BOLTED CONNECTIONS FOR PRECAST STRUCTURES
IN SEISMIC AREAS – PEIKKO SOLUTIONS AND
DESIGN EXAMPLES
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO READ THIS PAPER?
Seismic activity is a global risk. To save human lives, the current
structural design requirements aim to prevent the buildings from
collapsing.
Learn about real life project examples where high seismic
demand has been met with state-of-the-art use of bolted
connections technology.
If you are doubtful about the safety of precast structures in
seismic areas – read the paper. The reason for past failures has
been design deficiencies and poor detailing.
WHAT’S THE KEY TAKEAWAY?
A precast structure behaves well under seismic loading if the connections
between the precast elements, such as beams, columns and
foundations behave well.
The good performance of the connections is measured in terms
of sufficient strength to carry the seismic loads and adequate
deformation capacity to accommodate the displacement of the
structure.
Peikko offers tested and reliable products and solutions and
can also support you so that you can handle the challenging design
situations better.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT THE MOST OF THE PAPER?
A designer facing the challenges of seismic design in his everyday
work.
But it would be beneficial for the precast industry and investors
in general as precast structures could be used even more efficiently
and safely.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Cem Özer, the Managing Director of Peikko
Turkey, is a California Licensed Professional
Engineer with over 28 years of professional
experience. He has extensive experience in
structural design and seismic evaluation of
medium to high rise structures in high-risk
seismic zones.
The whitepaper was co-authored by
Elena Camnasio.
I find myself lucky to be working in an
environment where every project is a
new challenge. The challenge to deal
with seismic design and also present
solutions that utilize state-of-the-art
technology and engineering approach
that is always awarded by seeing the
end products in the field. – Cem
