Publication of “AIJ Guidelines for Structural Design and Construction of Prestressed Concrete Buildings Based on Performance Evaluation Concept （Draft）”

Abstract

Guidelines for Structural Design and Construction of Prestressed Concrete Buildings Based on Performance Evaluation Concept(Draft) has been published by Architectural Institute of Japan in 2015. This guideline was required to evaluate the performance of prestressed concrete buildings after the great earthquake of Hyougoken-Nanbu(1995). The feature of this guideline is many items concerning of PC buildings from structural design to construction. These items include the state of the art knowledges of materials, design for long term loading, seismic design, evaluation of PC members and construction.
