Connections are among the most essential parts in precast structures. Their performance relates to
the structural limit states, as well as to manufacture, erection and maintenance of the structure itself.
Proper design of connections is one major key to a successful prefabrication.
The literature on this matter mostly illustrates classical solutions, often well known, but an
explanation of a general design philosophy for the design of connections was necessary. In fact, the
engineer, confronted with particular problems in his daily practice, does not always have the
theoretical basis to find the most appropriate solutions.
Aiming at filling this gap, Commission 6 “Prefabrication” formed a Task Group – TG 6.2 – who
finally drafted this Guide to Good Practice. Its philosophy focuses on the knowledge of the behaviour
of a whole structure, of the mechanisms and paths of force transfer within the connections and of their
interaction with the structural members. Indeed, such knowledge is the base for assessing the safety
and reliability of usual types of connections and to develop innovative design.
