Abstract

Grouted sleeve splices are widely used in precast concrete buildings and bridges, due to the advantages of standardized designs, factory production, and assembly construction. To ensure the integrity of the prefabricated concrete components, the mechanical behavior of grouted sleeve connections needs to be investigated. Thus, in this study, uniaxial tensile loading and cyclic loading tests were conducted for six groups of specimens considering the influence of defective grout on the mechanical performance of sleeve connections. It is revealed that the existence of grouting defect both in the middle and end of the embedded rebar would reduce the mechanical properties (including peak strength, deformation capacity and energy dissipation capacity) of the sleeve connections. The influence of grouting defect in different locations on the strain damage of sleeve was different. The findings pointed out the detrimental impact of grouting defects on the force transmission properties of sleeve connections, the regrouting operation for the precast concrete structures is needed.
