The object of this study is to evaluate the structural shear capacity of the PC girder-PC beam joint. The dapped end of PC beam and the ledger of PC girder are usually designed to design load. If the end of PC beam can be designed with continuous end, the dapped end of PC beam and the ledger of PC girder do not need to resist to all loads except dead load and construction load. The experimental program was carried out with 7 specimens containing the variable factors as the anchored method of the hanger bar, design load, be or not exist of ledger bars. As a result, the continuity of the dapped end and the ledger were ensured their safety although the design load was only the dead load and the construction load. The shear critical section was expanded toward the effective depth d, the distance from the supported position of the beam. If the ledger is designed according to PCI Design Handbook, the structural system of the ledger is as to the cantilever slab system. But the ledger of this study is as to the 3 side fixed slab system. Therefore the design of the ledger by PCI Design Handbook will lead to highly conservative results.

The composite beam adopted in the study was designed to reduce the floor height as well as to embed the top flange of steel frame into the slab that will enable to avoid applying the fire-resistant coating and to unify the joint method with a steel frame-type. As the steel frame and bottom concrete of the beam is pre-fabricated at the factory it could reduce the overall schedule at the jobsite. Applying such composite beam system to the work is expected to provide the efficient and enhanced performance, given the current tendency of the building construction that tends to be getting higher, larger and dense. The study focused on combining the composite beam with various column systems in a bid to propose the details thereof. A desirable composite girder can be adopted depending on site conditions through the evaluation of various beam and jointing approaches. Among the column systems applied to the study are steel column, SRC column, RC-PC column and RC column. The ways of combining with the columns addressed in the study were categorized into the rigid joint, pin joint, steel frame joint and bracket type joint. Besides, the instruction for site fabrication of beam-column was added in an effort to help set up the site fabrication procedures.

Green Frame is a Rahmen structure made of composite precast concrete members. According to the concrete design code, a lower rebar of precast concrete girder, should be extended to the inner precast concrete column. However, such extension of lower rebar may sharply reduce its constructability. To satisfy the criteria, the connection and anchorage of beam rebar should be taken into consideration, yet it is difficult to use lapping as it is not easy to ensure enough space when Green Frame method is adopted. To solve this, a new method of lower rebar connection and anchorage was developed, and this study is intended to review economic feasibility prior to applying the method developed onto sites. The study result can be used as basic data for selection of the optimal joint and anchorage method for lower rebar of the green frame construction.
