The wedge effect in the beam column joint of the Multipurpose Construction System for Cuba (SMAC system)
In the present paper an innovative solution for a structurally continuous beam- column joint in prefabricated structure is described. It is rapidly executed and very safe and has been widely used in different constructions for research centers, universities and others. This type of connection is one...
