(2011). It is assumed that columns and the cap beam are precast. * It is not possible to complete a precast connection without taking additional steps. For example, to be able to use headed bar couplers in the plastic hinge area, a space is needed to fit the couplers inside the precast column thus casting of this space imposes extra step. Three times faster in construction
