Abstract :
    Generally, the precast concrete is a kind of concrete that build, cast and cure according to factory standard conditions and then carrying with use of suitable equipments to the project site and then erecting. In fact, precast concrete buildings are combination of different structural systems. In which we can mix this systems with several methods to get an useful and applied system. Structural connections and connection regions of precast concrete elements are usually subjected to concentrated forces with high magnitude. In this article we try to explain the apply of strut-and-tie method and also we will describe the ability of this method usage in existing connections between precast concrete segments.
