This project is to explore several novel ideas and concepts for the             development of effective earthquake-resistant design and construction           techniques for PC building frames.  They include:  (1) use of a framing         system made out of (a) precast prestressed columns, possible several            stories high, with short beam extensions, and (b) precast prestressed           or partially prestressed beams connected to the extended columns; (2)           placing of cast-in-place (CIP) joint, designed to serve as an energy            absorbing plastic hinge, at a distance of one to three beam depths from         the face of the column; and (3) Utilization of SIFCON (slurry                   infiltrated fiber concret--the ultimate in fiber concrete) as the               matrix used in the CIP joint to insure high ductility, increase energy          absorption, reduce spalling, and improve shear resistance during load           reversals.
