This article presents an analysis of different approaches and simplifying theoretical principles regarding the numerical calculations of connecting nodes and interaction of prefabricated elements, in buildings with large panels located in Albania, in areas with moderate seismicity using SAP2000 software that apply FEM for static linear models. Taki...

Many countries in Eastern Europe, during the 1960-1970s, as well as Albania responded to the growing demand for new houses utilizing the emerging trends for industrialization of the construction process and mass construction of prefabricated residential buildings based on large-panel prefabricated RC elements.
