Therefore precast structures have different connections in comparison with monolithic ones. The purpose of this research is investigation of precast connections behavior because as a result of these connections, precast structures have a different seismic behavior. According to the recent studies, the most important problem in these structures is due to connection joints. Introducing of new connection and comparison of its behavior with conventional precast and monolithic connections is subjected to promote current weakness of precast structures in this research. <br />Results indicate that the new connection has better behavior in strength, ductility, energy dissipation than conventional precast and equivalent monolithic connections under applied efforts.
