Achieving Structural Stability
with Certified Seismic Performance

Shinsegae Construction announced on the 17th that it has obtained certification for a new construction technology from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for its PC (Precast Concrete) dry joint method, developed through four years of joint research and development.

This technology was jointly developed by Shinsegae Construction along with POSCO E&C, IS Dongseo, WinWin Development, Changyoung, and Yeonwoo Architectural Structural Engineering Office.


It is a precast (PC) beam-column self-supporting joint technology that uses mechanical connecting devices to dry-connect horizontal rebars penetrating the PC beam-column joint and the corner main rebars of the upper and lower parts of the PC column, thereby realizing joint performance of intermediate moment frames.


This technology is a rapid construction self-supporting dry PC method that can stand independently without separate temporary supports. Having received seismic performance certification, it offers improved structural seismic performance compared to existing PC joint methods.


It can be applied to major structural system members such as beams, columns, and walls during building construction, reducing construction time and costs while enhancing safety.


Additionally, it is a technology that enables off-site construction to address productivity decline caused by aging in the construction industry and a shortage of skilled workers. By minimizing on-site work compared to conventional wet methods, it contributes to shortening construction periods and is expected to improve site safety management by eliminating temporary members.



Lee Jung-won, Director of the Future Growth Research Institute at Shinsegae Construction (Executive Director), said, "Most existing technologies are based on PC wet methods or fail to secure joint integrity, but this new PC dry joint technology can realize joint integrity and high seismic performance." He added, "To sustain growth based on technological capabilities in the rapidly changing construction market, we will focus on actively developing labor-saving (OSC) technologies."
