(54)	Moment-resisting beam to column connection

(57) A method of connecting a pre-cast horizontal building element (beam) (3) to a pre-cast vertical building element (column) (2) by post-tensioning after one end (4) of the said beam (3) leans laterally on one side face (5) of the said column, and as a result of obtaining a connection (1) which is capable of transferring moment of flexion and shear force whereby the connection exhibits reliable and sufficient strength for resistance against seismic loads. Post-tensioning the beam (3) to the column (2) is performed by the tensioning and locking of the post-tensioning tendons (8) which are fed in the tendon sleeves (7) that are embedded in the column (2).
