The work presented here is the starting point of a two-year numerical and experimental research programme, funded by the Department of Civil Protection and developed at the European Centre for Training and Research in Earthquake Engineering (Eucentre), the main goal of which will be the evaluation of the seismic local and global response of RC precast structures. The present article concerns a preliminary overview of the main design issues following the recent development of the code requirements.
