Abstract: Two methods to predict the pushover response of a hybrid steel braced frame that features concentric and eccentric connections are presented. The proposed hybrid frame configuration is intended for cold-formed steel (CFS) ...

Abstract: The method provided in ACI 440.2R for predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) gives conservative estimates of shear capacity due to its inability ...

Abstract: A methodology will be presented to predict the complete history of flexural deformations in composite prestressed concrete and steel beams from inception to the end of service life, which will include a prediction of beam ...

Abstract: Time-dependent flexural deformations for composite and noncomposite prestressed concrete beams and steel–concrete composite beams, which are subject to various loading and unloading events, are predicted based on several ...

Abstract: Short- to medium-span composite bridges constructed with adjacent precast inverted T-beams and cast-in-place topping are intended to provide a higher degree of resistance against reflective cracking and time-dependent ...
