Abstract: A model to predict the shear strength versus shear distortion response of hybrid connections between reinforced concrete columns and steel (RCS) beams is presented. Based on a preestablished maximum attainable joint shear ...

Abstract: The inelastic cyclic response of hybrid connections consisting of RC columns and steel beams (RCS) is studied in this paper. Experimental results from the lateral load testing of nine exterior RCS connections are presented. ...

Abstract: The reliability of reinforced concrete bridge beams that are flexurally strengthened with externally bonded carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates according to current AASHTO design provisions was quantified. The ...
