Abstract: The hybrid composite beam (HCB) is a novel idea that combines conventional construction materials (i.e., steel and concrete) with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in a new configuration. This hybridization ...

Abstract: Three bridges were recently constructed in Missouri using a new type of hybrid composite beam (HCB) incorporated within traditional RC deck systems. These HCBs are comprised of three main subcomponents: a composite shell, ...

Abstract: The hybrid composite beam (HCB) is an innovative idea that incorporates traditional construction materials (i.e., steel and concrete) with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in an efficient configuration to ...
