A full-scale hybrid beam consisting of a UHPC slab and FRP truss girder was fabricated. The novel side plate FRP joint characterized with improved load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and preferred ...

Abstract Hybrid structures require efficient connections to transfer forces between elements composed of different materials, ensuring the desired structural performance. Among the available solutions ...

Abstract: The bond and friction of the interface between concrete slab and steel beam can affect the shear force values of the shear studs widely-used in steel-concrete composite bridge structures.
