An Integrated Study For Hybrid Composite Beam (Hcb) Structures, Mohamed Abdelkhalik Aboelseoud Jan 2015

An Integrated Study For Hybrid Composite Beam (Hcb) Structures, Mohamed Abdelkhalik Aboelseoud

Doctoral Dissertations

"The hybrid composite beam (HCB) consists of a self consolidating concrete (SCC) arch that is tied at the end by galvanized strands. The tied arch is encapsulated by a glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) shell. A limited number of researches have studied the essential design methodologies and long-term performance of the HCB. The research presented in this dissertation aimed to more fundamentally understand the structural behavior of this new beam and evaluate its durability. This research study was conducted through four phases. A full-scale bridge load testing was conducted on a single-web HCB bridge during the first phase. The first …
