ANALYSIS FOR BEHAVIOR AND ULTIMATE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE CORBELS WITH HYBRID REINFORCEMENT
This research is devoted to investigate the behavior and ultimate strength of concrete corbels with hybrid reinforcement (steel and CFRP) bars subject to vertical distributed applied load only. Experimental investigation were carried on eighteen specimens and divided in two groups according to location of hybrid reinforcement. The experimental program variables include ratio of hybridization, location of hybrid reinforcement, and shear span-to-effective depth (a/d) ratio. All specimens had the same dimensions and tested as upside down double-symmetrical concrete corbels.
