Resumen
This article explores the application of the global resistance methods (GRMs) on the design of hybrid glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams. Addressing challenges posed by GFRP-reinforced beams, this study aims to assess the impact of material uncertainties on the behavior of such hybrid beams. The investigation involves the experimental testing of I-shaped SFRC beams, which are used to develop and validate nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) models. These models incorporate material non-linearities while minimizing uncertainties related to modeling assumptions. Through the application of GRM, the study evaluates the global resistance safety factor, offering insights into the structural performance of hybrid reinforcement SFRC beams. Ultimately, this research seeks to facilitate a transition from traditional localized approaches to more accurate and comprehensive analyses for the design of hybrid reinforcement SFRC beams, contributing to the advancement of structural engineering by promoting safer, more resilient, and sustainable construction systems.
