Abstract

Statement of the problem. It’s considered the problem of developing a methodology for structural evaluation of hybrid design - a reinforced concrete column combined with external composite GFRP (glass-fiber-reinforced-plastic) shell. This hybrid design is intended for bridge piers. Results. As a result of a study, theoretical relationships were formulated to determine the longitudinal and transverse stresses and relative deformations of hybrid column structural elements. The developed formulas take into account the cooperation of triaxial compressed concrete core and an anisotropic composite GFRP shell. Conclusions. The obtained theoretical dependences of the hybrid column’s elements behavior make it possible to develop a structural evaluation methodology of bridge piers hybrid columns. The findings of the investigation are proposed to be applied in the structural evaluations of the bridges piers hybrid columns with composite GFRP elements.
