Effect of GFRP-tie configurations on FRC columns with longitudinal hybrid (Steel-GFRP) reinforcement under lateral cyclic loading

Key Points

• FRC columns with longitudinal hybrid reinforcement exhibit significant improvement under cyclic loading.
• The analysis demonstrated that specific GFRP-tie configurations enhance structural stability and resistance.
• Using hybrid reinforcement techniques, critical insights into performance under lateral forces were obtained.
• Findings highlight the need for further testing of GFRP configurations in diverse conditions to confirm effectiveness.
