Concrete beams reinforced with FRP rebars have greater durability than standard steel elements. The main disadvantage of using is the low ductility elements which may be unacceptable in certain situations. There are several different ways increasing concrete elements, analyzed this paper. They compared based on efficiency, influence and ease construction. Less tested methods given more attentio...

In assessments of the seismic adequacy of existing steel bridges, the steel-to-concrete anchorage connections typically found at the base of steel truss piers can be potentially vulnerable, having little to no ductility and inadequate strength to resist seismic demands. Many other non-ductile failure locations may also exist along the seismic load path. Failure would result in unacceptable perf...
