CI4807ConcreteQ&A

Date: 

July 1, 2026

Publication:

Concrete International

Volume:

48

Issue:

7

Abstract:

Currently, there is no established standard for hybrid construction joints. The upcoming ACI PRC-360, “Design of Slabs-on Ground,” will provide information on the purpose and design of such joints. However, the document will not provide a solitary standard hybrid joint detail, as the design depends on the amount of reinforcement used throughout the slab and the type of dowels specified for the construction joints.

Abstract:

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement is currently only allowed to be used in concrete structures in Seismic Design Category (SDC) A. An approach explored in this article is the use of GFRP reinforcement for structural elements that are not intended to be part of the inelastic (yielding) mechanism of the seismic force-resisting systems.
