Finite-element (FE) analysis of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete beams cast in U-shaped ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) permanent formworks is presented in this paper. Concrete damage plasticity (CDP) and FRP brittle damage models were used to simulate the damage behavior of concrete and FRP bars. The results of FE simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, parametric studies were conducted to investigate the effect of concrete and UHPC strengths, yield strength of steel bars, elastic modulus of FRP bars, ultimate tensile strength of FRP bars, types of UHPC-normal strength concrete (NSC) interface and thickness of UHPC under different reinforcement conditions. Flexural performances, in terms of cracking, yield, ultimate loads and corresponding deflections, failure mode, energy dissipation and ductility, were investigated. Traction-separation model was used to describe the bonding degradation and the maximum slip of two types of bonding interfaces (smooth surface and medium-rough surface). Both flexural capacity and resistance to deformation of composite beams are significantly improved by the utilization of hybrid FRP/steel reinforcement. The UHPC formwork can also delay the occurrence and development of cracks. By appropriately increasing the strength of UHPC or elastic modulus of FRP bar, the flexural capacity of composite beams is effectively improved. It is expected that the results presented in this paper can guide the design and construction of U-shaped UHPC permanent formwork-concrete composite beams reinforced with FRP bars.

A novel structural system based on precast reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall panels mutually connected vertically using T-connectors and horizontally using friction-bearing devices (FBDs) mounted on interposed steel columns was recently proposed. To investigate the seismic performance of the proposed precast RC shear wall system, three subassembly specimens simulating a single construction modulus were constructed and tested by considering different slot length and numbers of FBDs under quasi-static cyclic loading. Ductile flexural failure at drift of around 4.2% and load of around 265 kN was attained for both specimens with long-slot FBDs, while shear failure after moderate flexural ductility was attained at drift of around 3.8% and higher load of around 368.3 kN for specimens with short-slot FBDs, showing not-direct dependence of the load capacity on the number of FBDs installed. However, the higher number of FBDs allowed for higher hysteretic damping with a 27.3% increase in dissipated energy through cycles.
