The design of the reinforcement in the transition zone of hybrid girders (i.e., girders composed of concrete girders and steel girders) in terms of the resistance to the transferred load is critical to ensure the integrity of the structure. Although the availability of various types of reinforcement in the transition zone, existing design guidelines are insufficient with regard to the various reinforcing methodologies. To address this shortcoming, this paper focuses on the behavioral characteristics of hybrid girders with respect to prestressing and three types of connections. Flexural tests were conducted using nine hybrid girder specimens that were designed and fabricated using different combinations of shear studs, anchors, lap joints, and prestressing techniques to achieve the steel-to-concrete connection. A numerical model also is proposed to predict the nonlinear flexural behavior of hybrid girders based on the test results and conventional strain compatibility. The results are used to evaluate the contribution of each component of the connection and derive the combination that best provides resistance for hybrid girders.

Cast-in-place steel plates with headed steel studs constitute a common type of connection system in tilt-up members. These connection systems used in composite construction play an important role in vertical and lateral load transfer mechanisms and in the energy dissipation of seismic responses by allowing sufficient ductility and controlling cracks in the concrete elements. Due to the relatively thin concrete panel thickness, it is difficult to attain adequate ductility in connection system. This study examined design parameters, including the embedment depth-to-stud diameter ratio (hef/d), panel thickness, and supplementary reinforcement, in order to propose effective reinforcing methods to prevent premature failure such as pry-out failure. In addition, this study investigated the feasibility of current existing formulas, including those found in the American Concrete Institute 318M-14 provisions and in the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Handbook with respect to the design variables. This study also investigated the difference between monotonic and cyclic test results and compared the results obtained from the literature.
