This paper reports on an experimental study on the flexural behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete-steel double skin cantilever beams (referred to as DSTBs) that were tested under reversed cyclic loading. The beams were manufactured using a high-strength concrete (HSC) mix and they were 150 mm in diameter and 1.2 m in length. The main parameters of the experimental study included the size of the inner steel tube and the use of mechanical connectors in the form of steel rings welded on the inner steel tube. Test results indicate that DSTBs are capable of developing a highly ductile behavior under reversed cyclic lateral displacement excursions. It is found that the addition of mechanical connectors on the steel tube has no significant influence on the lateral displacement capacity of the test specimens, but they can eliminate the slippage between the concrete and inner steel tube. Examination of the test results has led to a number of significant conclusions on the influence of the beam parameters on the performance of DSTBs, which are discussed in the paper.

This article investigated the seismic performance of a new type of precast concrete beam-to-column joint with a steel connector for easy construction. Five interior beam-to-column joints, four precast concrete specimens, and one monolithic joint were tested under reversed cyclic loading. The main variables were the embedded H-beam length, web plate or stiffening rib usage, and concrete usage in the connection part. The load–displacement hysteresis curves were recorded during the test, and the behavior was investigated based on displacement ductility, deformability, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity. The results showed that the proposed beam-to-column joint with the web plate in the steel connector exhibited satisfactory behavior in terms of ductility, load capacity, and energy dissipation capacity under reversed cyclic loading, and the performance was ductile because of the yielding of the web plate. Therefore, the proposed joint with the web plate could be used in high seismic regions. The proposed joint without the web plate exhibited similar behavior to the monolithic specimen, indicating that this joint could be used in low or moderate seismic zones. Furthermore, the utilization of the web plate was vital to the performance of this system.
