The online presentation provides a brief outline of several hybrid steel-concrete forms: walls and columns with several embedded steel profiles, connections strengthened by steel profiles, and hybrid connections.
A unified design procedure for hybrid connections incorporating steel shear-keys that are welded to a steel column and fully integrated into the concrete floor, will be covered in detail. The design expressions are complemented by detailing requirements for each specific region of the connection. Recommendations are also given for determining the shear-key dependent parameters, such as the embedment length and cross-section size.
The design procedure was validated against an extensive database of tests and numerical models and is suitable for effective practical application.
