Mechanical and Bond Behavior of a Hybrid Steel–Basalt–Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced High-Performance Concrete with Steel, GFRP or CFRP Bars
curves (ramp-softening for steel and ramp-plateau or exponential for FRP) captured the stiffness, strength, and energy hierarchy with low error. The main contribution of this study lies in providing a configuration-consistent reference dataset and calibrated bond-slip descriptions for hybrid-fiber HPC members reinforced with both steel and FRP bars. The results highlight the role of the hybrid fiber network in improving crack stability and provide design-oriented parameters for anchorage assessment and nonlinear bond-slip modeling. Although the results are based on a limited experimental program, they establish a mechanistically coherent basis for further optimization of hybrid HPC matrices and development of performance-based anchorage formulations in high-performance structural applications.
