This paper presented a new modified arrangement (inclined) for corbel shear reinforcement. Moreover, the performance of composite corbels including WF- and Tapered WT- section with the usual and proposed alignment is investigated. Shear span/depth ratio (av/d of 0.70 and 1.0 are considered. Results revealed that the proposed configuration improves ductility and toughness by 16% and 38% respectively for av/d of 0.70, and 55% and 64% respectively for av/d of 1.0. Furthermore, It is found that using the composite corbels with the proposed alignment improved ductility and toughness by (35-80) % and (45-173) % respectively for av/d=0.70. The respective values for corbels with av/d=1.0, are (38-101) % and (67-88) %. Moreover, relative enhancements in cracking and failure loads, ductility, and toughness for the composite WF-steel corbel with diagonal stirrups of 82%, 98%, 105%, and 273% respectively for av/d=0.7. The respective values are 111%, 115%, 138% and 188% respectively for av/d=1.0.
