Bond between reinforcement and concrete highly affects the structural behaviour of
reinforced concrete (RC). Introduction of bond-slip models into numerical simulation allows …

Existing analytical and numerical models available in the literature can predict the shear
strength of CFRP in RC beams based on the FRP strains and this requires measuring the …

The use of superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) as reinforcements in concrete
structures is gradually gaining interest among researchers. Because of different mechanical …

The use of smart materials in the design of structures is emerging in the research community
due to their unique ability to sense the environment and react upon thermal and/or …

Since the wide cracks or large deflections can have a significant effect on the appearance of
concrete elements and may cause some uncommon behavior, therefore, serviceability of …

The work presented here aims at investigating the feasibility of iron-based Fe-SMA (shape
memory alloy) reinforcement as an alternative to conventional steel reinforcement. The …

Using the super elastic materials in structural design is becoming important in the research
field because of their rare ability to sense the around effect and react against the mechanical …

A bidirectional B‐spline QR method (BB‐sQRM) for the study on the crack control of the
reinforced concrete (RC) beam embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is …

Although cracking is normal in reinforced concrete structures, caution should be exercised to
prevent impairment of the proper function or durability of the structures or cause an …

Contemporary building regulations intend to define the standards for design and
construction while contemplating safety and serviceability for the occupants. Even though …
