A comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art experimental, theoretical and numerical
methods that aid understanding and predicting the quasi-brittle fracture behavior of plain …

This experimental study explored a new energy dissipation damper based on pre-stretched
pseudoelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. Due to the pseudoelastic effect and …

Abstract Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a new type of alloy that are capable of
strengthening reinforced concrete structures. This study aims to investigate the behavior of …

One of the methods for improving the bearing capacity of the construction structures and
engineering constructions is the application of construction materials with the improved …

The paper deals with strengthening of the reinforced concrete beam by shape memory alloy
at the place of maximum loading and deformation. A structural analysis is performed using …

In this study, a finite element analysis is conducted to study the behaviour of RC beams with
different configurations of transverse reinforcement under torsion. These configurations of …

A damping device based on the shape memory alloy which was designed and
manufactured has been described in the paper. The device consists of two preliminary …

Steel is embedded in concrete to carry tension and concrete will be sustaining compression.
The structure is design to withstand the certain load but when the sudden load increased the …

The utilisation of iron-based Shape Memory Alloy (Fe-SMA) to enhance the structural
integrity of existing buildings and infrastructure has gained momentum in recent years …

This paper investigates the effect of polypropylene fiber (PPM-12) and nitinol (NiTi)
superelastic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires in concrete beams under flexural repeated …
