Numerical investigation of reinforced-concrete beam-column joints retrofitted using external superelastic shape memory alloy bars
The unique properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have motivated researchers to use them as primary reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this study, the applicability of using external unbonded SMA bars to retrofit RC beam-column joints (BCJs) is investigated. A three-dimension...
