Mitigation of end zone cracks in precast prestressed concrete girders using shape memory alloys

Mitigation of end zone cracks in precast prestressed concrete girders using shape memory alloys

Precast prestressed concrete girders are widely used in U.S. bridge construction. With advancements in high-performance concrete and new girder designs, these girders are now capable of achieving significantly longer spans. Such spans often require deeper girders and an increased number of prestress...
