Analysis and design recommendations for structures strengthened by prestressed bonded Fe-SMA by Li, Lingzhen, Wang, Sizhe, Chatzi, Eleni, Motavalli, Masoud, Ghafoori, Elyas

“…The asymmetric strengthening model is then modified to analyze reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened by embedded Fe-SMA rebars. Recovery stress at different activation temperatures, the influence of the activation temperature on the adhesive bond, as well as the prestress loss resulting from the deformation of substrate elements and adhesive joints are taken into account. …”
