Shear failures in RC members are associated with brittle collapses, for this reason, shear
strengthening of existing structures is often required. This paper presents an innovative …

Shape-memory alloys (SMAs) have attracted considerable interest in structural engineering
because of their ability to 'memorise'their original form when subjected to thermomechanical …

Concrete structures often face unforeseen challenges, whether from degradation or
unexpected actions, requiring innovative strengthening techniques to extend their lifespan …

This paper presents numerical analyses of an experimental study where, previously tested,
Superelastic-Shape Memory Alloy (SE-SMA) and typical steel-reinforced concrete shear …

This paper presents the analysis of using iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMA) to
prestress the hogging bending moment region of precast Hollow Core Slabs structural floors …
