摘要: |
An experimental program was conducted to investigate the performance of large-scale reinforced concrete beams strengthened with near-surface-mounted iron-based shape-memory alloy (Fe-SMA) strips. Shape-memory alloys are a unique class of alloys with the ability to undergo large deformations and return to their original shape through stress removal by unloading or heating. Four beams were tested in total, including a control beam and three beams strengthened with near-surface-mounted Fe-SMA strips. One beam was strengthened with five nonactivated strips, and two beams were strengthened with five and seven activated Fe-SMA strips, respectively. The results revealed the effectiveness of the strengthening technique in enhancing the flexural performance of the strengthened beams at the service and ultimate load conditions. Furthermore, the strengthened beams failed in a ductile failure mode by crushing of concrete after yielding of the steel reinforcements and the Fe-SMA strips, similar to the behavior of an under-reinforced concrete beam. The performance of the strengthened beams was compared with similar beams strengthened with prestressed, near-surface-mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars with comparable prestressing forces. The comparison revealed the superiority of the near-surface-mounted Fe-SMA in maintaining the ductile behavior of the beams compared with the brittle failure of near-surface-mounted CFRP-strengthened beams. |
