In civil engineering, beam structures such as bridges require reinforcement to increase load-
bearing capacity and extend service life due to damage, aging, and capacity degradation …

Application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) cables on long-span cable-supported bridges
can overcome the disadvantages of traditional steel cables such as heavy weight, obvious …

This study developed a novel prestressing system of the carbon fiber reinforced polymer
(CFRP) plate to strengthen damaged steel beams, which reduced the operation space at the …

This paper presents the development of an iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA)
system for the strengthening of steel plates. The shape memory effect (SME), which is the …

This study entails the development of a non-destructive prestressed strengthening solution
for steel beams using adhesively bonded memory-steel (also known as iron-based shape …

This study presents a design criterion developed for fatigue strengthening of a 120-year-old
metallic railway bridge in Switzerland and presents a pre-stressed un-bonded reinforcement …

This study investigated the stress recovery behavior of an Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni-VC shape
memory alloy for prestressed strengthening, focusing on high-temperature activation of the …

Numerous studies in the literature have shown that the strengthening of steel members
using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites can significantly extend the …

In this paper, the flexural behaviors of steel–concrete composite beams strengthened by
prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate with unbonded retrofit systems …

In the last two decades, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been used
for the strengthening of various civil structures. Since recently, iron-based shape memory …
