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 …

Cyclic deformation and fatigue behavior of an iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) Fe-
17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1 (V, C) were studied. In the first step, cyclic tensile tests were …

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 literature review has examined the use of FRP composite materials as a potential
retrofitting technique for civil structures. Importantly, the various material properties, bond …

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

This work discusses the development process of a direct fastening technique for
strengthening steel members using iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) strips. First …

The present paper is aimed at investigating the feasibility of the clinching process for joining
aluminum and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) thin sheets. Split dies with sliding …

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 …
