RC Structures Strengthened by an Iron-Based Shape Memory Alloy Embedded in a Shotcrete Layer—Nonlinear Finite Element Modeling

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have been widely used in civil engineering applications including active and passive control of structures, sensors and actuators and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) structures owing to unique features such as the shape memory effect and pseudo-elasticity. Iron-b...
