Organizer(s) |
Xuhong Qiang, Tongji University Xu Jiang, Tongji University |
|
Description: |
Civil engineering infrastructures often face great demands for strengthening or repairing during their service lives, especially due to fatigue and corrosion damages or exposed to fire and earthquake disasters. The smart material iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA), taking advantage of its unique shape memory effect and cost-effectiveness, is increasingly used to strengthen deficient or deteriorated structures in practice. The martensitic transformation and its reverse transformation which produces considerable recovery stress (300~500 MPa), can be utilized as prestress for the local repairing of fatigue/shear cracks in concrete/steel/composite structures and also global enhancement of down-wrapped concrete/steel/composite beams. In this special session, in comparison with traditional inspection and strengthening methods, mechanisms, techniques and practical applications of the intelligent material Fe-SMA on the rehabilitation of infrastructures will be introduced and classified in detail. |
