Abstract:The structural performance improvement of concrete members is by far a crucial theoretical issue for engineers, and the development of modern smart and composite materials makes it possible to gradually enhance the durability design of the concrete structure. In this study, six beams of the same size and reinforcement ratio, the proposed composite beam (SMA-GFRP-ECC) and five comparative beams (RC, R-ECC, SS-ECC, GFRP-ECC, SMA-ECC), were designed and tested under low-cycle unidirectional cyclic loading and unl… Show more
