Abstract
Shape memory alloys (SMA) show a temperature depending stiffness and strength. A reinforced concrete (RC) beam with SMA wires was tested and compared with a conventional RC beam. Furthermore, tensile and pull-out tests with the SMA wires are presented. By using the constrained recovery effect, it was possible to produce a changeable prestress in the RC beam.
