| Abstract: |
This study was carried out to access the performance of near surface mounted (NSM) memory steel reinforcement for shear strengthening of concrete girders with I-sections. Specially designed/strengthened concrete I-sections were tested in tension and the bond behaviour of memory steel was observed and reported as failure mode, load displacement and strain variation. It has been demonstrated that the memory steel reinforcement has a great potential for active shear strengthening of concrete girders with I-section. The activation of memory steel apply prestress on the I-section that delays the cracking and increases the ultimate failure load. The delayed shear cracking will consequently retain the aggregate interlock mechanism that is the main component of shear strength. Besides the additional strength of the external reinforcement, the yielding of internal stirrups is also delayed that further retains the intrinsic shear strength. The results reported in this paper are part of a wider study to investigate various shear strengthening configurations for precast prestressed I-girders using memory steel reinforcement and fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs). |
