Do you have any experience related to CONFINEMENT WITH SMA-ACTIVATED FRP?

09 September 2014 1 8K Report

Active confinement is achivied by a SMS+FRP system.

This can be very helpful when cracked masonry need to be rehabilitated also in

stiffness, even if strength increase is found as same as passive confinement.

Hi, I am not doing the SMS+FRP system but steel strapping system that also implement the active confinement to concrete. I would love to share the knowledge and experience with you in this area. TQ
