Shape memory alloy (SMA) wire jackets for concrete are distinct from the conventional jackets of steel or FRP since they provide active confinement that can be easily archived due to the shape memory effect of SMAs. This study uses NiTiNb SMA wires of 1.0 mm diameter to confine concrete cylinder with the dimension of 300 mm × 150 mm (L × D). The NiTiNb SMAs have a relative wider temperature hysteresis than NiTi SMAs and, thus, are more applicable for severe temperature-variation environment which civil structures are exposed to. Steel jackets of passive confinement are also prepared to compare the cyclic behavior of active and passive confined concrete cylinders. For this purpose, monotonic and cyclic compressive loading tests are conducted to obtain axial and circumferential strain. The both of strains are used to estimate volumetric strains of concrete cylinders. Also, plastic strains from cyclic behavior are also estimated. For the NiTiNb SMA jacketed cylinders, the monotonic axial behavior differs from the envelope of cyclic behavior; this should be studied in future. The plastic strains of the active confined concrete show a similar trend to those of the passive confinement. The trend of plastic strain of this study does not match with that of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforce Polymer) jackets. For the volumetric strain, the active jackets of the NiTiNb SMA wires provide more energy dissipation than the passive jacket of steel.

Superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) exhibits the ability to undergo large deformations before reverting back to its undeformed shape following the removal of the load. This unique property underlies its great potential in the seismic design and retrofitting of structure members. In this paper, superelastic SMA wires were utilized to confine concrete cylinders to enhance their axial compressive behavior. The axial carrying and deformation capacities of SMA-confined concrete cylinders are assessed by uniaxial compression testing on a total of eight SMA-confined concrete columns and one unconfined column. The influence of the amount of SMA and the prestrain level of SMA wires, as well as the reinforcing mode, on the axial carrying and deformation capacity of confined concrete columns were considered. The analysis focuses on the axial carrying capacity and deformation performance of concrete columns reinforced with superelastic SMA under different loading conditions. Based on the experimental data and analysis results, it is found that superelastic SMA wires can increase the axial loading capacity and enhance deformation performance of concrete columns. Under the same loading condition, the ultimate bearing capacity of SMA-confined concrete columns increases as the increasing of the amount of SMA wire. The results of this study verify the effectiveness of superelastic SMA in enhancing the loading capacity and deformation behavior of concrete cylinders.

In this paper, preloaded specimen is used and confined by CFRP to act as structural concrete member in service. And the test to examine the behavior of the test piece has been carried on. After this, the strength and its influence factor has been analyzed. Referring the former strength model, the particular factor axial ratio B of the specimen this test has been taken into account.Then refering the existing model, the improvement has been made. And the new strength model for forecast to CFRP confined preloaded concrete is put forward, also it can be used as reference for reinforcing design of engineering.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of confinement method and specimen end condition on axial compressive behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete. A total of 12 aramid FRP (AFRP)-confined concrete specimens with circular cross-sections were tested. Half of these specimens were manufactured as concrete-filled FRP tubes (CFFTs) and the remaining half were FRP-wrapped concrete cylinders. The effect of specimen end condition was examined on both CFFTs and FRP-wrapped specimens. This parameter was selected to study the influence of loading the FRP jacket on the axial compressive behavior. In this paper the experimentally recorded stress-strain relationships are presented graphically and key experimental outcomes discussed. The results indicate that the performance of FRP-wrapped specimens is similar to that of CFFT specimens and the influence of specimen end condition is negligible.
