The application of adhesively-bonded joints for strengthening of structures using iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) has recently emerged in construction. Fe-SMAs and the majority of structural adhesives exhibit a pronounced nonlinear material behavior, which may result in a favorable ductile...
