Restoration of worn-out reinforced concrete structures with materials with shape memory effect

Introduction. The paper shows the reinforcement tension technology, at the ends of which metal reinforcement segments with shape memory are attached, and also shows technologies comparable to the proposed one. Examples of the use of such technologies in the restoration of reinforced concrete products and in the stretching of reinforcement on concrete are shown. Aim. To simplify and reduce the cost of restoration work to restore worn-out reinforced concrete structures. Materials and methods. Patent searches for foreign patents in this area have been conducted, as well as scientific articles from the last 5 years have been studied. Results. A patent application has been filed and the application of this technology in practice has been substantiated. Conclusions. This technology is easily feasible in practice and can reduce the cost of restoration work.
