Design of an electric activation system for the smart hybrid tendons crack-closure system in concrete beams.
"B1", "B2", "B3", "B4". Each sheet within the excel worksheet contains the results of the three-point bending test performed on the four beams to test the Hybrid Tendons activation as reported in the paper. The three-point bending results are reported in terms of Force (kN) and Crack mouth Opening Displacemet or CMOD (mm). The files contain the plots Force-CMOD for each case study before and after the tendons activation as described in the paper.
"Crack width". The files also contain the estimation of crack closure estimated by the data collected during the test.
"Concrete Mix". This worksheet shows the concrete mix adopted in the experimental campaign for all the specimens.
"Mathcad". A worksheet with the results of the numerical modelling is also present. The numerical model results are preented in termos of Force (kN), CMOD(mm) and Bending Moment (kNm).
