Abstract
Smart concrete beams with dimensions 1996cm × 99cm × 85cm were manufactured, six bounds of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) were mounted in each beam as actuators. Experiment of the smart concrete beam was carried out, the temperature and the smart pre-stress of the SMA bundle, as the distortion of the beam, were monitored during the experiment. The results show that the smart concrete beam may change its performance as needed.
