Performance of RC beams strengthened with self-prestressed Fe-SMA bars exposed to freeze-thaw cycles and sustained load

•Iron-Based shape memory alloys bars were used in strengthening RC beams.•Strengthening with Fe-SMA resulted in significant improvement in flexural performance.•Freeze-thaw exposure resulted in a minimal deterioration on the strengthened beam.•Beams strengthened with Fe-SMA “self-prestressing” exper...
