Short description (English)	Retrofitting of Metallic Structures using Memory-Steel Strips
Abstract (German)	A unique feature of the proposed retrofit technique is application of memory-steel strips to metallic members by using adhesively bonded joints (instead of bolts/nails). A stepwise gradient bonding technique is suggested to prevent debonding of the memory-steel strips from base metal.
