The present disclosure relates to an optical-fiber-embedded and FRP-wrapped SMA composite bar with force sensing, stress driving, and structural reinforcement integrated. The surface of the plain round Fe-SMA bar is provided with a groove in advance for implantation of the sheathed optical cable such that the bar has a self-sensing function. The plain round Fe-SMA bar having a shape memory effect is used as a steel core, so it has the characteristic of self-tensioning; an FRP wrapping layer prevents corrosion of the plain round Fe-SMA bar used as the core and prevents fracture of the sheathed optical cable, thus improving the durability of a prestressed bar structures on the outer surface of the FRP wrapping layer may provide sufficient engaging force and anchoring effect, reducing loss of prestress due to friction and the like.

The present invention provides an early warning device and a ductility control method for a prestressed FRP reinforced structure. By setting a tensioning screw, prestressed reinforcement can be converted into non-prestressed reinforcement when tensioning screw failure occurs, and the structure is still in a safe state. This can improve the bearing capacity and ductility of the reinforced structure, while the ductility can be controlled and designed, thereby resolving the problem of easy disconnection and brittle failure between the FRP and anchors, and greatly improving FRP utilization and structural safety.
