[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Seismic Response of Concrete Structures Reinforced by Shape Memory Alloys (Technical Note)

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are unique smart materials that have many advantages, such as ability to resist large strains without leaving residual strains and ability to recover original form. However, the high costs of SMAs have limited their usage. This paper evaluates the behavior of concrete structures equipped with SMAs in an optimal manner as they are being used along the plastic hinge of ...
