RISTemperature Effect on Seismic Responses of SMA Knee-Braced Frames
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shape-memory alloy (SMA) knee-braced frames (KBFs) are a type of seismically resilient frame buildings. Knee braces (KBs) in this system are the SMA buckling-restrained braces, which provide both self-centering and ...
Seismic Design and Performance Evaluation of a Triple-Column Bent Bridge Retrofitted with Buckling-Restrained Shape Memory Alloy Dampers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In seismic prone regions, many old bridges deserve retrofitting measures to improve their seismic resilience. The recently proposed buckling-restrained shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers, which can maintain axial resistance ...
