Shape memory alloys (SMAs), as the self-explanatory name indicates, are materials that can
'memorize'or retrieve their pristine shape when exposed to temperature or load due to their …

Abstract This review explores Shape Memory Alloy Fibers (SMAF) as a promising
reinforcement for concrete structures, particularly in earthquake zones. Limited …

This study presents a novel type of shape memory alloy (SMA) cable‐restrained high
dam** rubber (SMA‐HDR) bearing, which is particularly suited to near‐fault (NF) regions …

This study presents a novel self‐centering (SC) base isolation system enabled by traditional
lead rubber bearing (LRB) incorporating superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) U‐shaped …

Due to its unique properties within hazard mitigation, shape memory alloy (SMA) has been
developed and adopted within the design and retrofit of civil infrastructures to improve the …

This paper proposes novel self-centering (SC) seismic base isolators by utilizing shape
memory alloy U-shaped dampers (SMA-UDs) with favorable superelastic behavior. Two …

In this study, two types of smart elastomeric bearings are presented using shape memory
alloy (SMA) wires. Due to the unique characteristics of SMAs, such as the superelastic effect …

This study analytically determines the seismic fragility of a three-span continuous highway
bridge fitted with laminated rubber bearings and shape memory alloy (SMA) restrainers …

Seismic performance analysis is conducted for an isolated three-span continuous highway
bridge, which is subjected to moderate to strong earthquake ground accelerations in the …

Recent major earthquakes worldwide demonstrated extensive bridge collapses caused by
span unseating, which highlights the necessity of implementing effective unseating …
