Contents:
Introduction to Shape Memory Alloys -- Conventional Seismic Control and Resistance Technologies -- Shape Memory Alloy Components -- Application of SMAs in Braces and Dampers -- Application of SMAs in Steel Beam-to-column Connections -- Application of SMAs in Base Isolators -- Application of SMAs in Concrete Structures -- Cost Assessment -- References.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book introduces readers to the fundamental properties and practical applications of shape memory alloys (SMAs) from the perspective of seismic engineering. It objectively discusses the superiority of this novel class of materials, which could potentially overcome the limitations of conventional seismic control technologies. The results, vividly presented in the form of tables and figures, are demonstrated with rigorous experimental verifications, supplemented by comprehensive numerical and analytical investigations. The book allows readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the working mechanisms of various SMA-based structural devices and members, including beam-to-column connections, dampers, and braces, while also providing them with a broader vision of next-generation, performance-based seismic design for novel adaptive structural systems. Helping to bridge the gap between material science and structural engineering, it also sheds light on the potential of commercializing SMA products in the construction industry. The cutting-edge research highlighted here provides technical incentives for design professionals, contractors, and building officials to use high-performance and smart materials in structural design, helping them stay at the forefront of construction technology.
