Seismic Assessment of a Benchmark Highway Bridge Equipped with Optimized Shape Memory Alloy Wire-Based Isolators

In this paper, an evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm named NSGA-II was used to determine the optimum radius for shape memory alloy (SMA) wires employed in conjunction with the lead rubber bearing (LRB), referred to as an SMA-LRB isolator. This algorithm simultaneously minimizes the...
