Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Steel Frames with Shape Memory Alloy Connections

Probabilistic Seismic Demand Assessment of Steel Frames with Shape Memory Alloy Connections

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) exhibit the ability to undergo large deformations but can recover permanent strains via heating (shape memory effect) or when stress is removed (superelastic effect). This study evaluates the comparative seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames (SMRFs) with in...
