Damage-control steel frames equipped with SMA connections and ductile links subjected to near-field earthquake motions: A spectral energy factor model

Shape memory alloys for structural engineering: An editorial overview of research and future potentials

“…The study proved the efficacy of the new system in shifting the damage from the coupling beams to the non-expensive and easy-to-replace steel angles. Similarly, SMA bolts were studied in [21] as connecting elements in earthquake-resistant steel frames. The study proved the efficacy of the SMA bolts in developing partially self-centering systems that sustain limited post-earthquake inelastic deformations.…”

Mechanical properties of high strength steels and weld metals at arctic low temperatures

“…Reducing carbon emission and reaching carbon neutrality are the urgent issues to be addressed in construction industry that need the joint efforts from different parties, such as research institutes, manufacturing industries, construction sectors and governments. To struggle toward carbon neutrality, researchers have sought to innovate the high performance construction materials [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and structure systems [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] in order to improve the efficiency of engineering structures. In the meantime, the metallurgical industry has sought to develop advanced manufacturing technologies [28][29][30][31] and new steel tubular section profiles, e.g.…”
