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

This paper comprehensively reviews effective control applications using shape memory
alloy (SMA) actuators. Among many applications, this paper focuses on the vibration and …

This paper presents an innovative type of friction sliding bearing system incorporating shape
memory alloy (SMA) cables. The study commences with cyclic tests on individual SMA …

Frequency-based damage detection techniques have been widely applied to structural
health monitoring. By analysing the changes (shifts) in natural frequencies in a structure with …

This paper presents an innovative self-centering buckling-restrained brace (SC-BRB)
composed of a shape memory alloy (SMA) cables based self-centering system and an all …

This study explores the experimental response and failure behavior of an SMA cable brace.
The kernel of the developed SMA brace consists of four SMA cables with a diameter of 8 …

This paper investigates the seismic performance of bridges installed with a sliding-lead
rubber bearing (LRB) isolation system subjected to near-fault earthquakes. A three-span …

For seismic isolated buildings, the isolators should be able to control peak deformation and
have good restoring ability to return the building to its original position. Shape memory …

In the paper, the dynamic control of structural vibrations in ancient constructions is
considered. Since the constituent material of the structure exhibits poor tensile resistance …

One of the methods for improving the bearing capacity of the construction structures and
engineering constructions is the application of construction materials with the improved …
