Application of shape memory alloy dampers in the seismic control of cable-stayed bridges
TL;DR: In this article, shape memory alloys (SMAs) are used for cable-stayed bridges to control the deck displacement and limiting the bending moment demands on the bridge towers, and a study is conducted to determine the sensitivity of the bridge response to the hysteretic properties of the SMA dampers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of actively confined concrete using shape memory alloys
Moochul Shin,Bassem Andrawes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the uniaxial compression behavior of concrete cylinders confined using an innovative active confinement technique, where the thermally triggered recovery stress of prestrained Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) spirals was utilized to apply external active confining pressure to concrete cylinders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active Confinement of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Columns Using Shape Memory Alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using an innovative technique for seismic retrofitting of RC bridge columns using shape memory alloys SMAs spirals was explored and the experimental results were used to calibrate the concrete constitutive model used in the analytical study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unseating prevention for multiple frame bridges using superelastic devices
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the adaptive superelastic unseating prevention device was evaluated on a typical multiple frame reinforced concrete box girder bridge using a suite of representative ground motions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between Shape Memory Alloy Seismic Restrainers and Other Bridge Retrofit Devices
TL;DR: In this article, a sensitivity and a case study are conducted using computer simulations to compare the effectiveness of SMA retrofit devices with other devices, including metallic dampers, viscoelastic dampers and shape memory alloys (SMAs).
