This book introduces readers to the fundamental properties and
practical applications of shape memory alloys (SMAs) from the
perspective of seismic engineering. It objectively discusses the
superiority of this novel class of materials, which could
potentially overcome the limitations of conventional seismic
control technologies. The results, vividly presented in the form of
tables and figures, are demonstrated with rigorous experimental
verifications, supplemented by comprehensive numerical and
analytical investigations. The book allows readers to gain an
in-depth understanding of the working mechanisms of various
SMA-based structural devices and members, including beam-to-column
connections, dampers, and braces, while also providing them with a
broader vision of next-generation, performance-based seismic design
for novel adaptive structural systems. Helping to bridge the gap
between material science and structural engineering, it also sheds
light on the potential of commercializing SMA products in the
construction industry. The cutting-edge research highlighted here
provides technical incentives for design professionals,
contractors, and building officials to use high-performance and
smart materials in structural design, helping them stay at the
forefront of construction technology.
