Shape memory alloys (SMAs), as the self-explanatory name indicates, are materials that can
'memorize'or retrieve their pristine shape when exposed to temperature or load due to their …

This study performs seismic vulnerability assessment in the longitudinal direction of a three-
span continuous highway bridge, restrained by shape memory alloy (SMA) bars and …

Restrainers, along with isolation bearings, are often installed in bridges to avoid upper
girders falling off their piers during large earthquakes. In this study, a novel energy …

Recent advancements in numerical analysis and computational power have pushed the
current bridge design specifications towards a more descriptive performance-based seismic …

通过对桥梁金属耗能隔震挡块进行形状优化, 提高桥梁的抗震性能, 解决桥梁在地震中的落梁
破坏问题, 保证桥上与桥下的人员与车辆以及周围建筑物在地震中的安全 …

This study is devoted towards evaluating seismic performance of a three-span continuous
highway bridge subjected to moderate to strong earthquake ground motions in its …

Seismic isolation is one of the most effective options for passive protection of structures. In
this paper, the effectiveness of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based Natural Rubber Bearing …

Seismic isolators have been used to protect buildings, bridges and mission-critical
infrastructure from the damaging effects of earthquake shaking. In past earthquakes, most of …
