Optimization of shape memory alloy braces for concentrically braced steel braced frames
Expanding the use of smart braced frames to govern the seismic response of structures by providing ductility and elasticity has been hampered and delayed by cost indexes. The braces in frames comprise two segments of expensive shape memory alloys (SMAs) and high-strength steel with high stiffness. T...
