Seismic Response and Analysis of Multiple Frame Bridges Using Superelastic Shape Memory Alloys

The feasibility of using superelastic shape memory alloys in the retrofit of multiple frame bridges is investigated. First, three shape memory alloy constitutive models with various levels of complexity are compared in order to determine the significance of including subloops and cyclic loading eff...
