This project explores the use of iron-based shape memory alloys in reinforced concrete walls to enhance seismic performance. By reducing residual displacements after earthquakes, it aims to create structures that remain serviceable and require less costly repairs, improving overall building resilience.
The current seismic design philosophy of reinforced concrete (RC) walls typically requires large inelastic strains and damage to accumulate in a plastic hinge region, which can result in post-event residual building displacements.
Often, the residual displacements will be in such excess that the building is required to be demolished.
This costly but expected performance level (i.e., no collapse, life safe) is currently under scrutiny and instead a serviceable structure with limited damage is war…
