Abstract:The use of new materials in construction endows structures with better mechanical characteristics. The combination of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and nickel and titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy (SMA) improves the behavior of building structures by increasing both their ductility and dissipation energy due to the low-damage and self-centering properties of NiTi SMA. Since UHPC and NiTi SMA are expensive materials and still scarce in distribution channels, this article tries to offer design recommen… Show more
