Determination of the Design Parameters of SMA Cables for Self-Centering Frame Structures

In order to improve the force performance of traditional anti-buckling energy dissipation bracing with excessive non-recoverable deformation caused by strong seismic action, this paper presents a prestress-braced frame structure system with shape memory alloy (SMA) and investigates its deformation c...
