The substitution of reinforcing steel with shape memory alloys has been offered as a solution for reducing residual displacements in reinforced concrete (RC) walls. This paper presents some recent experimental and numerical research efforts conducted by the authors and colleagues in the iMMC at UCLouvain focusing on the seismic performance of RC walls detailed with shape memory alloys. A summary of an experimental campaign is provided, which involved testing two large-scale planar RC walls. Some results from numerical simulations using state-of-the-art finite element modelling are also presented. Current and future research will focus, among others, on developing a more robust connection between the shape memory alloy and conventional steel rebars for implementation in concrete structures. |
