摘要
This paper focuses on damage control design of SMA dampers in steel frame piers.A parametric study based on time history analyses is carried out on frametyped bridge piers with axial-type SMA damping device.The parameters examined are design parameters of strength ratioαF and stiffness ratioαK.Seismic performance indexes on displacement and strain are investigated under three JRA recommended Level 2 Ground TypeПstrong earthquake motions.Design recommendations are suggested following the results of the parametric study.
