Seismic performance of bridges with novel SMA cable‐restrained high damping rubber bearings against near‐fault ground motions

This study presents a novel type of shape memory alloy (SMA) cable‐restrained high damping rubber (SMA‐HDR) bearing, which is particularly suited to near‐fault (NF) regions where the pulsing effect potentially exists in the ground motions. The working mechanism of the bearing is first described, fol...
