The applications of SMAs in civil engineering are on the increase since SMAs show unique properties of shape memory effect and superelastic behavior.
Introduction Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are considered as a smart material in civil engineering and their applications for civil structures are expended more and more since they exhibit two outstanding behaviors such as shape memory effect and superelasticity.
Conclusions This study proved the applicability of the NiTiNb SMA for civil structures when shape memory effect is used.
The NiTiNb SMA showed very appropriate temperature window for the environment of civil structures.
