SMA(Shape memory alloys) are unique materials with many excellent properties, such as excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high power/weight ratio and biocompatibility, high damping, shape memory effect, super elasticity, etc. In civil engineering, scientists try to use the advantages of SMA by making it into different components and they have already made some types of components that are SMA bracing, SMA constrains RC columns, SMA ring springs and base isolation bearing. All of these components can make contributions to seismic resistance, therefore, this article mainly focuses on the the contribution of SMA bracings and SMA constrains RC columns to the seismic resistance of the structure and the relationship between the improvement of their own performance and SMA.
