This study is on the seismic response of new buckling-restrained braced frames(BRBFs) with superelastic SMA bracing system. The superelastic SMA materials can return to undeformed shape without additional heat treatments only after removal of applied loads. 6-story braced frame buildings were designed in accordance with the current design specifications in order to verify the performance of such bracing systems. Based on the anlysis results, Superelastic SMA bracing systems were also compared to those with conventional steel bracing system. And at last, analysis results show that the superelastic SMA bracing systems are very effective to reduce the residual inter-story drifts.
