Development and experimental validation of a nickel–titanium shape memory alloy self-centering buckling-restrained brace

► A buckling-restrained brace with NiTi shape memory alloy was investigated. ► NiTi shape memory alloy tests examine effects of heat treatment and machining. ► Two large-scale braces exhibit robust behavior and significant self-centering. ► The prototype braces provide a basis for studying implement...
