Key innovations
The innovation of this system lies in that it uses shape memory alloy as an active driving force source to achieve "zero deformation" of the building through intelligent closed-loop control. It integrates force monitoring, temperature sensing, computer processing and SMA actuation, and can accurately cancel structural deformation in real time, providing a new method for active structural deformation control.
Potential economic benefits
Significantly reduce long-term maintenance and disaster damage costs, extend building life, and improve asset value and structural safety.
Potential climate benefits
The system reduces construction and operating carbon emissions by extending building life, reducing the need for new building materials, and optimizing structural design.

Solution details

The "zero-deformation" intelligent control system of the building is connected to the driving system and the intelligent control system on the main structure; the driving system includes a driving force source, a driving device, a thermal resistor, a temperature measuring instrument, and an intelligent anchoring device; the driving force source adopts shape memory alloy material and is arranged outside the body of the structural member. The arrangement shape can be a straight line, a broken line or a curve, and both ends are anchored with the main structure by the intelligent anchoring device; The driving device forms a closed loop with the driving force source through wires for driving the driving force source. The thermal resistance sheet is fixed on the driving force source and connected with the temperature measuring instrument; The intelligent control system includes a stress state monitor and a computer control system. The stress state monitor is installed at the control section of the main structure and connected with the drive system through the computer control system to form a closed control loop. The computer analyzes and processes the stress on structural members. Information and controls the actuation of the drive system. The deformation of buildings can be accurately controlled.<o></o>
