A risk‐targeted seismic design method for shape memory alloy (SMA)‐based structures is proposed in this study, taking account of temperature effect and the uncertainty of regional temperature distribution. To facilitate discussion of the overall performance of SMA‐based structures, the thermo‐mechanical behaviors of both SMA material and SMA‐based self‐centering braces (SMA‐SCB) are first introduced,...
