Abstract
The use of new materials in construction world is being more and more widespread currently. This research tries to study the deformation capacity of the column-beam union in structural frames experimentally. The results of two specimens are shown, one made with steel reinforcements and another with SMA-NiTi reinforcements. The deformation capacity of NiTi reinforced specimen is higher than the steel reinforced one, unlike load capacity.
