Memory steel has been around in use for quiet some time; mostly in dental fixtures, spectacle frames and other applications that require higher than normal flexibility to stress and strain.

INTRODUCTION • Memory steel is a distinctly different alloy of steel and is marked by its super elastic property • Memory steel can be described as a class of steel that will return back to its original shape when the forces that cause deformation • This uniqueness of the metal can help the building construction industry to come up with radically different designs
The Advent of Industrial Steel Buildings • Industrial steel buildings are fast replacing cement-concrete buildings for various reasons • Steel buildings have already become the norm for large warehouses, factories, and stadium construction • But more interestingly engineers are exploring the use of memory steel in pre engineered buildings
The Future of Memory Steel in Building Construction Industry • One of the major areas where futuristic memory steels can be used is the bridge building sector • It has all the potentially to help architects to come up with designs that can withstand strong earthquakes • It is possible to construct steel structures (bridges for example) that can go without maintenance or repairs for a long time
Current Developments in Memory Steel Applications in Building Industry • There many good examples of engineers using memory steel on older building structures for making it stronger • Researchers are confident that in a few years, pre-fabricated concrete structures can be made using memory steel • It is not just time that will be saved; thanks to memory steel, designers will be able to give shape to concrete structures
Immediate Implications of Memory Steel in Construction • Renovation of old structures • Structures with special geometry requirements • A few quite are already offering factory-made memory steel sections, though using it on a massive scale may take a few years to fructify
