Shape memory alloys are designed to revert to their original state due to stress and heat, as well as to enhance ductility, energy absorption, and damping capabilities for significant deformations. Fatigue caused by cyclic loading with high frequency is of paramount importance for controlling deformation, drift, and the initial state of the material, as well as structural stability. Therefore, studying their behavior under loading cycles and qualitatively and quantitatively assessing their effectiveness in reducing deformations and parameterizing this effect becomes essential for optimizing structural behavior using SMAs. Given the significance of these materials in the construction of concrete tanks, this research focuses on analyzing SMA components, specifically investigating the effects of smart materials. The scope of the SMA is limited, and consequently, this study examines a concrete tank model utilizing smart materials aimed at enhancing SMA performance. The conclusion of this research indicates that the use of smart materials will positively affect the structural behavior.
