A statistical approach to determine the seismic design parameters in the asymmetric sliding hinge joint using Belleville Springs
Mountfort, Jason; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)The design philosophy has changed over the past 20 years in seismic engineering. Structures moved from failing in a controlled ductile manner, to low damage design, to more recently, nearly no damage design (S. Ramhormozian, ... -
A study of current research achievements and challenges on the application of High Strength Steel (HSS) endplates in seismic resisting systems
Yip, K.H. Keven; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)High strength steel is increasing in demand due to economic and mechanical benefits. A typical mechanical characteristic of HSS is that the ductility of the material decreases along with the increase in strength. This has ... -
Comparison between weld sizing methods included in steel structure standards
Taheri, Hafez; Karpenko, Michail; Clifton, G. Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Dong, Pingsha; Lim, James B. P.; Roy, Krishanu; Fang, Zhiyuan (2024-04-09)Although the weld sizing methods given in standards look simple, the actual stress distribution in most welds is complex. Some simplifications are assumed to make designing welds easier for design engineers in different ... -
Developing hysteresis curves for the optimised sliding hinge joint with asymmetric friction connections
Togher, Jake; Speirs, Carlos; Clifton, G. Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab (2020-04-22)The semi-rigid Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) beam-column connection for steel moment resisting frames is a successful low damage system that shows a lot of promise in earthquake engineering. It allows for relative beam-column ... -
Full-scale shaking table testing of a low-damage steel structure using Resilient Slip Friction Joint
Bagheri, Hamed; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre; Yan, Zhenduo; Clifton, G. Charles; MacRae, Gregory Anthony (2020-04-22)The objective of this study is to give an overview of the design and numerical analyses related to a full-scale steel structure shaking table test that includes some structural applications of Resilient Slip Friction Joint ... -
Seismic response of sustainable, resilient eccentrically braced frames
Hasanali, Maryam; Andished, Kaveh; Taheri, Hafez; Mago, Nandor; ShahMohammadi, Amir; Karpenko, Michail; Jarmai, Karoly; Dong, Pingsha; Clifton, G. Charles; MacRae, Gregory (2024-04-09)“Circular design” and “Construction 4.0” are two distinct concepts that can be complementary and beneficial within the construction industry while prioritising sustainability. Nascent global Construction 4.0 knowledge ... -
The seismic performance of structural steel buildings in the 2010/2011 Christchurch Earthquake series and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake: lessons learned, ongoing research and needs of industry
Mohandas, Kiran; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles; MacRae, Gregory Anthony (2020-04-22)At least 20 earthquakes greater than Ms 7 have taken place in New Zealand since 1850. The recent earthquake that occurred in Kaikoura (Ms 7.8) is considered one of the largest earthquakes since 1855, but Christchurch's ... -
Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFCs)
Chanchi Golondrino, Jose Christian; MacRae, Gregory Anthony; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)In the current design practice, the strength of Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs) is calculated considering the friction force developed at both sliding interfaces using the bolt tension reduced by the moment – shear ...
