    • Advances in Floor Diaphragm In-Plane Modelling Using Truss Elements 

      Alizadeh, Saeid; MacRae, Gregory; Bull, Des; Clifton, Charles (2021-04-14)
      Different methods to model building floor diaphragm in-plane stiffness with truss elements are compared to identify the method most suitable for analysis in design. The methods considered include (i) Elastic truss, (ii) ...
    • Seismic Performance of Precast Hollow-core Units Seated Within the Plastic Hinge Region 

      Mostafa, Mohamed; Büker, Frank; Hogan, Lucas; Elwood, Kenneth; Bull, Des; Parr, Michael (2022-04-27)
      This paper discusses the susceptibility of hollow-core floor units to sustain a higher degree of damage when they are seated within the plastic hinge regions of the supporting beam. This damageability of these so-called ...
