Experimental and Analytical Study of Fillet Welds for Seismic Actions
(2024-04-09)New Zealand steel standards NZS3404 uses a simplified method to predict the weld design capacity and to size the weld. According to the industry feedback on the design and manufacturing of the seismic welded connections, ... -
Experimental loading protocols to evaluate the seismic performance of floor systems
(2021-04-14)Major earthquakes, such as the Canterbury and Kaikoura events recorded in New Zealand in 2010 and 2016 respectively, highlighted that floor systems can be heavily damaged. At a reduced or full scale, quasi-static experimental ... -
Experimental proof of the effectiveness of timber panels in the seismic retrofit of URM buildings
(2023-04-19)Recently there has been a growing interest by both academia and the industry in the possibility of using timber as a strengthening material for the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. This possibility ... -
Experimental seismic characterisation of gravel-granulated tyre mixtures and design implications
(2021-04-14)Worldwide, due to the large amount of end-of-life tyre (ELT) stockpiles, reusing and recycling of ELTs in civil engineering applications have become a priority, significantly contributing to lessen environmental and health ... -
Experimental study on structural performance and damage characteristics of repaired flexural RC members
(2023-04-19)Understanding the expected seismic performance recovery of repaired members is important to make an effective recovery plan for damaged buildings. In this research, three RC beam and three RC wall specimens were subjected ... -
Experimental Testing of Brittle RC frames Strengthened by RSFJ-toggle bracing system
(2024-04-09)This paper investigates the performance of the new retrofitting system, consisting of self-centering damper resilient slip friction joint (RSFJ)-toggle bracing system, as a global retrofitting method for deficient RC frame ... -
Exploring resiliency between different steel lateral systems for new construction
(2024-04-09)It is known that while base level, code compliant structural designs produce buildings with a low likelihood of collapse, there is little guarantee that buildings will remain functional following moderate to severe ...
