Investigation of influential factors on yield strength of lead rubber bearings
(2022-04-27)The design of seismic isolators as specified by building code requirements is well defined and well established. However, there is still some refinement required for these design practices, especially in terms of estimating ... -
Investigation of the Plastic Drift Capacity of RC Frames with Beam-Column Joint Failure
(2021-04-14)MBIE/NZSEE guidelines have various methods to assess existing buildings, of which Displacement Based Assessment (DBA) is one. This paper reports on the application of DBA to reinforced concrete (RC) frames where beam-column ... -
Investigation of vertical reinforcement termination in lightly reinforced concrete walls
(2021-04-14)Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are effective lateral force-resisting components commonly implemented in tall buildings. Recent studies have investigated the impact of minimum vertical reinforcement limits on the ... -
Is the bar too high? Foundation settlement in post-earthquake Christchurch
(2021-04-14)Three case studies are presented to show how significant ground deformation occurred with the Canterbury earthquake sequence, which in turn resulted in slopes to shallow foundations. The case studies are all from the ... -

Learning Importance Sampling Distributions via Normalizing Flows to Estimate Rare-Event Failure Probabilities
(2023-04-19)Engineered systems are typically designed to be robust and have very low probabilities of failure. However, developing accurate estimates of these probabilities can be challenging given the complex (and typically nonlinear) ...
