Element exchange search algorithm for optimal placement of viscous dampers for building structures
(2020-04-22)Optimal design of supplemental dampers efficiently enhances the seismic performance of structures. Existing methods of optimal damper placement design either require a large amount of iteration or can only reliably arrive ... -
Elongating plastic hinge element for nonlinear analysis of RC structures using OPENSEES
(2023-04-19)During inelastic cyclic loading, the length of plastic hinges in reinforced concrete (RC) members increases irreversibly which significantly affects the seismic performance of RC structures. It is hence necessary for ... -

Enhancing earthquake and tsunami preparedness and response in Kura Kaupapa Māori/Schools Aotearoa New Zealand: learnings from the 5 March 2021 East Cape earthquake sequence
(2022-04-27)Aotearoa New Zealand is exposed to numerous potentially damaging impacts from various hazard events. The east coast of the North Island, one of the most active seismic regions in New Zealand, faces significant earthquake ... -
Enhancing earthquake and tsunami preparedness and response in Kura Kaupapa Māori/Schools in Tairāwhiti and Waiāriki, Aotearoa New Zealand
(2023-04-19)Aotearoa New Zealand is exposed to numerous potentially damaging impacts from various hazard events. The east coast of the North Island, one of the most active seismic regions in New Zealand, faces significant earthquake ... -
Enhancing seismic performance of existing buildings using viscous dampers for Forward-Directivity Earthquakes – The Challenges
(2021-04-14)Enhancing the performance of an existing building with viscous dampers for a Wellington site requires thorough consideration of near-fault effects, the Wellington Fault being so close. Earthquake records with forward-directivity ... -
Enhancing seismic performance of structure with different configuration of passive D3 viscous damper
(2021-04-14)For each structure and project, there is a unique desire. Seismic building performance can be increased using dissipation systems like viscous dampers. However, these improvements are offset by the added cost if the total ... -
Enhancing Structural Resilience: Three-Dimensional Seismic Isolation (3DSI) in Practice
(2024-04-09)This research introduces a novel three-dimensional seismic isolator designed to evaluate the coupled horizontal-vertical responses of a five-story building. A comprehensive structural analysis using the OpenSees software ... -
