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) ... -
Analytical simulation of seismic collapse of RC frame buildings
Koopaee, Mohammad E.; Dhakal, Rajesh P.; MacRae, Gregory (2015-09-30) -
BRB system stability considering frame out-of-plane loading and deformation zone
MacRae, Gregory; Lee, Chin-Long; Vazquez-Colunga, Saul; Cui, Jian; Alizadeh, Saeid; Jia, Liang-Jiu (2021-03-01) -
Chevron Buckling Restrained Brace Frame Seismic Behaviour Considering Out-of-Plane Effects
Simpson, Toby; Donald, Andre; MacRae, Gregory (2023-04-19)This project evaluates the behaviour of buckling restrained braces (BRBs) in a chevron configuration considering IP and OOP frame deformations using software capable of second-order inelastic frame analysis. Initially a ... -
Comparison of New Zealand standards used for seismic design of concrete buildings
Fenwick, Richard; MacRae, Gregory (2009-09-30) -
Design Considerations for Buckling Restrained Braces in Timber Frames Subject to Out of Plane Deformations
Dorrance, William; Huang, Matthew; MacRae, Gregory; Bashiri, Mehdi; Li, Minghao (2023-04-19)The introduction of using steel buckling restrained braces (BRBs) has proven to greatly improve the in-plane seismic performance of timber structures. However, little is understood about the performance of BRBs subject to ... -
Developing Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand's construction sector
Andisheh, Kaveh; Karpenko, Michail; MacRae, Gregory; Chang-Richards, Alice; Clifton, Charles; Moaveni, Babak; Eftekhar Azam, Saeed; Heinzel, Holger (2023-04-19)Aotearoa’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019 and it became the fourth largest workplace in the year ended June 2021, significantly contributing to New Zealand’s economy. However, it has long been ... -

Multistage Friction Connections
Chanchi Golondrino, Jose Christian; MacRae, Gregory; Coral Potosi, Hugo Anderson (2023-04-19)Multistage friction connections (MFCs) are bolted connections for dissipating seismic energy while reducing peak displacements and encouraging recentring. MFCs comprise two symmetric friction connections co-linearly ... -
