    • Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study 

      Hashemi, Ashkan; Mpidi Bita, Hercend; Zarnani, Pouyan; Malczyk, Robert; Quenneville, Pierre; Varier, Sriraj (2022-04-27)
      The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...

    • Ductile timber connections: Understanding the factors contributing to their ductility 

      Quenneville, Pierre; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan (2022-04-27)
      It is well accepted that ductility in a timber structure is achieved through its conections as the behaviour of timber is inherently brittle. It is thus important to understand the diferent parameters that contribute to ...

    • Investigation of influential factors on yield strength of lead rubber bearings 

      Pourmasoud, M Masoud; Park, Alan; Hajirasouliha, Iman; Lim, James (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 ...

    • Mainstreaming building code practice and risk management principles towards disaster risk reduction 

      Nwadike, Amarachukwu; Aigwi, Itohan Esther; Wilkinson, Suzanne (2022-04-27)
      Global disaster impacts on the built environment have triggered the call for an operational disaster risk reduction (DRR). The application of building code requirements has shown an acceptable means of minimizing disaster ...

    • Seismic retrofit of historic timber structures: Uncertainties and adaption on site 

      Davies, Matt; Alley, Gareth; Cattanach, Alistair (2022-04-27)
      Existing timber structures, containing more hand-adapted and degradable components than other materials, provide challenges in ensuring your design intent is followed through on site. Often these buildings are flexible ...

    • Seismic strengthening of the Seatoun Tunnel 

      Wymer, Paul; Latham, Dean; Radosavljevic, Bojan; Brabhaharan, Pathmanathan; Tawfeek, Faiz (2022-04-27)
      The Seatoun tunnel is a 147m long, vehicle and pedestrian tunnel built in 1906-1907 to provide a tram connection between the suburb of Seatoun the city of Wellington.  In 2011, the Seatoun tunnel structure was assessed as ...

    • Wellington region land transport resilience business case 

      Brabhaharan, Pathmanathan; Siazon, Michael (2022-04-27)
      The high seismicity, rugged terrain and an increasingly adverse climate exacerbated by climate change mean that the capital city Wellington’s transport system has severe deficiencies in its resilience to natural and ...
