      Assadi, Soheil; Bagheri, Hamed; Yan, Zhenduo; Zarnani, Pouyan; Hashemi, Ashkan; MacCrae, Greg; Clifton, Charles; Jia, Liang-Jiu; Quenneville, Pierre (2024-04-09)
      A consortium of university researchers (UoA, AUT and UC) from New Zealand and Tongji University have undertaken shake-table tests of various friction damping devices. This testing program is under the banner of the ROBUST ...
    • The ROBUST Steel Building Response 

      MacRae, Gregory; JIA, Liang-Jiu; Yan, Zhenduo; Clifton, Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Dhakal, Rajesh; Xiang, Ping; Rodgers, Geoff; Quenneville, Pierre; Zhao, Xianzhong (2024-04-09)
      The ROBUST test programme describes the full-scale shaking table testing of nine different steel frame building configurations on the Tongji University shaking tables. Energy dissipation occurs by means of friction devices ...
    • The top enablers and barriers of seismic  technology adoption in construction 

      Zarinkamar, Shermineh; Poshdar, Mani; Wilkinson, Suzanne; Quenneville, Pierre (2021-04-14)
      The slow process of adoption of the new technologies has been identified as a significant issue in the construction industry. In order to address this issue, the top enablers and barriers of the adoption process are needed ...
    • Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation 

      Yan, Zhenduo; Bagheri, Hamed; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, Charles; Rangwani, Kiran; MacRae, Gregory; Quenneville, Pierre; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Xiang, Ping; Jia, Liang-Jiu; Zhao, Xianzhong (2021-04-14)
      A 9 m high, full-scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building incorporating friction based connections is being tested using two linked bi-directional shake tables at the International joint research ...
    • Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels 

      Sahami, Kaveh; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2021-04-14)
      The conventional tank’s connections make the tanks to be either fully restrained or free for rocking motion, which generally creates a high level of force due to lack of ductility or large displacement demand due to uplift ...
