Investigating the effect of stiffness on the seismic performance of RC structures
(2023-04-19)This study investigates the correlation between stiffness and the seismic performance of RC structures. Structural performance was compared for buildings affected by four different earthquakes, Tokachi-Oki (1968), Chile ... -
Investigating the impact of design criteria on the expected seismic losses of an office building
(2021-04-14)Low Damage Seismic Design (LDSD) guidance material being developed by Engineering NZ is considering a design drift limit for multi-storey buildings of 0.5% at a new damage control limit state (DCLS). The impact of this new ... -
Investigating the interaction between rocking amplitude and ground motion characteristics via artificial neural networks
(2024-04-09)Unreinforced masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to out-of-plane seismic loading. During an earthquake, masonry walls behave as rigid bodies undergoing rocking motion. Thus, from a dynamics perspective, their ... -
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 ... -
