Modelling uncertainty induced by plastic hinge length in lumped-plasticity analysis of RC columns
(2022-04-27)This study quantifies the influence of various plastic hinge length assumptions on the uncertainty in the response of reinforced concrete (RC) columns simulated using lumped plasticity models. Although several expressions ... -
Moment Curvature Analysis of wide-flange steel columns with local buckling dominant mode of failure
(2024-04-09)One of the key information that can provide an insight into the seismic behaviour of structural elements is their force-displacement curve. Such a curve can be obtained based on a moment-curvature analysis and using an ... -
Monitoring of lateral stiffness changes for a real building using hysteresis loop analysis
(2021-04-14)The BNZ building in Wellington, New Zealand was significantly damaged, and eventually demolished, due to the cumulative impact of three main earthquakes between 2013 and 2016. Although the building was equipped with a set ... -
Monitoring technologies to manage landslide risk to transportation routes in the Lower North Island
(2022-04-27)There is significant uncertainty in predicting the behaviour of slopes due to natural processes and events. The inherent variability in rock and soil make the use of precedent behavior a much more attractive tool. However, ... -
Monotonic and Cyclic Pushover Testing of Isolated Piles of the Whirokino Trestle
(2021-04-14)In New Zealand, over 60% of State Highway bridges were designed and built during eras with low seismic provisions and most of these bridges are supported by pile foundations. An improved understanding of the in-service ... -
Multi-scenario approach for the assessment of liquefaction exposure and impact across New Zealand State Highways
(2024-04-09)Events such as the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence or the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake demonstrated the impacts of liquefaction and lateral spreading across New Zealand infrastructure networks. Statistical liquefaction ... -
Multidirectional cyclic testing of self-centering cross-laminated timber shear wall sub-assemblies
(2023-04-19)Driven by demand for sustainable buildings, mass timber, specifically cross-laminated timber (CLT), is being more widely used in mid-rise buildings in the US. In areas of the US with a significant seismic (i.e., earthquake) ... -
Multistage Friction Connection Optimisation
(2024-04-09)This paper describes the use of multi-stage friction connections (MFCs) to modify hysteresis curve characteristics of structures in order to decrease their peak and residual displacements. Both cases with and without P-delta ... -
Multistage Friction Connections
(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 ... -
