    • Liquefaction potential of sand-gravel mixtures: experimental observations 

      Pokhrel, Abilash; Chiaro, Gabriele; Cubrinovski, Misko; Kiyota, Takashi (2022-04-27)
      Case histories from at least 27 earthquakes worldwide (including three from New Zealand: 1929 Mw7.6 Murchison earthquake; 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield earthquake; and 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake) have indicated that liquefaction ...

    • Modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of BRBFs 

      Sistla, Saiteja; Chandramohan, Reagan; Sullivan, Timothy J. (2022-04-27)
      The objective of this study is to assess the impact of modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) on their estimated seismic performance. A number of recent studies have ...

    • Repair and Reinstatement of Douglas-fir CLT Hold-down Connections using Mixed Angle Self Tapping Screws 

      Wright, Thomas; Li, Minghao; Lim, Thomas; Moroder, Daniel; Carradine, David; Gedyma, Mikhail (2022-04-27)
      The system ductility of timber structures under seismic loads relies on well detailed connection systems. With the increasing popularity of mass timber structures, CLT shear walls provide an efficient seismic load resisting ...

    • Seismic Isolation of bridges: Case Studies 

      Mohammed, Mohammed; DeBisschop, Lani; Darling, Scott; Ibrahim, Ahmed (2022-04-27)
      Seismic isolation is one of the most effective means of earthquake hazard mitigation. Seismic isolation bearings are typically placed in a bridge between the substructure and superstructure and physically decouple the ...

    • Shake Table Tests of a Six-Span Steel Bridge Model for Nonlinerality Identification 

      Navabian, Niusha; Beskhyroun, Sherif (2022-04-27)
      Most of real structures exhibit nonlinear behaviour during their lifetime. Nonlinear behaviour of a structure can be as a result of a local effect (friction in joints, joint and link flexibility, and nonlinear contact) or ...

    • Study on floor-slab out-of-plane effect of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building 

      Gu, Anqi; Henry, Richard; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Yang, Qun; Lu, Yiqiu; Zhou, Ying (2022-04-27)
      In 2019, a system-level shake-table test of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building was conducted using the multi-functional shake-table array at Tongji University as part of an international collaborative project ...
