A Review of Practice-Oriented Methods for Estimating Seismic Demands on Parts and Components
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
A variety of methods for the estimation of demands on building parts and components have been proposed in international codes and the literature. These have been reviewed as part of recent research co-funded by QuakeCoRE, ...
Source of numerical non-convergence in the analysis of bilinear SDOF systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Numerical non-convergence is an important factor impeding the research into and widespread adoption of the nonlinear dynamic analysis. Upon encountering non-convergence at an analysis time step when using an implicit time ...
Method for the explicit consideration of ground motion duration in NZS 1170.5
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Recent studies have demonstrated that longer earthquake ground motion duration can reduce structural deformation capacity and increase collapse risk. This study introduces a method to explicitly account for such effects ...
