Developing Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand's construction sector
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Aotearoa’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019 and it became the fourth largest workplace in the year ended June 2021, significantly contributing to New Zealand’s economy. However, it has long been ...
Design Considerations for Buckling Restrained Braces in Timber Frames Subject to Out of Plane Deformations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The introduction of using steel buckling restrained braces (BRBs) has proven to greatly improve the in-plane seismic performance of timber structures. However, little is understood about the performance of BRBs subject to ...
Chevron Buckling Restrained Brace Frame Seismic Behaviour Considering Out-of-Plane Effects
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
This project evaluates the behaviour of buckling restrained braces (BRBs) in a chevron configuration considering IP and OOP frame deformations using software capable of second-order inelastic frame analysis. Initially a ...
Multistage Friction Connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
