Full-scale shaking table testing of a low-damage steel structure using Resilient Slip Friction Joint
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The objective of this study is to give an overview of the design and numerical analyses related to a full-scale steel structure shaking table test that includes some structural applications of Resilient Slip Friction Joint ...
Case studies on low damage mass timber structures with resilient connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
There is increasing public pressure to have seismic-resistant structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). It is well-known that the type and behaviour of the connections govern the ...
A comparison of New Zealand seismic code requirements with other major design codes in the implementation of seismic resilient devices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
In the ever-evolving earthquake engineering field, the need of the hour is to achieve earthquake-resistant buildings which have immediate occupancy following an earthquake. This implies that the demand for resilient dampers ...
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ...
Design of RSFJ Self-centring Brace for Ultimate Limit State
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
In previous studies, it was shown that the RSFJ brace assembly is prone to elastic buckling for which a new mechanism composed of two telescopic sections was introduced as a remedy to increase the elastic buckling load, ...
Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...
Ductile timber connections: Understanding the factors contributing to their ductility
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
It is well accepted that ductility in a timber structure is achieved through its conections as the behaviour of timber is inherently brittle. It is thus important to understand the diferent parameters that contribute to ...
High capacity glued-in rod connections in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Glued-in rods are efficient and high-capacity connections for achieving high-strength connections in new timber structures and reinforcing existing timber buildings. With the emergence of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and ...
Earthquake Protection of Residential Buildings: New Resilient System for Light Timber Framing
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
In NZ, similar to other countries, residential houses are mostly constructed using light timber framing. The common seismic solutions available in the market for such low-rise buildings are based on yielding of sacrificial ...
