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 ...
Seismic damage avoidance design of moment resisting frames with innovative resilient connection
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Moment-resisting frames are one of the efficient lateral-load resisting systems in terms of providing architectural freedom in design and imposing smaller forces on foundations. Recent major earthquakes have resulted in ...
Seismic retrofitting of RC-frames using Resilient Slip Friction Joint toggle-bracing system
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Seismic retrofitting of the current non-ductile or limited ductile RC buildings is one of the challenging design topics among the scholars and engineers. The common technique for RC-frame retrofitting involves adding ...
Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The conventional tank’s connections make the tanks to be either fully restrained or free for rocking motion, which generally creates a high level of force due to lack of ductility or large displacement demand due to uplift ...
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, ...
Elastic Design (μ=1.0) of Damage Avoidance Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) has been considered an efficient way for seismic design. Different solutions to achieve a robust DAD structure has been proposed and tested by researchers in the past. However, there is a lack ...
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 ...
