Influence of failure mode uncertainty on the collapse capacity of RC components
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Acceptance criteria for reinforced concrete components are selected based on the assumption that the failure mode of a component is deterministic. This paper makes a case suggesting that such an assumption may be untrue ...
Real world investigation of seismic performance of buildings with hollowcore floors
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The cyclic test on a super-assembly of hollowcore floor and frames at the University of Canterbury around 2003 revealed the seismic vulnerability of hollowcore floor practice at that time. Subsequent tests were conducted ...
