A New Rocking Concrete Shear Wall with Self-Centring Friction Connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
In recent years, the intention towards developing and utilising low-damage systems in seismic resisting structures has been increasing amongst researchers and engineers. Replaceability and repairability after earthquakes ...
Lincoln University Waimarie building: An application of friction damping devices with recentring for low damage design
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The experience from Christchurch and Kaikoura seismic events demonstrated well that the ‘life safety’ criteria is not sufficient to protect the community from earthquake impact. Currently, the community expects more measures ...
Low Damage Wall To Floor Connections For Seismic Resilient Timber Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Rocking timber walls provide superior seismic performance in comparison with conventional light timber structures. Nevertheless, there is an uplift movement at the base of the wall that is translated as vertical displacement ...
