Finite Element Convergence Study of the Asymmetric Friction Connection (AFC) in the Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ)
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a cost-effective, low damage seismic resisting beam-column connection developed for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimised version of the ...
Seismic application of fillet and partial penetration butt welds
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Fillet and partial (incomplete) penetration butt welds are the most cost-effective weld details for structural steel connections. Correctly sized and executed, double-sided, balanced fillet welds and partial penetration ...
Numerical parametric analysis of gravity column base-plate connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Gravity column base-plate connections are normally treated as pinned connections in design. Correspondingly, a low rotational stiffness value is specified in the New Zealand steel design standard, NZS 3404. However, previous ...
