The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ): Design, Detail, and Implementation in Practice
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a low-damage, resilient, versatile, and cost effective seismic resisting system developed primarily for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimized ...
Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
A 9 m high, full-scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building incorporating friction based connections is being tested using two linked bi-directional shake tables at the International joint research ...
Determining the realistic rotational stiffness of column base connections in steel seismic resisting systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The New Zealand Steel Structures Standard, NZS 3404, provides an upper and lower rotational stiffness boundary for fixed and pinned column base connections for structural analysis, respectively. These boundaries aim to ...
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 ...
