Finite element method for designing HF2V device force capacity
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting loads transferred to structural elements and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial structural damage. High ...
Modelling of vertical control in magnetic levitation for building isolation during earthquakes
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Earthquakes cause significant damage to buildings due to strong vibration of the ground. Levitating houses using magnets and electromagnets would provide a complete isolation of ground motion for protecting buildings from ...
Monitoring of lateral stiffness changes for a real building using hysteresis loop analysis
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The BNZ building in Wellington, New Zealand was significantly damaged, and eventually demolished, due to the cumulative impact of three main earthquakes between 2013 and 2016. Although the building was equipped with a set ...
