The seismic performance of structural steel buildings in the 2010/2011 Christchurch Earthquake series and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake: lessons learned, ongoing research and needs of industry
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
At least 20 earthquakes greater than Ms 7 have taken place in New Zealand since 1850. The recent earthquake that occurred in Kaikoura (Ms 7.8) is considered one of the largest earthquakes since 1855, but Christchurch's ...
Concept design of a steel frames post-disaster shelter utilising containers
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Nowadays, numerous earthquakes happen every year with many resulting in large potential aftershocks. Tents and portable dwellings are widely used as emergency shelters. However, tents can only be used for days or weeks, ...
Developing hysteresis curves for the optimised sliding hinge joint with asymmetric friction connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The semi-rigid Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) beam-column connection for steel moment resisting frames is a successful low damage system that shows a lot of promise in earthquake engineering. It allows for relative beam-column ...
A statistical approach to determine the seismic design parameters in the asymmetric sliding hinge joint using Belleville Springs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The design philosophy has changed over the past 20 years in seismic engineering. Structures moved from failing in a controlled ductile manner, to low damage design, to more recently, nearly no damage design (S. Ramhormozian, ...
