(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The objective of this study is to give an overview of the design and numerical analyses related to a full-scale steel structure shaking table test that includes some structural applications of Resilient Slip Friction Joint ...
Cyclic tests of an innovative seismic bracing member - multiple U-shaped flexural plates dissipater
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Following Canterbury earthquake sequence, there has been an increasing interest in development of low-damage structural design using supplemental damping such as the use of metallic dissipaters. In this research, an ...
Impacts of innovation in performance-based building code
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits and the unintended consequences of innovation in performance-based building code with an emphasis in New Zealand building code. Also, this paper examines how innovative ...
Introducing a low damage system incorporating rocking braced frame and resilient slip friction joint as a shear key
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
In this paper, to achieve a self-centring damage avoidance rocking framed system, RSFJ has been employed as a shear link between braced frame and its boundary columns. Such a system could be used for a single or coupled ...
The Scott Base Redevelopment: design response to natural hazards
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The Antarctic environment is extreme, making consideration of resilience crucial for survival. This paper outlines how site-specific hazards are being considered within a resilient design framework for the Scott Base ...
Scion Hub: A three storey seismically resilient timber diagrid
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The new three storey Hub building at Scion’s campus in Rotorua is an innovative approach to providing seismic resilience in timber. A demonstration project for Scion’s work in the timber industry it utilises several forms ...
