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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
