A study of current research achievements and challenges on the application of High Strength Steel (HSS) endplates in seismic resisting systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
High strength steel is increasing in demand due to economic and mechanical benefits. A typical mechanical characteristic of HSS is that the ductility of the material decreases along with the increase in strength. This has ...
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 ...
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 ...
