The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ): Design, Detail, and Implementation in Practice
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a low-damage, resilient, versatile, and cost effective seismic resisting system developed primarily for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimized ...
Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
A 9 m high, full-scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building incorporating friction based connections is being tested using two linked bi-directional shake tables at the International joint research ...
An attempt to determine a relationship between a mass-spring-friction damper single-degree-of-freedom system’s equivalent viscous damping ratio and its corresponding friction coefficient
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Damping forces are always present in real structures, occurring in several different forms, making them challenging to model expressly. Damping is often assumed to be viscous in nature, due to the simplicity of the ...
