Investigating the impact of design criteria on the expected seismic losses of an office building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Low Damage Seismic Design (LDSD) guidance material being developed by Engineering NZ is considering a design drift limit for multi-storey buildings of 0.5% at a new damage control limit state (DCLS). The impact of this new ...
Experimental loading protocols to evaluate the seismic performance of floor systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Major earthquakes, such as the Canterbury and Kaikoura events recorded in New Zealand in 2010 and 2016 respectively, highlighted that floor systems can be heavily damaged. At a reduced or full scale, quasi-static experimental ...
