Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...
Ductile timber connections: Understanding the factors contributing to their ductility
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
It is well accepted that ductility in a timber structure is achieved through its conections as the behaviour of timber is inherently brittle. It is thus important to understand the diferent parameters that contribute to ...
Earthquake Protection of Residential Buildings: New Resilient System for Light Timber Framing
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
In NZ, similar to other countries, residential houses are mostly constructed using light timber framing. The common seismic solutions available in the market for such low-rise buildings are based on yielding of sacrificial ...
A New Rocking Concrete Shear Wall with Self-Centring Friction Connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
In recent years, the intention towards developing and utilising low-damage systems in seismic resisting structures has been increasing amongst researchers and engineers. Replaceability and repairability after earthquakes ...
