Elastic Design (μ=1.0) of Damage Avoidance Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) has been considered an efficient way for seismic design. Different solutions to achieve a robust DAD structure has been proposed and tested by researchers in the past. However, there is a lack ...
Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
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 ...
High capacity glued-in rod connections in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Glued-in rods are efficient and high-capacity connections for achieving high-strength connections in new timber structures and reinforcing existing timber buildings. With the emergence of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and ...
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 ...
Lincoln University Waimarie building: An application of friction damping devices with recentring for low damage design
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The experience from Christchurch and Kaikoura seismic events demonstrated well that the ‘life safety’ criteria is not sufficient to protect the community from earthquake impact. Currently, the community expects more measures ...
Effect of uncertainties in collapse assessment of coupled CLT walls with energy dissipators as couplers and resilient hold-downs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Rocking coupled CLT walls with energy dissipaters as couplers provide increased stiffness and damping, enabling the design realisation of taller CLT structures. Researchers have proposed design methods and conducted ...
Low Damage Wall To Floor Connections For Seismic Resilient Timber Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Rocking timber walls provide superior seismic performance in comparison with conventional light timber structures. Nevertheless, there is an uplift movement at the base of the wall that is translated as vertical displacement ...
