A Sensitivity Study of the Design Parameters Affecting the Global Stability of Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Recent research has focused on the ability of buckling-restrained braces and their connecting elements to act together as a series of resisting elements to resist mechanism formation. This potential failure mode is known ...
Learning Importance Sampling Distributions via Normalizing Flows to Estimate Rare-Event Failure Probabilities
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Engineered systems are typically designed to be robust and have very low probabilities of failure. However, developing accurate estimates of these probabilities can be challenging given the complex (and typically nonlinear) ...
Seismic Damage States and Damage Quantification of Light Timber Framed Walls in Residential Houses
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
New Zealand (NZ) has a performance-based code environment. The essence of performance-based seismic design of buildings is to achieve multiple performance requirements including damage control. However, the current seismic ...
