Behaviour of Unreinforced R.C. Beam-Column Joints Under Bidirectional Loading
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Modern building codes for reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures in areas susceptible to earthquakes prescribe detailing requirements for the beam-column joint to prevent shear failure and subsequent loss of gravity ...
Dynamic Behaviour of Interlocking Plastic-block Structure Using Shake Table
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Severe damage was caused by the earthquake, primarily to non-engineered structures in rural areas. Structures including roads, bridges, buildings and railroad tracks all suffered catastrophic destruction as a result of ...
Response of Retrofitted 3D RC Frames under Dynamic Loading Conditions
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
In this study, the response of 3D double story reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted through a diagonal friction damper under dynamic loading conditions, was evaluated using shaking table tests. A friction damper ...
Multidirectional cyclic testing of self-centering cross-laminated timber shear wall sub-assemblies
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Driven by demand for sustainable buildings, mass timber, specifically cross-laminated timber (CLT), is being more widely used in mid-rise buildings in the US. In areas of the US with a significant seismic (i.e., earthquake) ...
Seismic application of fillet and partial penetration butt welds
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Fillet and partial (incomplete) penetration butt welds are the most cost-effective weld details for structural steel connections. Correctly sized and executed, double-sided, balanced fillet welds and partial penetration ...
Base isolated building preformance and the impact of the national seismic hazard model
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The NZSEE/MBIE recently released seismic design guidelines aiming to provide a more consistence design performance of base-isolated buildings in NZ. This paper confirms the superior performance of base-isolated buildings ...
Design of Mixed Angle Screw CLT Hold-Down Connections to New Zealand Timber Standards
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Mixed angle screws provide a strong, stiff, and ductile hold-down solution for high-capacity Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) shear walls. Timber is an inherently brittle material and most inelastic responses in timber structures ...
Review and suggestions on timber buildings with hybrid lateral force resisting systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Timber-framed structures have long been the default structural form for residential construction in many countries, including New Zealand. However, for some complex low-rise and mid-rise buildings, hybrid Lateral Force ...
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 ...
A Practical Approach to Design Supplemental Damped Isolation Systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
With an update to the NZS1170.5 design hazard expected in 2023, New Zealand designers will need innovative solutions in-order to manage potentially significant increases in design hazard, particularly around the lower North ...
