Optimum service and seismic structural protection with adaptive dampers and base isolators for immediate occupancy after the earthquake
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
To improve serviceability of important civil structures during seismic action, base isolators and dampers need to perform with high efficiency independent of the ground shaking level. In service and seismic actions, base ...
Comparison of optimal versus a convenient distribution method of viscous damper design
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
A simple and convenient method often adopted by practicing engineers designing supplemental viscous dampers to a building is to calculate damping coefficients of viscous dampers corresponding to a desired added damping ...
Numerical Investigation of Australasian Cold-Formed Steel strap-braced walls under lateral and vertical load
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) gained popularity in residential buildings due to its dimensional accuracy, lightweight, resistance to shrinking and creeping, durability, low embodied carbon and CNC manufacturing abilities. The ...
A prescriptive method for the design of new steel moment frame structures with supplemental damping
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
This paper presents a prescriptive method for the design of new steel moment frame structures with supplemental damping using fluid viscous dampers. The prescriptive method uses Modal Response Spectrum Analysis (MRSA) ...
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 ...
Cyclic behavior of older concrete columns reinforced with high-performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Many older existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings were designed without considering seismic loads. In such buildings, columns may be the most vulnerable element because they generally have insufficient reinforcement ...
