Developing hysteresis curves for the optimised sliding hinge joint with asymmetric friction connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The semi-rigid Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) beam-column connection for steel moment resisting frames is a successful low damage system that shows a lot of promise in earthquake engineering. It allows for relative beam-column ...
The Scott Base Redevelopment: design response to natural hazards
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The Antarctic environment is extreme, making consideration of resilience crucial for survival. This paper outlines how site-specific hazards are being considered within a resilient design framework for the Scott Base ...
An automated wireless-based system for real-time health monitoring of civil infrastructures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
This paper presents a structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on wireless smart sensor network for real-time condition assessment of civil infrastructures. The system consists of a new wireless smart sensor network ...
Seismic retrofitting of RC-frames using Resilient Slip Friction Joint toggle-bracing system
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Seismic retrofitting of the current non-ductile or limited ductile RC buildings is one of the challenging design topics among the scholars and engineers. The common technique for RC-frame retrofitting involves adding ...
Robustness and accuracy of model-free structural health monitoring
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Rapid, accurate structural health monitoring (SHM) assesses damage to optimise decision-making. Many SHM methods are designed to track nonlinear stiffness changes as damage. However, highly nonlinear pinched hysteretic ...
A statistical approach to determine the seismic design parameters in the asymmetric sliding hinge joint using Belleville Springs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The design philosophy has changed over the past 20 years in seismic engineering. Structures moved from failing in a controlled ductile manner, to low damage design, to more recently, nearly no damage design (S. Ramhormozian, ...
Scion Hub: A three storey seismically resilient timber diagrid
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
The new three storey Hub building at Scion’s campus in Rotorua is an innovative approach to providing seismic resilience in timber. A demonstration project for Scion’s work in the timber industry it utilises several forms ...
A simple method to predict floor response spectral demands on nonstructural components
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
This paper summarises a newly proposed practice-oriented method to predict elastic floor acceleration response spectra for estimating demands on nonstructural components. The approach builds on previous contributions in ...
