Feasibility of capacity spectrum method for analysis of low damage structural systems with friction connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The use of friction connections for low damage design of new structures has been increasing over the past few years. These connectors have a high energy dissipation ratio and are relatively economical to fabricate and ...
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 serviceability and over-strength mechanism on seismic response of low damage structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Low-damage structural systems are designed in a way the earthquake damage is controlled and localised in pre-designated locations and components (e.g. fuses). These components are normally replaced, repaired or designed ...
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 ...
