Finite Element Convergence Study of the Asymmetric Friction Connection (AFC) in the Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ)
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a cost-effective, low damage seismic resisting beam-column connection developed for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimised version of the ...
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 ...
Developing Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand's construction sector
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Aotearoa’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019 and it became the fourth largest workplace in the year ended June 2021, significantly contributing to New Zealand’s economy. However, it has long been ...
Numerical parametric analysis of gravity column base-plate connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Gravity column base-plate connections are normally treated as pinned connections in design. Correspondingly, a low rotational stiffness value is specified in the New Zealand steel design standard, NZS 3404. However, previous ...
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 ...
