Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
A 9 m high, full-scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building incorporating friction based connections is being tested using two linked bi-directional shake tables at the International joint research ...
Case studies on low damage mass timber structures with resilient connections
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
There is increasing public pressure to have seismic-resistant structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). It is well-known that the type and behaviour of the connections govern the ...
A comparison of New Zealand seismic code requirements with other major design codes in the implementation of seismic resilient devices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
In the ever-evolving earthquake engineering field, the need of the hour is to achieve earthquake-resistant buildings which have immediate occupancy following an earthquake. This implies that the demand for resilient dampers ...
The top enablers and barriers of seismic technology adoption in construction
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The slow process of adoption of the new technologies has been identified as a significant issue in the construction industry. In order to address this issue, the top enablers and barriers of the adoption process are needed ...
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ...
Elastic Design (μ=1.0) of Damage Avoidance Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) has been considered an efficient way for seismic design. Different solutions to achieve a robust DAD structure has been proposed and tested by researchers in the past. However, there is a lack ...
Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...
