A statistical approach to determine the seismic design parameters in the asymmetric sliding hinge joint using Belleville Springs
Mountfort, Jason; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles (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, ... -
A study of current research achievements and challenges on the application of High Strength Steel (HSS) endplates in seismic resisting systems
Yip, K.H. Keven; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)High strength steel is increasing in demand due to economic and mechanical benefits. A typical mechanical characteristic of HSS is that the ductility of the material decreases along with the increase in strength. This has ... -
Developing hysteresis curves for the optimised sliding hinge joint with asymmetric friction connections
Togher, Jake; Speirs, Carlos; Clifton, G. Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab (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 ... -
Full-scale shaking table testing of a low-damage steel structure using Resilient Slip Friction Joint
Bagheri, Hamed; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre; Yan, Zhenduo; Clifton, G. Charles; MacRae, Gregory Anthony (2020-04-22)The objective of this study is to give an overview of the design and numerical analyses related to a full-scale steel structure shaking table test that includes some structural applications of Resilient Slip Friction Joint ... -
The seismic performance of structural steel buildings in the 2010/2011 Christchurch Earthquake series and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake: lessons learned, ongoing research and needs of industry
Mohandas, Kiran; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, G. Charles; MacRae, Gregory Anthony (2020-04-22)At least 20 earthquakes greater than Ms 7 have taken place in New Zealand since 1850. The recent earthquake that occurred in Kaikoura (Ms 7.8) is considered one of the largest earthquakes since 1855, but Christchurch's ... -
Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFCs)
Chanchi Golondrino, Jose Christian; MacRae, Gregory Anthony; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)In the current design practice, the strength of Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs) is calculated considering the friction force developed at both sliding interfaces using the bolt tension reduced by the moment – shear ...
