Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFCs)
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Finite element method for designing HF2V device force capacity
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting loads transferred to structural elements and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial structural damage. High ...
Modelling of vertical control in magnetic levitation for building isolation during earthquakes
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
Earthquakes cause significant damage to buildings due to strong vibration of the ground. Levitating houses using magnets and electromagnets would provide a complete isolation of ground motion for protecting buildings from ...
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 ...
