Earthquake-resilience of storage tanks: using an innovative anchorage system
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
In this study, a new anchorage system has been introduced by employing the recently developed Resilient Slip Friction Dampers (RSFDs) as ductile self-centring hold-downs for liquid storage tanks. This new anchorage mechanism ...
Introducing a low damage system incorporating rocking braced frame and resilient slip friction joint as a shear key
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2020-04-22)
In this paper, to achieve a self-centring damage avoidance rocking framed system, RSFJ has been employed as a shear link between braced frame and its boundary columns. Such a system could be used for a single or coupled ...
