A comparison of New Zealand seismic code requirements with other major design codes in the implementation of seismic resilient devices
Varier, Sriraj; Agarwal, Setu; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre; Zarnani, Pouyan (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 ... -
Case studies on low damage mass timber structures with resilient connections
Hashemi, Ashkan; Fast, Tobias; Fast, Paul; Dickof, Carla; Jackson, Robert; Dunbar, Andrew; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (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 ... -
Design of RSFJ Self-centring Brace for Ultimate Limit State
Yousef-Beik, Seyed Mohammad Mehdi; Varier, Sriraj; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2021-04-14)In previous studies, it was shown that the RSFJ brace assembly is prone to elastic buckling for which a new mechanism composed of two telescopic sections was introduced as a remedy to increase the elastic buckling load, ... -
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
Hashemi, Ashkan; Bagheri, Hamed; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (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 ... -
The top enablers and barriers of seismic technology adoption in construction
Zarinkamar, Shermineh; Poshdar, Mani; Wilkinson, Suzanne; Quenneville, Pierre (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 ... -
Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
Yan, Zhenduo; Bagheri, Hamed; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, Charles; Rangwani, Kiran; MacRae, Gregory; Quenneville, Pierre; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Xiang, Ping; Jia, Liang-Jiu; Zhao, Xianzhong (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 ... -
Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels
Sahami, Kaveh; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2021-04-14)The conventional tank’s connections make the tanks to be either fully restrained or free for rocking motion, which generally creates a high level of force due to lack of ductility or large displacement demand due to uplift ...
