Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(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 ... -
Upper and lower bound force capacity estimates of lead extrusion damper design force using classical extrusion models
(2021-04-14)To reduce seismic vulnerability and the economic impact of seismic structural damage, it is important to protect structures using supplemental energy dissipation devices. High force to volume (HF2V) devices are supplemental ... -
Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels
(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 ... -
Validation of NZ small-magnitude ground-motion simulations using complex structural systems
(2021-04-14)This study assesses the need to consider complex structural models in ground-motion simulation validation. It develops a novel statistical framework to quantify the proportion of the differences in structural responses ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(2021-04-14)Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ... -
Wellington basin amplification: research goals and update from the National Seismic Hazard Model Programme
(2021-04-14)In Wellington, 3D basin amplification effects observed at 1 – 2 second spectral periods were identified as one factor likely to have exacerbated damage to mid-rise structures during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ... -
Wellington Building Inventory: Rapid Earthquake Response Framework
(2021-04-14)This paper is focused on the design and implementation of a functional tool to evaluate and communicate the seismic risk to increase resilience and reduce human and economic loss. Wellington has been selected as the case ...
