Advances in Floor Diaphragm In-Plane Modelling Using Truss Elements
Alizadeh, Saeid; MacRae, Gregory; Bull, Des; Clifton, Charles (2021-04-14)Different methods to model building floor diaphragm in-plane stiffness with truss elements are compared to identify the method most suitable for analysis in design. The methods considered include (i) Elastic truss, (ii) ... -
Determining the realistic rotational stiffness of column base connections in steel seismic resisting systems
He, Jin Chang Winston; Clifton, Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab (2021-04-14)The New Zealand Steel Structures Standard, NZS 3404, provides an upper and lower rotational stiffness boundary for fixed and pinned column base connections for structural analysis, respectively. These boundaries aim to ... -
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ): Design, Detail, and Implementation in Practice
Ramhormozian, Shahab; Clifton, Charles; Gledhill, Sean; Muller, Maximo (2021-04-14)The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a low-damage, resilient, versatile, and cost effective seismic resisting system developed primarily for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimized ... -
