Monitoring of lateral stiffness changes for a real building using hysteresis loop analysis
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The BNZ building in Wellington, New Zealand was significantly damaged, and eventually demolished, due to the cumulative impact of three main earthquakes between 2013 and 2016. Although the building was equipped with a set ...
Upper and lower bound force capacity estimates of lead extrusion damper design force using classical extrusion models
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Performance Comparison of Buckling-Restrained Braces and Friction Dampers Adopted for Retrofit of an Existing RC Frame Building Using Performance-Based Retrofit Procedure
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
This paper presents a performance-based retrofit approach for designing and performance comparison of Buckling -Restrained Braces (BRBs) and Friction Dampers as retrofit strategies for RC frame buildings. An overview of ...
