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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Three case studies are presented to show how significant ground deformation occurred with the Canterbury earthquake sequence, which in turn resulted in slopes to shallow foundations.  The case studies are all from the ...
