Study on floor-slab out-of-plane effect of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
In 2019, a system-level shake-table test of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building was conducted using the multi-functional shake-table array at Tongji University as part of an international collaborative project ...
Repair and Reinstatement of Douglas-fir CLT Hold-down Connections using Mixed Angle Self Tapping Screws
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The system ductility of timber structures under seismic loads relies on well detailed connection systems. With the increasing popularity of mass timber structures, CLT shear walls provide an efficient seismic load resisting ...
Seismic Isolation of bridges: Case Studies
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Seismic isolation is one of the most effective means of earthquake hazard mitigation. Seismic isolation bearings are typically placed in a bridge between the substructure and superstructure and physically decouple the ...
Shake Table Tests of a Six-Span Steel Bridge Model for Nonlinerality Identification
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Most of real structures exhibit nonlinear behaviour during their lifetime. Nonlinear behaviour of a structure can be as a result of a local effect (friction in joints, joint and link flexibility, and nonlinear contact) or ...
Liquefaction potential of sand-gravel mixtures: experimental observations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Case histories from at least 27 earthquakes worldwide (including three from New Zealand: 1929 Mw7.6 Murchison earthquake; 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield earthquake; and 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake) have indicated that liquefaction ...
Modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of BRBFs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) on their estimated seismic performance. A number of recent studies have ...
