Earthquake Protection of Residential Buildings: New Resilient System for Light Timber Framing
Zarnani, Pouyan; Chan, Nicholas; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre (2023-04-19)In NZ, similar to other countries, residential houses are mostly constructed using light timber framing. The common seismic solutions available in the market for such low-rise buildings are based on yielding of sacrificial ... -
Effect of serviceability and over-strength mechanism on seismic response of low damage structures
Hashemi, Ashkan (2023-04-19)Low-damage structural systems are designed in a way the earthquake damage is controlled and localised in pre-designated locations and components (e.g. fuses). These components are normally replaced, repaired or designed ... -
Effect of uncertainties in collapse assessment of coupled CLT walls with energy dissipators as couplers and resilient hold-downs
Agarwal, Setu Raman; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre (2023-04-19)Rocking coupled CLT walls with energy dissipaters as couplers provide increased stiffness and damping, enabling the design realisation of taller CLT structures. Researchers have proposed design methods and conducted ... -
Feasibility of capacity spectrum method for analysis of low damage structural systems with friction connections
Hashemi, Ashkan; Assadi, Soheil; Agarwal, Setu; Quenenville, Pierre (2023-04-19)The use of friction connections for low damage design of new structures has been increasing over the past few years. These connectors have a high energy dissipation ratio and are relatively economical to fabricate and ... -
High capacity glued-in rod connections in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures
Shirmohammadli, Youness; Hashemi, Ashkan; Masoudnia, Reza; Quenneville, Pierre (2023-04-19)Glued-in rods are efficient and high-capacity connections for achieving high-strength connections in new timber structures and reinforcing existing timber buildings. With the emergence of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and ... -
Lincoln University Waimarie building: An application of friction damping devices with recentring for low damage design
Hashemi, Ashkan; Wallington, Chris; Govind, Samir; Whittaker, David; Quenneville, Pierre (2023-04-19)The experience from Christchurch and Kaikoura seismic events demonstrated well that the ‘life safety’ criteria is not sufficient to protect the community from earthquake impact. Currently, the community expects more measures ... -
Low Damage Wall To Floor Connections For Seismic Resilient Timber Structures
Assadi, Soheil; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre (2023-04-19)Rocking timber walls provide superior seismic performance in comparison with conventional light timber structures. Nevertheless, there is an uplift movement at the base of the wall that is translated as vertical displacement ...
