    • Chevron Buckling Restrained Brace Frame Seismic Behaviour Considering Out-of-Plane Effects 

      Simpson, Toby; Donald, Andre; MacRae, Gregory (2023-04-19)
      This project evaluates the behaviour of buckling restrained braces (BRBs) in a chevron configuration considering IP and OOP frame deformations using software capable of second-order inelastic frame analysis. Initially a ...

    • Design Considerations for Buckling Restrained Braces in Timber Frames Subject to Out of Plane Deformations 

      Dorrance, William; Huang, Matthew; MacRae, Gregory; Bashiri, Mehdi; Li, Minghao (2023-04-19)
      The introduction of using steel buckling restrained braces (BRBs) has proven to greatly improve the in-plane seismic performance of timber structures. However, little is understood about the performance of BRBs subject to ...

    • Developing Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand's construction sector 

      Andisheh, Kaveh; Karpenko, Michail; MacRae, Gregory; Chang-Richards, Alice; Clifton, Charles; Moaveni, Babak; Eftekhar Azam, Saeed; Heinzel, Holger (2023-04-19)
      Aotearoa’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019 and it became the fourth largest workplace in the year ended June 2021, significantly contributing to New Zealand’s economy. However, it has long been ...

    • Multistage Friction Connections 

      Chanchi Golondrino, Jose Christian; MacRae, Gregory; Coral Potosi, Hugo Anderson (2023-04-19)
      Multistage friction connections (MFCs) are bolted connections for dissipating seismic energy while reducing peak displacements and encouraging recentring. MFCs comprise two symmetric friction connections co-linearly ...

    • Review and suggestions on timber buildings with hybrid lateral force resisting systems 

      Gedyma, Mikhail; Lee, Chin-Long; MacRae, Gregory; Lim, Hyungsuk (Thomas); Liu, Angela; Li, Minghao (2023-04-19)
      Timber-framed structures have long been the default structural form for residential construction in many countries, including New Zealand. However, for some complex low-rise and mid-rise buildings, hybrid Lateral Force ...
