    • Application of Low Damage Tension Braces in Top Extensions of Existing Buildings: A Case Study for Seismic Upgrade 

      Hashemi, Ashkan; Sayadi, Ali; Prionas, Ioannis; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenenville, Pierre (2024-04-09)
      Tension-only braces are generally used as diagonal cross members (rods, flat bars or similar) to resist lateral loads. The application of these braces has been limited to low-rise buildings (generally up to two stories) ...

    • Experimental Testing of Brittle RC frames Strengthened by RSFJ-toggle bracing system 

      Veismoradi, Sajad; Watson, Tom; Baylis, Alex; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2024-04-09)
      This paper investigates the performance of the new retrofitting system, consisting of self-centering damper resilient slip friction joint (RSFJ)-toggle bracing system, as a global retrofitting method for deficient RC frame ...

    • Shake-Table Testing of the Resilient Slip Friction Joints 

      Assadi, Soheil; Bagheri, Hamed; Yan, Zhenduo; Zarnani, Pouyan; Hashemi, Ashkan; MacCrae, Greg; Clifton, Charles; Jia, Liang-Jiu; Quenneville, Pierre (2024-04-09)
      A consortium of university researchers (UoA, AUT and UC) from New Zealand and Tongji University have undertaken shake-table tests of various friction damping devices. This testing program is under the banner of the ROBUST ...
