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) ... -
Impacts of ground motion and scaling method selection on the performance of rocking wall systems with friction connections
Assadi, Soheil; Chan, Nicholas; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre (2024-04-09)Dynamic time-history analysis has long been regarded as an acceptable and reliable method for seismic design of structures not covered by codal guidelines and often referred to as "alternative" design. Resilient rocking ... -
Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Modular Mass Timber Structures with Inter-Story Isolation.
Lal, Rajnil; Hashemi, Ashkan; Quenneville, Pierre (2024-04-09)Prefabricated Modular Mass Timber (MMT) construction provides an alternative to traditional on-site light timber construction. MMT buildings comprise of prefabricated volumetric modules assembled on-site to form a larger, ... -
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 ...
