    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • The ROBUST Steel Building Response 

      MacRae, Gregory; JIA, Liang-Jiu; Yan, Zhenduo; Clifton, Charles; Ramhormozian, Shahab; Dhakal, Rajesh; Xiang, Ping; Rodgers, Geoff; Quenneville, Pierre; Zhao, Xianzhong (2024-04-09)
      The ROBUST test programme describes the full-scale shaking table testing of nine different steel frame building configurations on the Tongji University shaking tables. Energy dissipation occurs by means of friction devices ...
