Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Modular Mass Timber Structures with Inter-Story Isolation.
(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, ... -
Seismic Ratcheting Considerations
(2024-04-09)This paper describes recent research conducted to understand the effects of structural characteristics on the seismic response of single storey structures with a ratcheting tendency. The ratcheting tendency was characterised ... -
Seismic resilient structures using pre-cast pre-stressed concrete panels for modular construction
(2024-04-09)Earthquake resiliency combined with sustainability can be achieved through state of the art technology and construction methods. In this paper, a new construction methodology is proposed for resilient and sustainable ... -
Seismic response of frames with building cladding elements
(2024-04-09)This paper presents the concept, methodology and findings of the analysis of frames with building cladding elements exposed to seismic events. Inelastic nonlinear push-pull analyses, and hand analyses, are conducted to ... -
Seismic Resurrection of 13-storey Apartment Building at 66 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch
(2024-04-09)This precast concrete apartment building at 66 Oxford Terrace was completed in 2005 and has considerable architectural merit. The Engineers employed by the Body Corporate post the CES of 2010 / 2011 discovered that the ... -
Shake-table test of flexural RC beams subjected to different levels of repair
(2024-04-09)Typically, damaged reinforced concrete (RC) building components are fully repaired to achieve the highest performance recovery. However, this repair objective may not necessarily be essential to achieve building performance ... -
Shake-Table Testing of the Resilient Slip Friction Joints
(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 ... -
Simple Three-layer Pagoda Analysis
(2024-04-09)This paper describes the construction of a simplified three-storey pagoda and its behaviour. The following are developed: (i) a 1/20 scale 3-D printed overall structure model, (ii) a 1/10 scale 3-D printed model of one ... -
Standardised timber moment-resisting frames for multistorey buildings
(2024-04-09)The paper presents preliminary findings from an extensive experimental testing campaign (Project Skyscraper) performed on full-scale moment-resisting timber frames intended for application in multistorey buildings. The ... -
Te Living Pā: Kaitiakitanga; Whanaungatanga; Akoranga
(2024-04-09)The Living Pā is a 3-storey mass timber building currently being constructed for Te Herenga Waka Victoria University at their Kelburn Campus. Full Living Building Challenge certification is a central goal for the project. ... -
Testing the cyclic strain softening behaviour of an ageing puddled clay core dam
(2024-04-09)Seismic resilience of the 150-year-old Ross Creek puddled clay core water supply dam in Dunedin has recently been enhanced through a programme of refurbishment. The very low permeability moderately plastic soils comprising ... -
The ROBUST Steel Building Response
(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 ... -
Turnbull Library: Strengthening for Heritage and Resilience
(2024-04-09)Turnbull House is a Category 1 Heritage building on Bowen Street in Wellington. It was built in the 1910s as a residence and library, primarily from unreinforced masonry. Although some strengthening was carried out in the ...
