Assessing the earthquake performance of existing buildings of various material types and configurations in New Zealand
(IOP Publishing, 2019-05)The Initial Evaluation Procedure, conducted as part of Initial Seismic Assessment, is the main topic of this paper. An overview is provided of the eight key steps which define this procedure, and how they are used to ... -
Elasto-plastic behaviour of a rigid timber shear wall with slip-friction connectors
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering (NZSEE), 2014-03)The use of rigid engineered timber panels, such as cross-laminated-timber, in construction is increasing around the world, particularly in Europe and Australasia. Typically the panels rely on nailed or screwed steel plates ... -
An elastoplastic solution for earthquake resistant rigid timber shear walls
(2014-09)In terms of seismic performance, timber structures have been observed to perform well, in spite of timber being an inherently non-ductile material. This is due mainly to the ductility of the steel-to-timber connections, ... -
A low damage and ductile rocking timber wall with passive energy dissipation devices
(Techno-Press, 2015-07)In conventional seismic design, structures are assumed to be fixed at the base. To reduce the impact of earthquake loading, while at the same time providing an economically feasible structure, minor damage is tolerated in ... -
A new shear key for rocking timber shear walls
(Australian Earthquake Engineering Society (AEES), 2013)Allowing shear walls to rock is one way of protecting structures from earthquake damage, or at least minimising this damage. Walls allowed to rock must have the ability to resist both overturning moment, and lateral forces. ... -
A numerical investigation into the behaviour of flexible uplifting structures with slip-friction connectors under earthquake loading
(2013-06)While there has been significant research into the behavior of uplifting (or rocking) rigid structures under seismic loading, far less attention has been paid to the behavior of flexible structures allowed to uplift. ... -
A simple and rapid approach for the numerical simulation of non-linear elements and examples of its application
(IOP Publishing, 2019-05)In earthquake design philosophy non-linear inelastic damage is concentrated at predetermined locations in a structure, with the ultimate aim being to keep structural members critical for collapse avoidance, elastic. ...
