Introduction: types of disasters
Earthquake
Earthquake in New Zealand
- seismic assessment of existing buildings
- effects of earthquake on existing buildings
- damage pinched hysteretic behavior of mails
- backbone curve of fastener through wood
- hysteric behavior modelled by single link element
- elements are implemented in walls
- good match between numerical and experimental
- energy dissipation comparison
- the behavior of a wall wlth many links can be captured by a single link
Christchurch, Feb, 2011
Christchurch: numerical comparison between actual and design level (previous) events, single storey wall
Other applications: combined with passive energy friction dissipaters modelled numerically
Earthquake – San Fernando
