Development of A New Self-centring Low-damage Bracing System for Earthquake Resistant Structures Using Resilient Slip Friction Joints (RSFJs)
… would be required. To tackle this issue, the self-centring low-damage structures seem to be remedial and desirable in terms of eliminating the residual drift in buildings. This would be very crucial for the structures with high importance level (IL) because they shall stay operational after a …

Performance of Steel Braced Frame Reinforced with Shape Memory Alloy Wires
… of this research was to design an innovative self-centring system that had the ability to dissipate energy and undergo large deformations that would occur during large earthquake motions. Three frames were designed and tested; one control steel braced frame and two SMA-reinforced steel braced …

Enhancement of the Sliding Hinge Joint Connection with Belleville Springs
… desired criterion is that the MRSF has dynamic self-centring properties so that the post-earthquake residual drift of the building is sufficiently low not to require remedial straightening. Subsequent research under the supervision of Charles Clifton has shown that the post sliding strength and …

Viscosity of simple liquids including measurement and prediction at elevated pressure
A falling body viscometer with self-centring sinkers has been developed and used to measure the viscosities of benzene, carbon tetrachloride and eight halogenated hydrocarbons at pressures up to 500 MN m⁻² in the temperature range 25˚C to 100˚C. Two isotherms of water have also been measured at …

Utilization of coconut fibres and ropes as concrete reinforcement in mortar-free construction with novel interlocking blocks: Considering its application in earthquake resistant housing
… each other during an earthquake, and also have self-centring ability during and after the ground motion. The shear and compressive capacities of the interlocking blocks were experimentally determined. Mortar-free structures using these blocks and rope reinforcement were tested under harmonic and …
