Damage identification in skeletal structures: A dynamic stiffness approach
(The University of Waikato, 2017)The present work is devoted to investigate ways of identifying cracks in skeletal structures by frequency monitoring. This is a challenging problem as the number of cracks, their severity and location all need to be found. ... -
Numerical and experimental study on non-destructive measuring method of axial load and natural frequency of rails
(The University of Waikato, 2021)The purpose of this study is to investigate a simple, non-destructive method for monitoring the natural frequencies of the railway tracks subjected to the axial loads. In this study, two kinds of methods are used to obtain ... -
Seismic isolation of buildings for vertical earthquake excitations
(The University of Waikato, 2022)This thesis concerns a seismic isolation mechanism for vertical component of earthquake. The vertical component of earthquake can be stronger and more destructive than the horizontal component in near-fault areas, for ... -
The investigation of multi-storied Japanese timber pagodas during earthquake events and the application of non-linear joints within virtual models
(The University of Waikato, 2022)This paper investigates the structural mechanisms contributing to the excellent performance of Japanese pagodas during earthquake events and applies them to modern multi-storeyed timber structure models. Horyu-ji Pagoda ...
