Abstract Seismic design of buildings in New Zealand follows the principles of ductility and capacity design, targeted at life safety as well as avoidance of building collapse in large earthquake events. The inevitable result of ductility is damage to the primary structure, which absorbs the seismic energy during an earthquake. In smaller, more frequent earthquake events, the New Zealand standards recommend limits to building drifts to avoid structural and non-structural damage to building elements. The Canterbury Earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 provided the impetus to construct buildings with more focus on resilience as it became clear that traditional forms of building construction do not always provide the best solution for easy repair and continued operation, with many buildings having to be demolished, causing widespread disruption. An increasing number of new buildings have been constructed in New Zealand utilising different forms of seismically resilient building technologies. This paper presents case studies demonstrating some of the techniques used to provide the building structures with more resilience. Resilient technologies used in the presented case studies include triple friction pendulum bearings, innovative dissipative steel plate connectors, sliding hinge joints, Ringfeder® hold-down springs, U-shaped flexural plates, post-tensioning, and compression- and tension-yielding plug-and-play dissipaters.

新西兰弹性建筑技术实际应用案例研究

摘要 新西兰建筑物的抗震设计遵循延性和容量设计原则，以生命安全和避免大地震中建筑物倒塌为目标。延性的必然结果是破坏主要结构，在地震中吸收地震能量。在较小的、更频繁的地震事件中，新西兰标准建议限制建筑物的漂移，以避免对建筑构件造成结构性和非结构性损坏。2010 年和 2011 年的坎特伯雷地震推动了建造更加注重弹性的建筑物，因为很明显，传统的建筑物建造形式并不总是能够提供易于维修和持续运营的最佳解决方案，许多建筑物不得不拆除，造成广泛的破坏。新西兰利用不同形式的抗震建筑技术建造了越来越多的新建筑。本文介绍了一些案例研究，展示了一些用于为建筑结构提供更大弹性的技术。案例研究中使用的弹性技术包括三重摩擦摆轴承、创新的耗散钢板连接器、滑动铰链接头、Ringfeder® 压紧弹簧、U 形弯曲板、后张法以及压缩和拉伸屈服塞。和播放耗散器。
