- Description
- The skew angle of a bridge is an important boundary condition that affects its behaviour under seismic loading. Although some research has been carried out to identify these effects, such investigations for the most part remain analytical with a few instances including experimental testing. In an effort to understand the effects of skew on the seismic behaviour of bridges, a number of shake table tests have been performed on a skew and a non-skew bridge model and the results have been compared. These smallscale models are representative of two-bay short-span concrete bridges and consist of
precast deck and pier elements which have been assembled using threaded bars. The results of the tests show that although the amount of deck rotation is not higher in the skew deck, this rotation is non-symmetric and may lead to unseating of the deck. It is also discussed that the results of these tests can be used in the design of ‘controlled rocking’ connections in precast bridge structures.

- Low damage non-structural drywalls: Details and their performance

- Keywords: non-structural drywalls
- Description
- Non-structural drywall partitions are the most common partitions used in buildings. They are usually bounded by a either a structural frame or by two floor slabs, which makes them prone to damage by imposed inter-storey deformations. Usually the loss of serviceability occurs at very low drift levels. As part of a research investigation into the development of low damage solutions for non-structural walls, experimental and numerical studies were carried out. This paper will present the seismic performances of existing as built drywall practice and the proposed low damage drywall solution. The developed low damage solution for drywall partitions, capable of reaching high level of drift without loss of serviceability, was developed based on the refinements of existing (as built) drywall construction practice. The experimental campaign confirmed the enhanced performance of the proposed low damage solution for non-structural drywalls, based on simple reconfiguration and detailing of the traditional solutions adopted in the current practice.
