Future developments in performance-based seismic design and related qualification of post-installed anchors in New Zealand
Abstract
Performance-based seismic design of post-installed anchors needs the development of a new framework that can provide tools for designers to anticipate a realistic concrete-anchor system damage in seismic design scenarios relevant for New Zealand. Seismic capacity of anchors is not available for performance-based seismic design from anchor qualification methods considered currently as state-of-the-art. An outlook is provided in this article for the potential first steps in future developments based on a comprehensive assessment of the current state-of-the-art design and qualification approaches, incorporating a novel holistic framework proposed for post-installed anchor seismic performance.
