On-demand Webinar – Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ)
June 29, 2021 @ 8:30 am - June 30, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
With the increased use of low-damage seismic solutions and the advantages of low-damage seismic solutions to sustainable built environment, the HERA is pleased to present a webinar to share the latest information on the advantages, the recent development, design, modelling, detailing, and in-service use the Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint. The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a low damage, highly seismic resilient, versatile, and cost effective seismic resisting connection developed primarily for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimized version of the traditional Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) with Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs).
Key Aspects to be covered:
- Moment resisting frames (MRFs)
- Improvements in MRFs seismic performance
- Traditional Sliding Hinge Joint (SHJ) with Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs)
- Background and developments
- Seismic behaviour
- Imperfections
- Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ)
- Recent developments and key improvements compared with the traditional SHJ, making OSHJ a true Low damage (no damage) system
- Modelling and seismic loading of the building
- Design actions of the OSHJ beam and column
And much more….

- Engineers who need to know about the latest design and detailing developments.
- Fabricators who need to learn the latest fabrication and construction information.
- Government Authorities keen to learn how OSHJ (a low damage seismic solution) can provide the lowest whole of life cost option, whilst meeting the required design life and reducing health and safety risks
- Insurance Authorities keen to learn about advantages of low damage seismic solutions for building in New Zealand
100 minute on-demand video available to view 29th & 30th June
The webinar will be presented by Auckland University of Technology’s Shahab Ramhormozian who will be joined by University of Auckland’s Charles Clifton for a panel discussion.
Dr. Shahab Ramhormozian | Lecturer at Auckland University of Technology (AUT)
Shahab is a Lecturer at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) teaching, and undertaking and supervising research in the field of structural and earthquake engineering with a focus on steel structures. Shahab has undertaken his PhD under Associate Professor Charles Clifton’s supervision on optimising the Sliding Hinge Joint with Belleville Springs, which has started to be implemented in practice.
Dr Charles Clifton | Associate Professor, University of Auckland
Dr Clifton is an Associate Professor at University of Auckland, specialising in structural steel and composite engineering in both heavy and light gauge steel. Charles has worked with Shahab Ramhormozian in developing the optimised sliding hinge joint to the point where it is now the most cost-effective, best performing and versatile low damage solution available worldwide for moment resisting steel framed seismic resisting systems.
