Application of the Geotechnical Step-Change Provisions of the 2017 MBIE Guidelines for the Seismic Assessment of Buildings
Whitehurst, Laura; Palmer, Stuart; Jury, Rob (2021-04-14)The Seismic Assessment of Existing Buildings, Technical Guidelines for Engineering Assessments (“the Guidelines”) provides engineers with a consistent means to assess the seismic behaviour of existing buildings with respect ... -
Assessment of lateral spread potential used smeared strengths of liquefied/non liquefied soils
Peebles, Emily; Palmer, Stuart (2023-04-19)Liquefaction-induced lateral ground displacements (lateral spread) are typically assessed using empirical methods where a continuous weak (liquefied) layer is expected. These methods are not appropriate for variable fill ... -
Dealing with uncertainty in prediction of lateral spread
Smith, Vincent; Palmer, Stuart; Elwood, Kenneth (2022-04-27)Prediction of lateral spread for seismic assessment and design includes considerable uncertainty. Two widely used prediction methods are Youd et al. (2002) and Zhang et al. (2004). Five case studies across the Wellington ... -
Liquefaction induced kinematic loads on piles and inertia loads - literature review and recommendations for design
Rama, Bhavesh; Palmer, Stuart; Chin, Eng Liang (2023-04-19)Earthquake shaking can cause soil liquefaction in certain types of soil. The associated loss of soil strength and stiffness coupled with any lateral ground movement can be damaging to buildings and their foundations. Pile ... -
Mitigation of liquefaction-induced lateral spread ground displacements using an in-ground pile wall
Rolfe, Anthony; Palmer, Stuart (2023-04-19)Liquefaction-induced lateral spread ground displacements can be damaging to buildings and their foundations. Buildings can either be designed/strengthened to tolerate such displacements, or ground improvement (e.g. compaction, ...
