Evaluating the benefits of rocking shallow foundations
(2024-04-09)Rocking foundations can offer significant benefits both in terms of seismic performance and reduced embodied carbon. This paper applies a displacement-based design procedure to achieve a rocking foundation for a multi-storey ... -
Evaluating the Effect of Initial Gravity Forces in Buckling-Restrained Brace Frame Braces
(2024-04-09)It is common practice to design buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) for seismic forces only, and to neglect any initial gravity that occurs in them. This practice assumes that these gravity loads simply “shed” upon first ... -
Evaluation of a geospatial liquefaction model using land damage data from the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake
(2021-04-14)Earthquake induced liquefaction and lateral spreading can cause major damage to buildings and infrastructure networks. Common procedures to identify exposed areas such as cone penetration testing require extensive resources ... -
Evaluation of assessment approaches for soil-foundation-structure interaction of frame buildings
(2021-04-14)The consideration of soil and foundation deformations within the seismic assessment of buildings can be critical for evaluating the likely load paths and consequent deformations. Frame buildings provide numerous complexities ... -
Evaluation of prioritization schemes for bridge stock assessment
(2023-04-19)The important role of bridges in transportation network resiliency has made the management of the existing bridge stock an essential task. In order to implement and prioritise the activities to secure the proper performance ... -
Evaluation of seismic performance of buildings and infrastructure
(2021-04-14)Observations from the Canterbury and Kaikoura earthquakes are used to illustrate some important factors that often govern the seismic performance of ground, buildings and infrastructure. The talk examines some of the ... -
Evaluation of the ShakeOut earthquake drill and use of protective actions in Aotearoa New Zealand
(2021-04-14)Many earthquake injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand result from people falling or being struck by flying objects during shaking. Since 2012, the ShakeOut earthquake (and now tsunami) drill has aimed to teach the protective ...
