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 ... -
Examples of ground improvement applications for earthquake design
(2023-04-19)The ground improvement applications and examples in this paper are planned to augment MBIE Module 5. This paper presents some ground improvement applications and their design and specification for earthquake hazard mitigation. ... -
Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces
(2022-04-27)As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ... -
Experimental and Analytical Study of Fillet Welds for Seismic Actions
(2024-04-09)New Zealand steel standards NZS3404 uses a simplified method to predict the weld design capacity and to size the weld. According to the industry feedback on the design and manufacturing of the seismic welded connections, ...
