Impact of base conditions on the bracing performance of LTF walls
(2024-04-09)Residential buildings in NZ are often low-rise light timber-framed (LTF) buildings where LTF walls provide the gravity and lateral load resisting systems. LTF building construction largely follows the prescriptive standard ... -
Impact of Canterbury earthquakes on the evolution of earthquake geotechnical engineering practice
(2021-04-14)Earthquake geotechnical engineering practice has evolved in New Zealand during the past 40 years. The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes provided significant impetus to the research and practice. Early evolution commenced ... -
Impact of seismic demand on construction costs
(2024-04-09)The legally binding earthquake performance requirements in New Zealand's Building Act and Building Code emphasise building collapse prevention, allowing for a certain degree of damage to resist the seismic load. However, ... -
Impacts of ground motion and scaling method selection on the performance of rocking wall systems with friction connections
(2024-04-09)Dynamic time-history analysis has long been regarded as an acceptable and reliable method for seismic design of structures not covered by codal guidelines and often referred to as "alternative" design. Resilient rocking ... -
Impacts of innovation in performance-based building code
(2020-04-22)The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits and the unintended consequences of innovation in performance-based building code with an emphasis in New Zealand building code. Also, this paper examines how innovative ... -
Implications for Design of Parts and Components from Updates to New Zealand Seismic Loading Standard and National Seismic Hazard Model
(2024-04-09)New Zealand engineering practitioners will see revisions to the seismic loading standards for non-structural elements (parts and components) in the draft technical specification TS1170.5. This paper considers the implications ... -
Implimenting the NZSEE Seismic Isolation Guidlines: a practioners view over three new designs
(2020-04-22)The draft seismic isolation guidelines provide a significant step forward in promoting a consistent NZ approach to designing and demonstrating compliance in isolated buildings. This paper provides a practitioners’ point ... -
Improvements to lead-extrusion damper technology

Improvements to state school building design including the implementation of low-damage design criteria
(2021-04-14)The Ministry of Education (the Ministry) owns one of the largest property portfolios in New Zealand, with more than 15,000 buildings spread across nearly 2,100 state schools. Following the 2010 Canterbury earthquake sequence, ... -
Improving earthquake resilience in the Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) using school-based seismometers and connected education programmes
(2021-04-14)Over the past decade several “seismometers in schools” programmes have been developed in Aotearoa New Zealand by a range of organisations, for a variety of reasons and aiming to achieve a range of educational outcomes. ...
