Meet EDDIE – QuakeCoRE’s new earthquake test dummy
(2023-04-19)Until recently there has been limited understanding of the relationship between behaviour during earthquake shaking and risk of injury. Studying human behaviour during shaking is important, however, because with a better ... -
Method for the explicit consideration of ground motion duration in NZS 1170.5
(2023-04-19)Recent studies have demonstrated that longer earthquake ground motion duration can reduce structural deformation capacity and increase collapse risk. This study introduces a method to explicitly account for such effects ... -

Mitigation of liquefaction induced lateral spread using jet grout shear walls
(2020-04-22)The load transfer mechanism between ground subject to liquefaction induced lateral spreading and jet grout shear walls is complex. The shear walls comprise rows of jet grout columns, constructed in a primary-secondary ... -
Mitigation of liquefaction-induced lateral spread ground displacements using an in-ground pile wall
(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, ... -
“Modal crimes” in structural engineering
(2023-04-19)With increasing seismic hazard as advised by the NSHM 2022 for entire New Zealand, there is a huge demand for the retrofit of existing building stock to achieve higher earthquake resilience. One of the ways to achieve a ... -

Modelling of residential house perimeter foundation beams subjected to ground deformations
(2023-04-19)The 2010-11 Canterbury earthquake sequence is the most damaging and disruptive seismic event to affect New Zealand, resulting in repair costs totalling approximately NZ$40 billion. Liquefaction induced ground deformations ...
