Validation of NZ small-magnitude ground-motion simulations using complex structural systems
(2021-04-14)This study assesses the need to consider complex structural models in ground-motion simulation validation. It develops a novel statistical framework to quantify the proportion of the differences in structural responses ... -

Vs30 Assessments: Understanding the Underground
(2023-04-19)Understanding the vulnerability of a construction site to seismic shaking is fundamental to robust building design in New Zealand. The recent release of the updated National Seismic Hazard Model reflects this, with an ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(2021-04-14)Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ... -
Wāhine tapuhi ō te parawhenua mea kia mataara- Wāhine-led, community-based research on earthquake resilience
(2020-04-22)Despite increasing attention on the importance of earthquake risk reduction for Aotearoa New Zealand communities, there are limited Māori-medium resources available, and more representation of Māori wāhine (women) researchers ... -
Wellington basin amplification: research goals and update from the National Seismic Hazard Model Programme
(2021-04-14)In Wellington, 3D basin amplification effects observed at 1 – 2 second spectral periods were identified as one factor likely to have exacerbated damage to mid-rise structures during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ... -
Wellington Building Inventory: Rapid Earthquake Response Framework
(2021-04-14)This paper is focused on the design and implementation of a functional tool to evaluate and communicate the seismic risk to increase resilience and reduce human and economic loss. Wellington has been selected as the case ... -

Wellington Children’s Hospital - a different approach to a seismic restraint project
(2023-04-19)The seismic restraint design for non-structural elements in the new, Importance Level 3, Wellington Childrens Hospital building utilised a considered and efficient design approach that minimise the number of seismic ... -
Wellington region land transport resilience business case
(2022-04-27)The high seismicity, rugged terrain and an increasingly adverse climate exacerbated by climate change mean that the capital city Wellington’s transport system has severe deficiencies in its resilience to natural and ... -
Wellington's sedimentary basin and its role in amplifying earthquake ground motions: new CBD 3D model and maps
(2020-04-22)During the Mw7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, ground motions in central Wellington were clearly influenced by both the nature of the earthquake source and local amplification effects due to the sedimentary basin. These effects ...
