Enhancing seismic performance of existing buildings using viscous dampers for Forward-Directivity Earthquakes – The Challenges
(2021-04-14)Enhancing the performance of an existing building with viscous dampers for a Wellington site requires thorough consideration of near-fault effects, the Wellington Fault being so close. Earthquake records with forward-directivity ... -
Enhancing seismic performance of structure with different configuration of passive D3 viscous damper
(2021-04-14)For each structure and project, there is a unique desire. Seismic building performance can be increased using dissipation systems like viscous dampers. However, these improvements are offset by the added cost if the total ... -

EQRNet: New Zealand's densest urban seismic monitoring network
(2020-04-22)An ultra-dense urban earthquake monitoring and effects management system is presented. We describe our learnings from the 2016 M 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake and how these motivated us to create a globally unique system of ... -

Establishing the Transverse Load Capacity of a Timber-framed Classroom Block
(2023-04-19)In 2013, longitudinal testing of single storey timber-framed classroom blocks was initiated by the Ministry of Education and completed by BRANZ to better understand the seismic resilience of timber-framed buildings within ... -
Estimates of site periods from mHVSR analysis of IRIS temporary seismograph networks
(2023-04-19)The effects of soil stratigraphy and sedimentary basins on earthquake ground shaking are well-established. These effects can be represented using a range of site metrics, with the focus of this paper being the fundamental ... -
Estimating deformation demands on steel EBF systems
(2020-04-22)The deformation capacity of a steel eccentrically braced frame (EBF) structure is typically governed by the chord rotation capacity of the EBF links. Codes allow these chord rotation demands to be estimated a variety of ... -
Estimation of base isolated structure responses

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 ...
