Hazard-consistent collapse risk assessment of steel moment frame buildings in Wellington
(2021-04-14)This study evaluates the seismic collapse risk of two modern ductile steel moment frame buildings designed as per the NZS 1170.5 seismic design standard. A four and twelve storey steel moment frame buildings located in ... -
Heritage Buildings and Community Sense of Place: Towards Addressing the Challenge of Earthquake Prone Heritage Buildings
(2024-04-09)New Zealand is a nation that has a significant amount of built heritage, of which there are several internationally recognised landmarks, including the Christchurch Cathedral, the Church of the Good Shepherd, and the Chateau ... -
High capacity glued-in rod connections in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures
(2023-04-19)Glued-in rods are efficient and high-capacity connections for achieving high-strength connections in new timber structures and reinforcing existing timber buildings. With the emergence of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and ... -

How effective is a composting toilet system for protecting human health in an emergency context?
(2021-04-14)The Wellington Region is highly vulnerable to large earthquakes as it is crossed by active faults. Expected timeframes of 1 to 2 years for the re-establishment of networked wastewater management services provide urgency ... -
How practitioners can work together to achieve better seismic performance outcomes for buildings and infrastructure
(2021-04-14)A key recommendation from the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission was that there should be “greater cooperation and dialogue between geotechnical and structural engineers” to help improve the seismic performance of ... -
How to assemble elemental damping?
(2023-04-19)An elemental damping model has recently been proposed as an alternative to the Rayleigh damping model to avoid spurious damping forces during inelastic seismic response. It has shown great potential because it has the ... -
How would changes to serviceability limit state design criteria impact likely repair costs?
(2020-04-22)The earthquake engineering community is currently grappling with the need to improve the post-earthquake reparability of buildings. As part of this, proposals exist to change design criteria for the serviceability limit ... -
