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 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. ... -
Improving Post-Earthquake Emergency Management of Heritage Buildings
(2024-04-09)The emergency response is one of the most thorny and challenging activities for the local and national authorities. It is necessary to act quickly and in an effective manner - any delay or misstep could cost lives and ... -

Improving structural performance of an existing EBF and moment frame structure using fluid viscous dampers
(2024-04-09)Improving the performance of existing buildings is a critical function for engineers and one of the most impactful ways we can improve the sustainability of buildings. By re-using and upgrading existing building stock, we ... -
Improving the Post-Earthquake Response of Hospitals: The Implementation of Priority Response Agreements
(2024-04-09)It is vital that decisions on which hospital buildings can continue to be used following damaging earthquakes are made quickly. A key component of the decision-making process is timely input from experienced engineers ... -

Incorporating the influence of duration on dynamic deformation capacity in seismic assessment
(2021-04-14)The dynamic deformation capacity of a structure is the peak storey drift ratio it can safely withstand without collapsing due to dynamic instability. In a previous study, the authors developed a robust procedure to compute ...
