Influence of remedial ground densification on seismic site amplification
(2023-04-19)While the capability of remedial ground densification techniques to mitigate the adverse effects of liquefaction has been widely investigated in recent decades, the characterization of ground motion amplification in the ... -
Informing Clients on the Business Case for Seismic Resiliency
(2024-04-09)The role of structural engineer has been to ensure life safety of building occupants during a seismic event. In the past, a singular focus on this performance target has resulted in structures that relied on the dissipation ... -

Innovative design methodology for secant pile walls
(2024-04-09)Many infrastructure projects in New Zealand require deep excavations in unstable granular, soft or liquefiable soil below the water table. The use of secant piles to form temporary or permanent retaining walls supporting ... -
Innovative Resin Injection Ground Improvement to Build Up Seismic Resilience of Existing Water Structures
(2023-04-19)The existing Wellington Water’s Waterloo Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Wellington, New Zealand is an important post-earthquake facility for the Wellington region. The WTP is founded on soils prone to liquefaction and ... -
Innovative Retrofit Solution for Exterior Unreinforced R.C. Beam-Column Joints
(2023-04-19)Most reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings in New Zealand constructed pre-1960s have unreinforced beam-column joints. Following MBIE/NZSEE assessment guidance, the seismic performance of RC frames with unreinforced ... -
Innovative seismic upgrade of Left Bank Art Gallery, Greymouth.
(2021-04-14)The Grey District Council commissioned the strengthening of the C1910 Left Bank Art Galley building in 2018 to preserve its historical value and improve the building’s seismic safety rating. Formally the Bank of New Zealand ... -
Insights into the Response of Multi-Storey Eccentrically Braced Frame Steel Structures to Earthquake Ground Motion
(2024-04-09)Insights were gained from the 2010 Christchurch earthquake series into the performance of eccentrically braced frame (“EBF”) buildings up to around 20 storeys high. An elastic-plastic finite element analysis method using ... -

Interim Results from empirical ground motion model evaluation for the NZ National Seismic Hazard Model Update
(2022-04-27)As a part of the ongoing 2022 NZ National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) Update, the predictive capabilities of candidate empirical ground motion models are evaluated to ascertain models which provide good prediction for NZ ... -
International alignment and update of the New Zealand earthquake intensity scale
(2023-04-19)The New Zealand Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) scale was last revised in 2008. Even so, the scale's lack of specificity on New Zealand's structures for MMI>8 intensity levels has made it difficult to assign values for ... -
