Mitigation of liquefaction induced lateral spread using jet grout shear walls
(2020-04-22)The load transfer mechanism between ground subject to liquefaction induced lateral spreading and jet grout shear walls is complex. The shear walls comprise rows of jet grout columns, constructed in a primary-secondary ... -
Mitigation of liquefaction-induced lateral spread ground displacements using an in-ground pile wall
(2023-04-19)Liquefaction-induced lateral spread ground displacements can be damaging to buildings and their foundations. Buildings can either be designed/strengthened to tolerate such displacements, or ground improvement (e.g. compaction, ... -
“Modal crimes” in structural engineering
(2023-04-19)With increasing seismic hazard as advised by the NSHM 2022 for entire New Zealand, there is a huge demand for the retrofit of existing building stock to achieve higher earthquake resilience. One of the ways to achieve a ... -

Modelling of residential house perimeter foundation beams subjected to ground deformations
(2023-04-19)The 2010-11 Canterbury earthquake sequence is the most damaging and disruptive seismic event to affect New Zealand, resulting in repair costs totalling approximately NZ$40 billion. Liquefaction induced ground deformations ... -
Modelling of vertical control in magnetic levitation for building isolation during earthquakes
(2020-04-22)Earthquakes cause significant damage to buildings due to strong vibration of the ground. Levitating houses using magnets and electromagnets would provide a complete isolation of ground motion for protecting buildings from ... -
Modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of BRBFs
(2022-04-27)The objective of this study is to assess the impact of modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) on their estimated seismic performance. A number of recent studies have ... -
Modelling uncertainty induced by plastic hinge length in lumped-plasticity analysis of RC columns
(2022-04-27)This study quantifies the influence of various plastic hinge length assumptions on the uncertainty in the response of reinforced concrete (RC) columns simulated using lumped plasticity models. Although several expressions ...
