Applicability of existing CPT-Vs correlations to direct-push crosshole and cone penetration test data for shallow Holocene-aged New Zealand soil deposits
(2024-04-09)A number of empirical correlations have been proposed to estimate shear wave velocity (Vs) using cone penetration test (CPT) data as a result of the growing availability of global databases. The performance of four existing ... -
Challenges associated with geotechnical design of Te Kaha – Canterbury’s Multi-Use Arena
(2024-04-09)Te Kaha is a new 36,000-seat permanently covered multi-use arena in Christchurch and is the final anchor project in the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan, following the Canterbury earthquake sequence of 2010-2011. The ... -
Evaluating the benefits of rocking shallow foundations
(2024-04-09)Rocking foundations can offer significant benefits both in terms of seismic performance and reduced embodied carbon. This paper applies a displacement-based design procedure to achieve a rocking foundation for a multi-storey ... -
Geotechnical design for severe liquefiable ground improvement with SCRR technique: Waikato case study
(2024-04-09)This paper introduces an innovative earthquake geotechnical design approach for severe liquefiable ground, adopting ground improvement using the patented Subsurface Compacted Rubble Raft (SCRR) technology in a Waikato ... -
Geotechnical design of a secant piled underground pump station in liquefiable ground
(2024-04-09)The geotechnical design of underground structures with a high importance level, in a dense urban area, in liquefiable ground, and adjacent to existing structures that are sensitive to settlement is challenging because ... -
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 ... -
Liquefaction-Induced Parabolic Subsidence Method for analysis of shallow foundations
(2024-04-09)In New Zealand, the document “Repairing and Rebuilding Houses Affected by the Canterbury Earthquakes" issued by the MBIE, has been widely embraced by consulting engineers and local authorities as a reference for building ... -
SESOC Retaining Wall Design Guide - Methodology and Validation
(2024-04-09)Some years in development, the SESOC Cantilever Timber Pole Retaining Wall Design Guide has been prepared in response to the need for a comprehensive, coherent design basis, albeit for low rise, cantilever, walls. Though ... -
Soil structure interaction in laterally displacing ground
(2024-04-09)Design or assessment of structures founded on ground with a potential for seismic induced ground displacements requires careful consideration of the associated soil structure interaction (SSI). These seismic ground ...
