    • Evaluating the benefits of rocking shallow foundations 

      Millen, Maxim; Storie, Luke (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 ...
    • Optimisation through an Alternative Solution approach to incorporating soil-structure interaction 

      Storie, Luke; Al-Ani, Moustafa; Robinson, James; Bradley, Derek; Van Ballegooy, Sjoerd (2023-04-19)
      The New Zealand Building Code is performance based. However, the most commonly adopted design methods utilise capacity-based Verification Methods such as B1/VM1. Although considerable time and cost is typically associated ...
    • Seismic design of an XblocPlus® revetment using multi-model approach 

      Yohannes, Mikias; Storie, Luke; Taylor, Verity; Adshead, Sam; Shand, Tom; Davies, Brian; Kennedy, Ayse; Burrows, Madeleine (2023-04-19)
      When designing and constructing revetments, there is often a drive to reduce the footprint due to space constraints and a limited supply of suitable rock armour materials. Concrete armour units present a potentially more ...
