    • Application of the Geotechnical Step-Change Provisions of the 2017 MBIE Guidelines for the Seismic Assessment of Buildings 

      Whitehurst, Laura; Palmer, Stuart; Jury, Rob (2021-04-14)
      The Seismic Assessment of Existing Buildings, Technical Guidelines for Engineering Assessments (“the Guidelines”) provides engineers with a consistent means to assess the seismic behaviour of existing buildings with respect ...

    • Code Based Design vs. Performance Based Design 

      M. Puthanpurayil, Arun; Jury, Rob; D. Hooper, John; Carr, Athol (2024-04-09)
      Modern day design codes are the result of six decades of seismic engineering developments most of which have been focused on elastic modal methods. Modal methods are strictly not applicable to inelastic systems and hence ...

    • Designing for Uncertainty 

      Jury, Rob (2021-04-14)
      Structural engineers are familiar with seismic design using a compliance pathway. This typically requires ensuring the provided capacity of structures, expressed as a single value, exceeds the seismic demand, also expressed ...

    • Enhancing seismic performance of existing buildings using viscous dampers for Forward-Directivity Earthquakes – The Challenges 

      Puthanpurayil, Arun; Sharpe, Richard; Jury, Rob; Carr, Athol; Murahidy, Alex (2021-04-14)
      Enhancing the performance of an existing building with viscous dampers for a Wellington site requires thorough consideration of near-fault effects, the Wellington Fault being so close. Earthquake records with forward-directivity ...

    • “Modal crimes” in structural engineering 

      Carr, Athol; J. Carr, Athol; Sharpe, Richard; Jury, Rob (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 ...

    • Site-specific seismic hazard analysis - evolving developments in practice 

      Orchard, Stuart; Taylor, Merrick; Jury, Rob; Berryman, Kelvin (2023-04-19)
      Site-specific hazard analyses (SSHAs) are undertaken to inform seismic actions for the design of important projects in New Zealand. These have typically adopted the 2010 National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) as the reference ...
