Using 3D geological models to create maps of estimated Vs30 and site period
(2023-04-19)The 30-m time-averaged shear-wave velocity (Vs30) and the fundamental site period (T0) are useful parameters for understanding site conditions, informing geotechnical studies as well as infrastructure planning. Unfortunately, ... -
Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels
(2021-04-14)The conventional tank’s connections make the tanks to be either fully restrained or free for rocking motion, which generally creates a high level of force due to lack of ductility or large displacement demand due to uplift ... -
Using holistic design to improve the seismic performance of non-structural elements and building resilience
(2023-04-19)Non-structural elements typically contribute around 80% of the total cost of a building. Damage to these components as well as works to repair and replace earthquake damaged non-structural elements can mean buildings are ... -
Validation of NZ small-magnitude ground-motion simulations using complex structural systems
(2021-04-14)This study assesses the need to consider complex structural models in ground-motion simulation validation. It develops a novel statistical framework to quantify the proportion of the differences in structural responses ... -

Vs30 Assessments: Understanding the Underground
(2023-04-19)Understanding the vulnerability of a construction site to seismic shaking is fundamental to robust building design in New Zealand. The recent release of the updated National Seismic Hazard Model reflects this, with an ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(2021-04-14)Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ... -
Wāhine tapuhi ō te parawhenua mea kia mataara- Wāhine-led, community-based research on earthquake resilience
(2020-04-22)Despite increasing attention on the importance of earthquake risk reduction for Aotearoa New Zealand communities, there are limited Māori-medium resources available, and more representation of Māori wāhine (women) researchers ...
