Influence of damping models on nonlinear seismic response of a base isolated building
(2021-04-14)This paper discusses the effect of different damping models on nonlinear seismic response of a 8 storey 2D base isolated (BI) building: (1) Rayleigh damping proportional to the mass and initial stiffness matrices, (2) ... -
Influence of failure mode uncertainty on the collapse capacity of RC components
(2020-04-22)Acceptance criteria for reinforced concrete components are selected based on the assumption that the failure mode of a component is deterministic. This paper makes a case suggesting that such an assumption may be untrue ... -
Influence of ground motion orientation on predicted seismic compression
(2020-04-22)Seismic compression is the accrual of contractive volumetric strain in unsaturated or partially saturated sandy soils during earthquake shaking and has caused significant distress to overlying and nearby structures. The ... -
Influence of remedial ground densification on seismic site amplification
(2023-04-19)While the capability of remedial ground densification techniques to mitigate the adverse effects of liquefaction has been widely investigated in recent decades, the characterization of ground motion amplification in the ... -
Informing Clients on the Business Case for Seismic Resiliency
(2024-04-09)The role of structural engineer has been to ensure life safety of building occupants during a seismic event. In the past, a singular focus on this performance target has resulted in structures that relied on the dissipation ... -
Initial appraisal of building damage in Inangahua

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 ... -
Innovative Resin Injection Ground Improvement to Build Up Seismic Resilience of Existing Water Structures
(2023-04-19)The existing Wellington Water’s Waterloo Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Wellington, New Zealand is an important post-earthquake facility for the Wellington region. The WTP is founded on soils prone to liquefaction and ... -
Innovative Retrofit Solution for Exterior Unreinforced R.C. Beam-Column Joints
(2023-04-19)Most reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings in New Zealand constructed pre-1960s have unreinforced beam-column joints. Following MBIE/NZSEE assessment guidance, the seismic performance of RC frames with unreinforced ... -
Innovative seismic upgrade of Left Bank Art Gallery, Greymouth.
(2021-04-14)The Grey District Council commissioned the strengthening of the C1910 Left Bank Art Galley building in 2018 to preserve its historical value and improve the building’s seismic safety rating. Formally the Bank of New Zealand ... -
Insights into the Response of Multi-Storey Eccentrically Braced Frame Steel Structures to Earthquake Ground Motion
(2024-04-09)Insights were gained from the 2010 Christchurch earthquake series into the performance of eccentrically braced frame (“EBF”) buildings up to around 20 storeys high. An elastic-plastic finite element analysis method using ... -

Integrating Maori Perspectives into Community Resilience Frameworks for the Built Environment
(2022-04-27)Many governments and organisations have attempted to construct frameworks for improving community resilience, particularly as related to the built environment. Many frameworks take a large overview of society and miss the ...
