Interim Results from empirical ground motion model evaluation for the NZ National Seismic Hazard Model Update
(2022-04-27)As a part of the ongoing 2022 NZ National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) Update, the predictive capabilities of candidate empirical ground motion models are evaluated to ascertain models which provide good prediction for NZ ... -
International alignment and update of the New Zealand earthquake intensity scale
(2023-04-19)The New Zealand Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) scale was last revised in 2008. Even so, the scale's lack of specificity on New Zealand's structures for MMI>8 intensity levels has made it difficult to assign values for ... -

Introducing a low damage system incorporating rocking braced frame and resilient slip friction joint as a shear key
(2020-04-22)In this paper, to achieve a self-centring damage avoidance rocking framed system, RSFJ has been employed as a shear link between braced frame and its boundary columns. Such a system could be used for a single or coupled ... -

Investigating CLT Lateral Load Resisting Systems for Taller Timber Buildings
(2021-04-14)Recent taller timber buildings worldwide have often utilized hybrid systems of mixed materials and have been built in regions of low seismicity. Designers often adopt the hybrid material solution of utilizing mass timber ... -
Investigating the effect of stiffness on the seismic performance of RC structures
(2023-04-19)This study investigates the correlation between stiffness and the seismic performance of RC structures. Structural performance was compared for buildings affected by four different earthquakes, Tokachi-Oki (1968), Chile ... -
Investigating the impact of design criteria on the expected seismic losses of an office building
(2021-04-14)Low Damage Seismic Design (LDSD) guidance material being developed by Engineering NZ is considering a design drift limit for multi-storey buildings of 0.5% at a new damage control limit state (DCLS). The impact of this new ... -
Investigating the interaction between rocking amplitude and ground motion characteristics via artificial neural networks
(2024-04-09)Unreinforced masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to out-of-plane seismic loading. During an earthquake, masonry walls behave as rigid bodies undergoing rocking motion. Thus, from a dynamics perspective, their ... -
Investigation of influential factors on yield strength of lead rubber bearings
(2022-04-27)The design of seismic isolators as specified by building code requirements is well defined and well established. However, there is still some refinement required for these design practices, especially in terms of estimating ... -
Investigation of the Plastic Drift Capacity of RC Frames with Beam-Column Joint Failure
(2021-04-14)MBIE/NZSEE guidelines have various methods to assess existing buildings, of which Displacement Based Assessment (DBA) is one. This paper reports on the application of DBA to reinforced concrete (RC) frames where beam-column ...
