Post-earthquake functional recovery: A critical review
(2022-04-27)Functional recovery not only transforms the retrofit of damaged buildings from an earthquake event but also contributes to community resilience. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art literature review of functional ... -
Residential Building Repair Cost and Claim Settlement Time from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence
(2021-04-14)This study analyses the Earthquake Commission’s (EQC) insurance claims database to investigate the influence of seismic intensity and property damage resulting from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) on the repair ... -
Risk-Targeted Hazard Spectra for Seismic Design in New Zealand
(2021-04-14)The promotion of risk-targeted hazard spectra as the basis of seismic design internationally has increased over the past decade. Risk-targeted hazard spectra are derived through convolution of hazard curves with representative ... -
Seaview Wharf: risk-based thinking underpins the future
(2021-04-14)Wellington’s Seaview Wharf is a critical asset in the Lower North Island fuel supply system, including after significant seismic events. Recent annual fuel supply for the region has exceeded 1 Million tonnes, and there is ... -
Seismic strengthening of the Seatoun Tunnel
(2022-04-27)The Seatoun tunnel is a 147m long, vehicle and pedestrian tunnel built in 1906-1907 to provide a tram connection between the suburb of Seatoun the city of Wellington. In 2011, the Seatoun tunnel structure was assessed as ... -
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(2021-04-14)Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ... -
Social Influences on behavioural response to earthquake shaking
(2022-04-27)Many earthquake injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand occur because people either do not act quickly to protect themselves or act in a way which can lead to harm. Earthquakes are an uncertain context in which to make behavioural ... -
Source modelling insights from ground motion simulation validation of moderate magnitude active shallow crustal earthquakes in New Zealand
(2021-04-14)Hybrid broadband ground motion simulation validation has been an ongoing effort in NZ with recent studies focussed on active shallow crustal earthquakes of large magnitude (Mw>7.0) and small magnitude (3.5<Mw≤5.0). Lessons ... -
The 2022 New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model Revision
(2021-04-14)We are embarking on the most significant revision of the NSHM in more than 20 years. An international team of more than 50 scientists is contributing to two working groups: 1) Seismicity Rate Models (SRM); and 2) Ground ... -
The national seismic hazard model for New Zealand: Contributions from the deep south
(2021-04-14)The New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) is being updated for the first time since 2010 in a multi-institutional project led by GNS Science (www.gns.cri.nz/NSHM). In the interim, several major well-instrumented ... -
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 ... -
Wellington basin amplification: research goals and update from the National Seismic Hazard Model Programme
(2021-04-14)In Wellington, 3D basin amplification effects observed at 1 – 2 second spectral periods were identified as one factor likely to have exacerbated damage to mid-rise structures during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ... -
Wellington Building Inventory: Rapid Earthquake Response Framework
(2021-04-14)This paper is focused on the design and implementation of a functional tool to evaluate and communicate the seismic risk to increase resilience and reduce human and economic loss. Wellington has been selected as the case ...
