Developments in the use of high resolution point cloud data to inform heritage restoration
(2021-04-14)While considered an emerging technology at the time of the Canterbury Earthquakes, extensive use of laser scanning derived point cloud data over the last 10 years has resulted in refined processes with new and existing ... -
Enhancing seismic performance of existing buildings using viscous dampers for Forward-Directivity Earthquakes – The Challenges
(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 ... -
Full Waveform Tomography for the upper South Island region, New Zealand
(2021-04-14)In this paper, we apply Full Waveform Tomography (FWT) based on the Adjoint-Wavefield (AW) method to iteratively invert an existing 3-D geophysical velocity model for the upper South Island region, New Zealand. Through the ... -
Monitoring technologies to manage landslide risk to transportation routes in the Lower North Island
(2022-04-27)There is significant uncertainty in predicting the behaviour of slopes due to natural processes and events. The inherent variability in rock and soil make the use of precedent behavior a much more attractive tool. However, ... -
Parallel scalability of OpenSees for 2D and 3D ground response analysis problems
(2021-04-14)This study investigates the parallel scalability of the OpenSees finite element analysis platform in the context of 2D and 3D ground response analyses. A series of 2D and 3D models ranging from 7500 to 480000 elements are ... -
Rapid, automated, post-earthquake building assessment using a swarm of drones and machine learning techniques
(2021-04-14)Completing safety evaluations of buildings is critical for the health and safety of a city’s community following a damaging earthquake. Most contemporary post-earthquake evaluations involve groups of people who physically ... -
Source of numerical non-convergence in the analysis of bilinear SDOF systems
(2023-04-19)Numerical non-convergence is an important factor impeding the research into and widespread adoption of the nonlinear dynamic analysis. Upon encountering non-convergence at an analysis time step when using an implicit time ...
