Geotechnical challenges and design solutions for Yarrow Stadium redevelopment
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
New Plymouth Yarrow Stadium’s two grandstands were declared earthquake-prone and closed in 2017-2018. The $50m repair and refurbishment project was approved in 2019 and subsequently reviewed and modified to allow for the ...
Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ...
A preliminary investigation of validity of conventional single-mode pushover analysis in multi-mode systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Pushover analysis is a simplified inelastic analysis approach where a structure is subjected to increasing increments of monotonic imposed force or displacements to estimate the inelastic deformations in the structural ...
Seismic response of a base-isolated building under pulse-like near-fault ground motions
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Pulse-Like Near-fault ground motions are known to challenge base-isolated buildings with their capacity to create large isolation system displacements. Such earthquake records typically contain velocity pulses with long ...
Risk-targeted framework for seismic design: Maintaining serviceability
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Changes to how seismic loads are determined for building design are imminent, as necessitated by the ongoing National Seismic Hazard Model update. The authors recently proposed a framework to produce risk-targeted hazard ...
A bespoke analytical methodology for seismic safety assessment of spillway gates: case study of Waipapa dam spillway on the Waikato River
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
This paper presents a seismic assessment methodology tailor-made for the Waipapa Dam Spillway gates on the Waikato River which were found to have potential dam safety issues under the 1 in 2500-year annual exceedance ...
Seismic structural monitoring in Wellington using advanced seismological techniques
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Sklodowska et al. (2021) employed advanced seismological techniques usually applied to Earth studies to the Te Puni building (instrumented as part of the GeoNet building instrumentation programme) for the 2009-2017 ...
