Enhancing earthquake and tsunami preparedness and response in Kura Kaupapa Māori/Schools Aotearoa New Zealand: learnings from the 5 March 2021 East Cape earthquake sequence
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Aotearoa New Zealand is exposed to numerous potentially damaging impacts from various hazard events. The east coast of the North Island, one of the most active seismic regions in New Zealand, faces significant earthquake ...
Prediction of Demands on Non-Structural Components in Base-Isolated Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
This study examines seismic demands imposed on non-structural components within base isolated structures. Although several previous studies have focussed on the ability of base isolators to limit structural damage, very ...
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 ...
Post-earthquake functional recovery: A critical review
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Social Influences on behavioural response to earthquake shaking
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Seismic Isolation of bridges: Case Studies
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Seismic isolation is one of the most effective means of earthquake hazard mitigation. Seismic isolation bearings are typically placed in a bridge between the substructure and superstructure and physically decouple 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, ...
Sustainability in enhancing the resilience of major route in Wellington
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Uncertainty in the seismicity of Wellington and climate change were key issues that influenced the design of strengthening of a key arterial route in Wellington. The abstract describes the innovations and technology adopted ...
Mechanical Anchor Supplementary Shear Reinforcing as a Retrofit Technique for Hollowcore Floors
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Hollowcore floor systems have been prevalent in New Zealand construction since the 1980s. The susceptibility of these elements to fail under seismic action has been highlighted through numerous post-earthquake observations, ...
