Residential Building Repair Cost and Claim Settlement Time from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Performance comparison of standard and seismic glazing systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Glazing systems are non-structural elements in a building that, more often than not, are given little consideration in seismic design. Recent experimental work into glazing systems at the University of Canterbury has shown ...
Shake table testing of fire sprinkler piping systems typical of New Zealand practices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
An automatic fire sprinkler piping system requires an intricate piping network to feed individual sprinklers spread across the plenum space. In practice, this elaborate piping network is braced against seismic demands ...
Are stronger, stiffer buildings indeed costlier?: Case study of RC frame buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Seismic codes/standards allow buildings to be designed for different lateral strength as long as the associated ductility and drift demands are catered for. The design seismic force is primarily controlled by a force ...
Hazard-consistent collapse risk assessment of steel moment frame buildings in Wellington
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
This study evaluates the seismic collapse risk of two modern ductile steel moment frame buildings designed as per the NZS 1170.5 seismic design standard. A four and twelve storey steel moment frame buildings located in ...
