Influence of remedial ground densification on seismic site amplification
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
While the capability of remedial ground densification techniques to mitigate the adverse effects of liquefaction has been widely investigated in recent decades, the characterization of ground motion amplification in the ...
Modelling of residential house perimeter foundation beams subjected to ground deformations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The 2010-11 Canterbury earthquake sequence is the most damaging and disruptive seismic event to affect New Zealand, resulting in repair costs totalling approximately NZ$40 billion. Liquefaction induced ground deformations ...
Earthquake Design Pressures from Soil Interaction on Building Basement Walls
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Free-standing retaining walls are usually designed for earthquake loads using the Mononobe-Okabe method and assuming cohesionless soil backfill. The method assumes active pressure develops as a consequence of a failure ...
