Earthquake prone public buildings: balancing life safety risks and community costs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The focus on seismic risk following the 2011 Christchurch and 2016 Kaikoura earthquakes has seen the closure of several public buildings across the country. The introduction of the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) ...
Seaview Wharf: risk-based thinking underpins the future
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Wellington’s Seaview Wharf is a critical asset in the Lower North Island fuel supply system, including after significant seismic events. Recent annual fuel supply for the region has exceeded 1 Million tonnes, and there is ...
Full Waveform Tomography for the upper South Island region, New Zealand
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Wellington Building Inventory: Rapid Earthquake Response Framework
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
This paper is focused on the design and implementation of a functional tool to evaluate and communicate the seismic risk to increase resilience and reduce human and economic loss. Wellington has been selected as the case ...
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 ...
Modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of BRBFs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) on their estimated seismic performance. A number of recent studies have ...
