Ductility factor validation for CLT walls with bolted hold-downs: preliminary analysis and observations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
High-capacity cantilever CLT walls can be created with bolted hold-downs to resist earthquake loading. This study briefly presents the experimental results and cyclic behaviour of the representative test specimen. Then ...
Assessing the impact of acceleration-sensitive components on the seismic losses of multi-storey office buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The Ministry of Building, Innovation and Employment is developing advice on how to deliver Low Damage Seismic Design (LDSD) protection for buildings through their Tū Kahika: Building Resilience platform. A preliminary ...
Investigation of influential factors on yield strength of lead rubber bearings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The design of seismic isolators as specified by building code requirements is well defined and well established. However, there is still some refinement required for these design practices, especially in terms of estimating ...
Seismic retrofit of historic timber structures: Uncertainties and adaption on site
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Existing timber structures, containing more hand-adapted and degradable components than other materials, provide challenges in ensuring your design intent is followed through on site. Often these buildings are flexible ...
Dealing with uncertainty in prediction of lateral spread
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Prediction of lateral spread for seismic assessment and design includes considerable uncertainty. Two widely used prediction methods are Youd et al. (2002) and Zhang et al. (2004). Five case studies across the Wellington ...
Study on floor-slab out-of-plane effect of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
In 2019, a system-level shake-table test of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building was conducted using the multi-functional shake-table array at Tongji University as part of an international collaborative project ...
The shaky south (or not): towards improving communities understanding of earthquake risk in Otago and Southland
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Understanding how people interpret and respond to earthquake risks is vital to any strategy for earthquake risk reduction. Acknowledging that there is a wide range of interpretations of risk is important in determining how ...
Wellington region land transport resilience business case
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The high seismicity, rugged terrain and an increasingly adverse climate exacerbated by climate change mean that the capital city Wellington’s transport system has severe deficiencies in its resilience to natural and ...
Retaining Wall Design - SESOC
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
In the absence of a recognised or accepted national standard, and in order to provide clarity around the technical basis for their retaining wall software, some time ago SESOC embarked on the development of two design ...
The role of in-plane strengthening within a proposed non-specific design approach to seismic improvement for URM buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Recent research shows that a significant number of earthquake-prone unreinforced brick masonry buildings may not receive seismic strengthening within the deadlines mandated by the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) ...
