Displaced But Not Moved: Performance-Based Foundation Design
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Improved understanding of seismicity within New Zealand and globally has led to an increase in seismic hazard for many locations. High seismic acceleration demands (e.g. >1g) for buildings and infrastructure have led to ...
GeoNet’s Shaking Layer Tool: Generation of near-real time ground shaking for post-event response
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Information on ground shaking following an earthquake is important for many applications from emergency response, engineering assessments, infrastructure management, insurance claim estimation and research. GeoNet, along ...
Public expectations of damage and disruption to existing multi-storey buildings in earthquakes
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The seismic performance of both structural and non-structural building components have the potential to affect the lives of building occupants, with poor performance likely to cause undue disruptions to the lives of building ...
Elongating plastic hinge element for nonlinear analysis of RC structures using OPENSEES
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
During inelastic cyclic loading, the length of plastic hinges in reinforced concrete (RC) members increases irreversibly which significantly affects the seismic performance of RC structures. It is hence necessary for ...
Enhancing earthquake and tsunami preparedness and response in Kura Kaupapa Māori/Schools in Tairāwhiti and Waiāriki, Aotearoa New Zealand
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
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 ...
“Modal crimes” in structural engineering
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
With increasing seismic hazard as advised by the NSHM 2022 for entire New Zealand, there is a huge demand for the retrofit of existing building stock to achieve higher earthquake resilience. One of the ways to achieve a ...
Experimental proof of the effectiveness of timber panels in the seismic retrofit of URM buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
Recently there has been a growing interest by both academia and the industry in the possibility of using timber as a strengthening material for the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. This possibility ...
Shake-table testing of resilient, low-cost seismic isolators based on rolling rubber spheres
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of resilient, low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres. The isolators roll on flat or spherical (concave) concrete surfaces. ...
Effect of Periodic Unit Cell Volume on Attenuation Zones of 1D-Meta-material based Periodic Foundations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The meta-material-based periodic foundations are being investigated by researchers for earthquake engineering applications due to their wave-filtering ability. The periodic foundations are characterized by frequency bandgaps, ...
Innovative Resin Injection Ground Improvement to Build Up Seismic Resilience of Existing Water Structures
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2023-04-19)
The existing Wellington Water’s Waterloo Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Wellington, New Zealand is an important post-earthquake facility for the Wellington region. The WTP is founded on soils prone to liquefaction and ...
