Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ...
Is the bar too high? Foundation settlement in post-earthquake Christchurch
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Three case studies are presented to show how significant ground deformation occurred with the Canterbury earthquake sequence, which in turn resulted in slopes to shallow foundations. The case studies are all from the ...
Evaluation of a geospatial liquefaction model using land damage data from the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Earthquake induced liquefaction and lateral spreading can cause major damage to buildings and infrastructure networks. Common procedures to identify exposed areas such as cone penetration testing require extensive resources ...
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ...
Identifying attributes influencing failure mechanisms in unreinforced masonry buildings using machine learning
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Unreinforced masonry buildings comprise a major part of New Zealand's built heritage and were significantly damaged during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake sequence. There were 627 URM building assessed in the surveys ...
