The New Zealand Building Code - a rethink?
(2020-04-22)Are the regulatory settings for structural and geotechnical design of structures in New Zealand currently appropriate? It is contended that they are not. New Zealand led the world in performance based building regulation ... -
The Scott Base Redevelopment: design response to natural hazards
(2020-04-22)The Antarctic environment is extreme, making consideration of resilience crucial for survival. This paper outlines how site-specific hazards are being considered within a resilient design framework for the Scott Base ... -
The Scott Base redevelopment: Ross Sea geological hazards
(2020-04-22)To inform Scott Base development planning, we discuss the effects of historical earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanism on Antarctica and then focus on assessing the potential hazard from future tsunamis in the Ross Sea region. ... -
The seismic performance of structural steel buildings in the 2010/2011 Christchurch Earthquake series and the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake: lessons learned, ongoing research and needs of industry
(2020-04-22)At least 20 earthquakes greater than Ms 7 have taken place in New Zealand since 1850. The recent earthquake that occurred in Kaikoura (Ms 7.8) is considered one of the largest earthquakes since 1855, but Christchurch's ... -
Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFCs)
(2020-04-22)In the current design practice, the strength of Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs) is calculated considering the friction force developed at both sliding interfaces using the bolt tension reduced by the moment – shear ... -
Unbonded post-tensioning of face loaded URM cavity walls under semi-cyclic and dynamic loading
(2020-04-22)An unbonded post-tensioning (PT) system installed into full-scale face loaded (out-of-plane) URM cavity walls using threaded rod and steel anchor plates spanning the cavity was investigated through experimental testing. ... -
Wāhine tapuhi ō te parawhenua mea kia mataara- Wāhine-led, community-based research on earthquake resilience
(2020-04-22)Despite increasing attention on the importance of earthquake risk reduction for Aotearoa New Zealand communities, there are limited Māori-medium resources available, and more representation of Māori wāhine (women) researchers ... -
Wellington's sedimentary basin and its role in amplifying earthquake ground motions: new CBD 3D model and maps
(2020-04-22)During the Mw7.8 Kaikōura earthquake, ground motions in central Wellington were clearly influenced by both the nature of the earthquake source and local amplification effects due to the sedimentary basin. These effects ...
