    • The 2022 New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model Revision 

      Gerstenberger, Matt (2021-04-14)
      We are embarking on the most significant revision of the NSHM in more than 20 years. An international team of more than 50 scientists is contributing to two working groups: 1) Seismicity Rate Models (SRM); and 2) Ground ...

    • The national seismic hazard model for New Zealand: Contributions from the deep south 

      Stirling, Mark; Shaw, Bruce; Fitzgerald, Michelle; Ross, Clarissa; Gerstenberger, Matt (2021-04-14)
      The New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) is being updated for the first time since 2010 in a multi-institutional project led by GNS Science (www.gns.cri.nz/NSHM). In the interim, several major well-instrumented ...

    • Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building 

      Yang, Qun; Henry, Rick; Lu, Yiqiu (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 ...

    • Wellington basin amplification: research goals and update from the National Seismic Hazard Model Programme 

      Kaiser, Anna; Hill, Matt; Wotherspoon, Liam; Bradley, Brendon; Lee, Robin; Roten, Daniel; Bourguignon, Sandra; Pancha, Aasha; Gerstenberger, Matt (2021-04-14)
      In Wellington, 3D basin amplification effects observed at 1 – 2 second spectral periods were identified as one factor likely to have exacerbated damage to mid-rise structures during the 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake ...

    • Wellington Building Inventory: Rapid Earthquake Response Framework 

      Ghasemi, Amin; Stephens, Max; Elwood, Ken (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 ...
