QuakeKit: Communicating Engineering Risks to Youth in the South Island of New Zealand
(2021-04-14)QuakeKit is a collaborative project through QuakeCoRE, AF8 [Alpine Fault magnitude 8], Canterbury Seismic Instruments (CSI), and University of Canterbury, funded by the Unlocking Curious Minds fund. QuakeKit has two parts: ... -
Quantifying the Embodied Carbon Cost from Demolitions Following the Canterbury Earthquakes
(2021-04-14)The 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence resulted in severe financial loss, loss of life and disruption in Christchurch due to liquefaction and damage from strong shaking, which led to the widespread displacement of ... -
Rapid, automated, post-earthquake building assessment using a swarm of drones and machine learning techniques
(2021-04-14)Completing safety evaluations of buildings is critical for the health and safety of a city’s community following a damaging earthquake. Most contemporary post-earthquake evaluations involve groups of people who physically ... -
Re-emerging from the rubble: What is delaying regeneration of Christchurch CBD?
(2021-04-14)Ten years since the February 2011 earthquakes devastated Christchurch CBD, partially demolished, derelict buildings and poorly maintained vacant sites remain in the post-earthquake landscape. While Christchurch City Council ... -
Rebuilding Christchurch following the Canterbury earthquakes – implementation of geotechnical lessons learnt
(2021-04-14)Liquefaction during the Canterbury Earthquakes caused significant damage to the built environment of Christchurch and posed a significant challenge to the rebuild effort. This paper describes the process the geotechnical ... -
Residential Building Repair Cost and Claim Settlement Time from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence
(2021-04-14)This study analyses the Earthquake Commission’s (EQC) insurance claims database to investigate the influence of seismic intensity and property damage resulting from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) on the repair ... -
Risk-Targeted Hazard Spectra for Seismic Design in New Zealand
(2021-04-14)The promotion of risk-targeted hazard spectra as the basis of seismic design internationally has increased over the past decade. Risk-targeted hazard spectra are derived through convolution of hazard curves with representative ... -
Seaview Wharf: risk-based thinking underpins the future
(2021-04-14)Wellington’s Seaview Wharf is a critical asset in the Lower North Island fuel supply system, including after significant seismic events. Recent annual fuel supply for the region has exceeded 1 Million tonnes, and there is ... -
Seismic behaviour of a non-linear structure with passive D3 viscous damper
(2021-04-14)Passive Direction Displacement Dependent (D3) viscous damper is a next generation of the conventional viscous damper could provide damping force in any desired quadrant to provide wanted damping hysteresis loop. This ... -
Seismic Design and Analysis of a Medium Density Residential Building
(2021-04-14)There is an increasing recognition that good seismic performance requires not only checks on life-safety but also limitation of damage, disruption and losses. In light of this, several proposals are currently being developed ... -
Seismic performance expectations of homeowners using strengthening techniques to structurally prepare houses for earthquakes
(2021-04-14)Due to the widespread damage and large economic losses caused to residential houses by major earthquakes all around the world, government authorities and nongovernmental organizations have made significant investments to ... -
Seismic Restraint Design and Documentation for the Christchuch Acute Services Building
(2021-04-14)Seismic restraint design in New Zealand for large services intense buildings is a developing field. There are few examples of services intense Importance Level 4 buildings where fully compliant and modelled seismic restraint ... -
Seismic risk and the Building Code: A regulatory perspective
(2021-04-14)NZ is at the forefront of earthquake engineering and innovative solutions and strategies for dealing with seismic risk. Recent earthquakes have presented both opportunities and challenges for improving how the regulatory ... -
Seismic Strengthening Auckland's Waterfront
(2021-04-14)Seawalls were constructed in sections between 1879 and 1925 to form Quay Street on the waterfront of Downtown Auckland. These seawalls have essentially remained structurally unchanged since they were first constructed and ... -
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(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 ... -
Self-drilling dowel connections for ductile link beams in coupled CLT walls
(2021-04-14)Coupled CLT walls with steel link beams can form a more efficient lateral load resisting system for tall timber buildings when compared to single CLT shear walls. To achieve adequate coupling between CLT walls and ensure ... -
SESOC Software – Seismic Design Tools
(2021-04-14)SESOC has accumulated a number of structural software design programs, over time, which we actively maintain/enhance, also on occasion developing a new tool for the benefit of our members – and the NZ design fraternity. This ... -
Shake table testing of fire sprinkler piping systems typical of New Zealand practices
(2021-04-14)An automatic fire sprinkler piping system requires an intricate piping network to feed individual sprinklers spread across the plenum space. In practice, this elaborate piping network is braced against seismic demands ... -
Simplified numerical modeling of reinforced concrete columns with smooth rebars
(2021-04-14)Pre-1970s concrete buildings in New Zealand were commonly constructed with smooth longitudinal reinforcing bars. The NZSEE guideline for the seismic assessment of existing buildings (NZSEE C5) recognizes that the seismic ... -
