Panel Discussion - Towards a Resilient Future
(2021-04-14)Many lessons have been learnt from the major earthquakes in the past that have helped New Zealand become more resilient to earthquakes. But society’s circumstances, perspectives, and expectations are ever changing. How do ... -
Parallel scalability of OpenSees for 2D and 3D ground response analysis problems
(2021-04-14)This study investigates the parallel scalability of the OpenSees finite element analysis platform in the context of 2D and 3D ground response analyses. A series of 2D and 3D models ranging from 7500 to 480000 elements are ... -
Performance Comparison of Buckling-Restrained Braces and Friction Dampers Adopted for Retrofit of an Existing RC Frame Building Using Performance-Based Retrofit Procedure
(2021-04-14)This paper presents a performance-based retrofit approach for designing and performance comparison of Buckling -Restrained Braces (BRBs) and Friction Dampers as retrofit strategies for RC frame buildings. An overview of ... -
Performance comparison of standard and seismic glazing systems
(2021-04-14)Glazing systems are non-structural elements in a building that, more often than not, are given little consideration in seismic design. Recent experimental work into glazing systems at the University of Canterbury has shown ... -
Performance of Taranaki Volcanic Silts under Cyclic Loading
(2021-04-14)WSP has been involved in a number of building projects in New Plymouth. Some of the buildings are founded on volcanic silts (Taranaki ash). Field and simplified laboratory tests often indicate that these materials are ... -
Philosophical reflexions following the Lyttleton 2011 New Zealand Earthquake: Ten years after
(2021-04-14)At 12:51 p. m. on 22 February 2011, the Mw 6.3 Lyttelton earthquake struck the Canterbury region of New Zealand. The seismic event was reported as the result of the rupture of a previously unknown geological fault, 5.9 km ... -
Post-earthquake Building Safety Evaluation Training, Palu, Indonesia
(2021-04-14)Palu City and other parts of Central Sulawesi were severely impacted by a MW 7.5 earthquake and tsunamis on 28 September 2018 as a result of a rupture of the Palu–Koro Fault. The earthquake resulted in 4,400 deaths and ... -
Post-earthquake Response: Are We Ready for the Next Big One?
(2021-04-14)The period of relative quiescence for significant urban earthquakes in New Zealand in the latter half of the last century presented challenges in getting the country prepared to respond – for both the general population ... -
Push-over analysis of a 3D architectural wharf structure including soil-structure interaction
(2021-04-14)A new wharf structure was proposed for Te Wānanga in central Auckland. Due to the complex geometry of the proposed wharf, which included plan irregularity, open apertures, deck-suspended planter boxes, suspended nets and ... -
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 ...
