The 2022 New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model Revision
(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 Assessment of Liquefaction induced Settlement - application within Engineering Practice
(2021-04-14)The assessment of the magnitude of liquefaction-induced settlements affecting shallow founded buildings and buried services is an important yet challenging task for geotechnical engineers. It is often required when assessing ... -
The national seismic hazard model for New Zealand: Contributions from the deep south
(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 ... -
The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ): Design, Detail, and Implementation in Practice
(2021-04-14)The Optimised Sliding Hinge Joint (OSHJ) is a low-damage, resilient, versatile, and cost effective seismic resisting system developed primarily for Moment Resisting Steel Framed (MRSF) buildings. The OSHJ is the optimized ... -
The State of Practice in SSI Modelling in New Zealand: Insights from an Engineering Profession Survey
(2021-04-14)There is a relatively brief consideration for soil-structure interaction (SSI) effect in the New Zealand guidelines for the seismic assessment of structures. Recent earthquake events including the Kaikōura earthquake of ... -
The top enablers and barriers of seismic technology adoption in construction
(2021-04-14)The slow process of adoption of the new technologies has been identified as a significant issue in the construction industry. In order to address this issue, the top enablers and barriers of the adoption process are needed ... -
Three-storey Configurable Steel Framed Building Incorporating Friction Based Energy Dissipaters: Structural Configuration and Instrumentation
(2021-04-14)A 9 m high, full-scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building incorporating friction based connections is being tested using two linked bi-directional shake tables at the International joint research ... -
Upper and lower bound force capacity estimates of lead extrusion damper design force using classical extrusion models
(2021-04-14)To reduce seismic vulnerability and the economic impact of seismic structural damage, it is important to protect structures using supplemental energy dissipation devices. High force to volume (HF2V) devices are supplemental ... -
Using a self-centring friction damper as anchorage system for industrial tanks and vessels
(2021-04-14)The conventional tank’s connections make the tanks to be either fully restrained or free for rocking motion, which generally creates a high level of force due to lack of ductility or large displacement demand due to uplift ... -
Validation of NZ small-magnitude ground-motion simulations using complex structural systems
(2021-04-14)This study assesses the need to consider complex structural models in ground-motion simulation validation. It develops a novel statistical framework to quantify the proportion of the differences in structural responses ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behavior in a low-damage concrete wall building
(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
(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
(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 ...
