A holisic methodology for assessing post-earthquake hospital functionality
(2021-04-14)Hospitals play a critical role in ensuring community safety. Hospitals must remain operational during and after an earthquake. However, physical damage, utility outages, or supply shortages can cause closures and/or ... -
CentrePort Wellington: Resilient regeneration activity
(2021-04-14)Wellington’s Pipitea port precinct - a critical lifeline and economic contributor to Wellington and surrounding regions – suffered significant damage and associated operational disruption as a result of the 2016 Kaikoura ... -
Design of RSFJ Self-centring Brace for Ultimate Limit State
(2021-04-14)In previous studies, it was shown that the RSFJ brace assembly is prone to elastic buckling for which a new mechanism composed of two telescopic sections was introduced as a remedy to increase the elastic buckling load, ... -
Earthquake prone public buildings: balancing life safety risks and community costs
(2021-04-14)The focus on seismic risk following the 2011 Christchurch and 2016 Kaikoura earthquakes has seen the closure of several public buildings across the country. The introduction of the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) ... -
Earthquake Stories: Experiences of Building Performance in Earthquakes to enhance future building performance
(2021-04-14)The performance of the built environment during earthquakes plays an important role in reducing risk and enhancing the resilience of New Zealand’s urban centres. Although engineering codes and building standards regulate ... -
Factors affecting the balancing of Gender Representation in the Engineering Industry
(2021-04-14)Gender disparity in the engineering industry is a well-recognised problem. Engineering is a growing industry, and the lack of gender balance affects the diversity of thought available to it, as well as the potential ... -
Improving earthquake resilience in the Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) using school-based seismometers and connected education programmes
(2021-04-14)Over the past decade several “seismometers in schools” programmes have been developed in Aotearoa New Zealand by a range of organisations, for a variety of reasons and aiming to achieve a range of educational outcomes. ... -
Low damage solution for a biomass boiler structure by a new three-dimensional seismic isolation
(2021-04-14)The February 2011 Christchurch earthquake caused significant property damage within Christchurch city. Since this devastating event, there has been a shift in engineering practice to Performance Based Design (PBD), to limit ... -
Outlook for earthquake early warning for Aotearoa New Zealand: Insights from initiating a community-of-practice
(2021-04-14)A community-of-practice (CoP) is a community that comprises of members that build relationships with each other to create technical advancements motivated by shared goals. Establishing communities-of-practice has been ... -
