Strength requirements for non-structural components responding nonlinearly under earthquake excitation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
This study develops a practice-oriented method to design non-structural components and their restraints to lower strengths than needed to remain elastic under earthquake ground motion by permitting nonlinear non-structural ...
Validation of NZ small-magnitude ground-motion simulations using complex structural systems
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
The national seismic hazard model for New Zealand: Contributions from the deep south
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Damageability of Hollow-core Floors
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The life safety risk of precast hollow-core floors during earthquakes have been well recognised in New Zealand since early 2000s. Hollow-core floor unts in ductile buildings may experience web cracking at drift demands ...
Investigating CLT Lateral Load Resisting Systems for Taller Timber Buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Recent taller timber buildings worldwide have often utilized hybrid systems of mixed materials and have been built in regions of low seismicity. Designers often adopt the hybrid material solution of utilizing mass timber ...
Development and implications of an expanded national earthquake catalogue for New Zealand
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
In the last two decades, New Zealand (NZ) has experienced significant earthquakes, including the 2010 M 7.2 Darfield, 2011 M 6.2 Christchurch, and 2016 M 7.8 Kaikōura events. Amongst these large events, tens of thousands ...
Seismic Restraint Design and Documentation for the Christchuch Acute Services Building
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Residential Building Repair Cost and Claim Settlement Time from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Seismic behaviour of a non-linear structure with passive D3 viscous damper
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Liquefaction Risk Analysis of Native and Reclaimed Soil Deposits in Central Wellington
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Following the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, severe and damaging liquefaction was observed at the port of Wellington in areas of reclamation fills built at the beginning of or mid 20th century. However, little or no damage was ...
