Low damage solution for a biomass boiler structure by a new three-dimensional seismic isolation
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Philosophical reflexions following the Lyttleton 2011 New Zealand Earthquake: Ten years after
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Risk-Targeted Hazard Spectra for Seismic Design in New Zealand
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Earthquake Stories: Experiences of Building Performance in Earthquakes to enhance future building performance
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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 ...
Design of RSFJ Self-centring Brace for Ultimate Limit State
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 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, ...
