Evaluation of seismic performance of buildings and infrastructure
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
Observations from the Canterbury and Kaikoura earthquakes are used to illustrate some important factors that often govern the seismic performance of ground, buildings and infrastructure. The talk examines some of the ...
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 ...
Evaluation of assessment approaches for soil-foundation-structure interaction of frame buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The consideration of soil and foundation deformations within the seismic assessment of buildings can be critical for evaluating the likely load paths and consequent deformations. Frame buildings provide numerous complexities ...
Liquefaction Assessment of Reclaimed Land at CentrePort
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2021-04-14)
The 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikōura earthquake caused widespread liquefaction in the port of Wellington (CentrePort), New Zealand which produced substantial lateral ground movements along with global and differential settlement. ...
