Post-earthquake Building Safety Evaluation Training, Palu, Indonesia
(2021-04-14)Palu City and other parts of Central Sulawesi were severely impacted by a MW 7.5 earthquake and tsunamis on 28 September 2018 as a result of a rupture of the Palu–Koro Fault. The earthquake resulted in 4,400 deaths and ... -
Rapid, automated, post-earthquake building assessment using a swarm of drones and machine learning techniques
(2021-04-14)Completing safety evaluations of buildings is critical for the health and safety of a city’s community following a damaging earthquake. Most contemporary post-earthquake evaluations involve groups of people who physically ... -
Experimental loading protocols to evaluate the seismic performance of floor systems
(2021-04-14)Major earthquakes, such as the Canterbury and Kaikoura events recorded in New Zealand in 2010 and 2016 respectively, highlighted that floor systems can be heavily damaged. At a reduced or full scale, quasi-static experimental ... -
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 ... -
Monitoring of lateral stiffness changes for a real building using hysteresis loop analysis
(2021-04-14)The BNZ building in Wellington, New Zealand was significantly damaged, and eventually demolished, due to the cumulative impact of three main earthquakes between 2013 and 2016. Although the building was equipped with a set ... -
QuakeKit: Communicating Engineering Risks to Youth in the South Island of New Zealand
(2021-04-14)QuakeKit is a collaborative project through QuakeCoRE, AF8 [Alpine Fault magnitude 8], Canterbury Seismic Instruments (CSI), and University of Canterbury, funded by the Unlocking Curious Minds fund. QuakeKit has two parts: ... -
Performance comparison of standard and seismic glazing systems
(2021-04-14)Glazing systems are non-structural elements in a building that, more often than not, are given little consideration in seismic design. Recent experimental work into glazing systems at the University of Canterbury has shown ... -
Re-emerging from the rubble: What is delaying regeneration of Christchurch CBD?
(2021-04-14)Ten years since the February 2011 earthquakes devastated Christchurch CBD, partially demolished, derelict buildings and poorly maintained vacant sites remain in the post-earthquake landscape. While Christchurch City Council ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of the ShakeOut earthquake drill and use of protective actions in Aotearoa New Zealand
(2021-04-14)Many earthquake injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand result from people falling or being struck by flying objects during shaking. Since 2012, the ShakeOut earthquake (and now tsunami) drill has aimed to teach the protective ... -
Is the bar too high? Foundation settlement in post-earthquake Christchurch
(2021-04-14)Three case studies are presented to show how significant ground deformation occurred with the Canterbury earthquake sequence, which in turn resulted in slopes to shallow foundations. The case studies are all from the ... -
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 ... -
Impact of Canterbury earthquakes on the evolution of earthquake geotechnical engineering practice
(2021-04-14)Earthquake geotechnical engineering practice has evolved in New Zealand during the past 40 years. The 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes provided significant impetus to the research and practice. Early evolution commenced ... -
Seaview Wharf: risk-based thinking underpins the future
(2021-04-14)Wellington’s Seaview Wharf is a critical asset in the Lower North Island fuel supply system, including after significant seismic events. Recent annual fuel supply for the region has exceeded 1 Million tonnes, and there is ... -
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 ... -
Rebuilding Christchurch following the Canterbury earthquakes – implementation of geotechnical lessons learnt
(2021-04-14)Liquefaction during the Canterbury Earthquakes caused significant damage to the built environment of Christchurch and posed a significant challenge to the rebuild effort. This paper describes the process the geotechnical ... -
