The role of in-plane strengthening within a proposed non-specific design approach to seismic improvement for URM buildings
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Recent research shows that a significant number of earthquake-prone unreinforced brick masonry buildings may not receive seismic strengthening within the deadlines mandated by the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) ...
Reclamation resilience improvement at CentrePort, Wellington New Zealand
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
CentrePort operations were significantly disrupted following damage to strategic assets sustained in the 2016 Kaikōura Earthquake, demonstrating the ports seismic vulnerability. Improved resilience is a necessity to long-term ...
Post-earthquake functional recovery: A critical review
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Functional recovery not only transforms the retrofit of damaged buildings from an earthquake event but also contributes to community resilience. This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art literature review of functional ...
Social Influences on behavioural response to earthquake shaking
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Many earthquake injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand occur because people either do not act quickly to protect themselves or act in a way which can lead to harm. Earthquakes are an uncertain context in which to make behavioural ...
Modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of BRBFs
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of modelling the out-of-plane buckling behaviour of buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) on their estimated seismic performance. A number of recent studies have ...
