Interim Results from empirical ground motion model evaluation for the NZ National Seismic Hazard Model Update
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
As a part of the ongoing 2022 NZ National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) Update, the predictive capabilities of candidate empirical ground motion models are evaluated to ascertain models which provide good prediction for NZ ...
Dealing with uncertainty in prediction of lateral spread
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Prediction of lateral spread for seismic assessment and design includes considerable uncertainty. Two widely used prediction methods are Youd et al. (2002) and Zhang et al. (2004). Five case studies across the Wellington ...
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 ...
Liquefaction potential of sand-gravel mixtures: experimental observations
(New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2022-04-27)
Case histories from at least 27 earthquakes worldwide (including three from New Zealand: 1929 Mw7.6 Murchison earthquake; 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield earthquake; and 2016 Mw 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake) have indicated that liquefaction ...
