Base isolated building preformance and the impact of the national seismic hazard model
Dong, Siqi (Claire); Sullivan, Timothy; Pettinga, Didier (2023-04-19)The NZSEE/MBIE recently released seismic design guidelines aiming to provide a more consistence design performance of base-isolated buildings in NZ. This paper confirms the superior performance of base-isolated buildings ... -
International alignment and update of the New Zealand earthquake intensity scale
Charleson, Andrew; Goded, Tatiana; Lin, Sheng-Lin; Beattie, Graeme; Ingham, Jason; Sullivan, Timothy; Hortacsu, Ayse; Wald, David (2023-04-19)The New Zealand Modified Mercalli intensity (MMI) scale was last revised in 2008. Even so, the scale's lack of specificity on New Zealand's structures for MMI>8 intensity levels has made it difficult to assign values for ... -
Method for the explicit consideration of ground motion duration in NZS 1170.5
Bhanu, Vishvendra; Chandramohan, Reagan; Sullivan, Timothy (2023-04-19)Recent studies have demonstrated that longer earthquake ground motion duration can reduce structural deformation capacity and increase collapse risk. This study introduces a method to explicitly account for such effects ... -
Modelling of residential house perimeter foundation beams subjected to ground deformations
Dawson, Max; Sullivan, Timothy; Millen, Maxim (2023-04-19)The 2010-11 Canterbury earthquake sequence is the most damaging and disruptive seismic event to affect New Zealand, resulting in repair costs totalling approximately NZ$40 billion. Liquefaction induced ground deformations ...
