Reimagining Community Resilience through a Te Ao Maori Worldview
(2023-04-19)Efforts to improve community resilience have seen universal efforts to grow capabilities in disaster management for the built environment. Although comprehensive frameworks exist, the perspective used to derive these ... -
Response of Retrofitted 3D RC Frames under Dynamic Loading Conditions
(2023-04-19)In this study, the response of 3D double story reinforced concrete (RC) frames retrofitted through a diagonal friction damper under dynamic loading conditions, was evaluated using shaking table tests. A friction damper ... -
Retrofit and Repair of Reinforced Concrete Columns with Active Confinement
(2023-04-19)There are too many reinforced concrete (RC) columns built before the 1970s without sufficient transverse reinforcement. Past earthquakes have demonstrated the vulnerability of such columns and the need for their retrofit. ... -
Review and suggestions on timber buildings with hybrid lateral force resisting systems
(2023-04-19)Timber-framed structures have long been the default structural form for residential construction in many countries, including New Zealand. However, for some complex low-rise and mid-rise buildings, hybrid Lateral Force ... -
Risk thresholds in the built environment
(2023-04-19)Engineering and building design inherently deal with risk. But risk is rarely—if ever—explicitly considered. Most building design in Aotearoa New Zealand (i.e., to B1/VM1 NZS1170) targets an annual individual fatality risk ... -
Seismic application of fillet and partial penetration butt welds
(2023-04-19)Fillet and partial (incomplete) penetration butt welds are the most cost-effective weld details for structural steel connections. Correctly sized and executed, double-sided, balanced fillet welds and partial penetration ... -
Seismic Behaviour of Slender Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Walls based on analytical methods
(2023-04-19)In the seismic design and assessment of structures, one of the key parameters is the displacement capacity of the structural elements. Slender reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are one of the more commonly used ... -
Seismic Damage States and Damage Quantification of Light Timber Framed Walls in Residential Houses
(2023-04-19)New Zealand (NZ) has a performance-based code environment. The essence of performance-based seismic design of buildings is to achieve multiple performance requirements including damage control. However, the current seismic ... -
Seismic design for temporary works: Recommendations for a Temporary Works forum NZ design note
(2023-04-19)The Temporary Works forum NZ (TWf NZ) aims to improve construction safety by addressing risk in the design and execution of temporary works. Anecdotal evidence suggests that seismic actions on temporary works are often ... -
Seismic design of an XblocPlus® revetment using multi-model approach
(2023-04-19)When designing and constructing revetments, there is often a drive to reduce the footprint due to space constraints and a limited supply of suitable rock armour materials. Concrete armour units present a potentially more ... -
Seismic design of suspended lightweight ceilings – what’s the ductility?
(2023-04-19)In the last few years, the design of suspended ceilings has gone through significant change and the level of compliance required has increased substantially. This was largely due to the generally poor performance of these ... -
Seismic hazard analysis for a bridge across Marikina River with consideration of near-fault effects
(2023-04-19)The Valley Fault System in Metro Manila, Philippines is widely considered to be an impending threat in releasing a large-scale earthquake. Such earthquake is forecasted to impose severe casualties and economic losses to ... -
Seismic Performance Comparison of New Zealand and Japanese Concrete Moment Frames
(2023-04-19)Observations of the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake in Japan showed buildings designed using Japanese standards resulted in less damage and downtime compared to buildings ... -
Seismic Restraint of Non-Structural Elements – Evolving Design Thinking
(2023-04-19)Seismic Restraint of non-structural elements has received increased attention in the past decade within the New Zealand building industry. Clients and Project Managers are now often coupling Seismic Restraint design with ... -
Seismic strengthening of RC walls using FRP to prevent axial failure
(2023-04-19)Reinforced concrete (RC) walls with insufficient compressive strain capacity at the boundary region are vulnerable to premature axial failure, limiting the drift capacity. A solution to strengthen these deficient RC walls ... -
Shake-table testing of resilient, low-cost seismic isolators based on rolling rubber spheres
(2023-04-19)This study presents the results of a large-scale experimental investigation of resilient, low-cost seismic isolators based on deformable rubber spheres. The isolators roll on flat or spherical (concave) concrete surfaces. ... -
Shaking Table Tests on RC Frames strengthened with Simplified Friction Damper
(2023-04-19)This study investigates the behavior of two reinforced concrete (RC) frames strengthened with simplified friction damper subjected to dynamic loading conditions. The simplified friction damper was designed with intent to ... -
Simplified approach to rapidly predict road blockages caused by co-seismic landslides
(2023-04-19)The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake triggered tens of thousands of landslides leading to several road blockages which isolated the population in Kaikōura and disrupted the transport services across the South Island. The prediction ... -
Site-specific seismic hazard analysis - evolving developments in practice
(2023-04-19)Site-specific hazard analyses (SSHAs) are undertaken to inform seismic actions for the design of important projects in New Zealand. These have typically adopted the 2010 National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) as the reference ... -
Site-specific seismic hazard evaluation of critical bridge infrastructure in Cebu, Philippines
(2023-04-19)Long-span, inter-island bridges in active tectonic regions are exposed considerably to elevated seismic risks. Evaluation of the seismic hazard is a primary step to assess this risk. Baseline information can be obtained ...
