Developing Construction 4.0 transformation of Aotearoa New Zealand's construction sector
(2023-04-19)Aotearoa’s construction industry reached over $20.5 billion in 2019 and it became the fourth largest workplace in the year ended June 2021, significantly contributing to New Zealand’s economy. However, it has long been ... -
Development, verification, and validation of a buckling-fatigue steel material model
(2023-04-19)Currently, there are limited constitutive models available in finite element analysis packages that reliably capture the coupled effects of bar buckling and fatigue. However, such a model is needed for reliable estimation ... -
Dynamic Behaviour of Interlocking Plastic-block Structure Using Shake Table
(2023-04-19)Severe damage was caused by the earthquake, primarily to non-engineered structures in rural areas. Structures including roads, bridges, buildings and railroad tracks all suffered catastrophic destruction as a result of ... -
Estimates of site periods from mHVSR analysis of IRIS temporary seismograph networks
(2023-04-19)The effects of soil stratigraphy and sedimentary basins on earthquake ground shaking are well-established. These effects can be represented using a range of site metrics, with the focus of this paper being the fundamental ... -
Evaluation of prioritization schemes for bridge stock assessment
(2023-04-19)The important role of bridges in transportation network resiliency has made the management of the existing bridge stock an essential task. In order to implement and prioritise the activities to secure the proper performance ... -
Examples of ground improvement applications for earthquake design
(2023-04-19)The ground improvement applications and examples in this paper are planned to augment MBIE Module 5. This paper presents some ground improvement applications and their design and specification for earthquake hazard mitigation. ... -
Field miniature prototype development and pilot project design of subsurface compacted Rubble Raft (SCRR)
(2023-04-19)Subsurface Compacted Rubble Raft (SCRR) is a patented wide-area ground improvement solution that focuses on solving severe liquefaction hazards. SCRR technique directly targets the liquefaction layers by constructing a ... -
High capacity glued-in rod connections in Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures
(2023-04-19)Glued-in rods are efficient and high-capacity connections for achieving high-strength connections in new timber structures and reinforcing existing timber buildings. With the emergence of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and ... -
Multistage Friction Connections
(2023-04-19)Multistage friction connections (MFCs) are bolted connections for dissipating seismic energy while reducing peak displacements and encouraging recentring. MFCs comprise two symmetric friction connections co-linearly ... -
Numerical parametric analysis of gravity column base-plate connections
(2023-04-19)Gravity column base-plate connections are normally treated as pinned connections in design. Correspondingly, a low rotational stiffness value is specified in the New Zealand steel design standard, NZS 3404. However, previous ... -
Wellington Children’s Hospital - a different approach to a seismic restraint project
(2023-04-19)The seismic restraint design for non-structural elements in the new, Importance Level 3, Wellington Childrens Hospital building utilised a considered and efficient design approach that minimise the number of seismic ...
