Rapid Earthquake Rupture Characterisation for New Zealand Using the FinDer Algorithm
(2024-04-09)For large and damaging earthquakes, rupture location and extent are critical inputs for impact forecasts and response decision-making. This information has the potential to significantly improve estimates of ground shaking, ... -
Recommended practice for seismic restraint design of suspended ceilings
(2024-04-09)Seismic restraint of suspended ceilings in the New Zealand environment has seen significant evolution over the past decade. Amendments to NZS1170.5 and updates to AS/NZS2785 are intended to drive better earthquake resilience ... -
Residential Reconstruction of Christchurch City Centre: Is sustainability the key to promoting inner-city living?
(2024-04-09)The aftermath of the 12 years following the earthquake has posed persistent challenges in achieving attracting permanent residents into the Christchurch City Centre. Despite City Council’s initiatives like the Central City ... -
Resin Injection ground improvement for liquefaction mitigation at Poverty Bay Rugby Club, Gisborne
(2024-04-09)Gisborne is located near the Hikurangi Subduction Zone which contributes to a significant amount of the seismic activity in New Zealand. This coupled with Gisborne’s soil profile consisting of liquefiable sands has resulted ... -
Seismic Performance of Prefabricated Modular Mass Timber Structures with Inter-Story Isolation.
(2024-04-09)Prefabricated Modular Mass Timber (MMT) construction provides an alternative to traditional on-site light timber construction. MMT buildings comprise of prefabricated volumetric modules assembled on-site to form a larger, ... -
Seismic Ratcheting Considerations
(2024-04-09)This paper describes recent research conducted to understand the effects of structural characteristics on the seismic response of single storey structures with a ratcheting tendency. The ratcheting tendency was characterised ... -
Seismic resilient structures using pre-cast pre-stressed concrete panels for modular construction
(2024-04-09)Earthquake resiliency combined with sustainability can be achieved through state of the art technology and construction methods. In this paper, a new construction methodology is proposed for resilient and sustainable ... -
Seismic response of frames with building cladding elements
(2024-04-09)This paper presents the concept, methodology and findings of the analysis of frames with building cladding elements exposed to seismic events. Inelastic nonlinear push-pull analyses, and hand analyses, are conducted to ... -
Seismic response of sustainable, resilient eccentrically braced frames
(2024-04-09)“Circular design” and “Construction 4.0” are two distinct concepts that can be complementary and beneficial within the construction industry while prioritising sustainability. Nascent global Construction 4.0 knowledge ... -
Seismic Resurrection of 13-storey Apartment Building at 66 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch
(2024-04-09)This precast concrete apartment building at 66 Oxford Terrace was completed in 2005 and has considerable architectural merit. The Engineers employed by the Body Corporate post the CES of 2010 / 2011 discovered that the ... -
Seismic Retrofitting Concrete Structures with Post-installed Connections in New Zealand
(2024-04-09)Seismic Retrofitting of concrete structures in New Zealand is of utmost importance, as highlighted by the most recent catastrophic Canterbury earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. With more than 2,800 earthquake-prone buildings ... -
SESOC Retaining Wall Design Guide - Methodology and Validation
(2024-04-09)Some years in development, the SESOC Cantilever Timber Pole Retaining Wall Design Guide has been prepared in response to the need for a comprehensive, coherent design basis, albeit for low rise, cantilever, walls. Though ... -
Shake-table test of flexural RC beams subjected to different levels of repair
(2024-04-09)Typically, damaged reinforced concrete (RC) building components are fully repaired to achieve the highest performance recovery. However, this repair objective may not necessarily be essential to achieve building performance ... -
Shake-Table Testing of the Resilient Slip Friction Joints
(2024-04-09)A consortium of university researchers (UoA, AUT and UC) from New Zealand and Tongji University have undertaken shake-table tests of various friction damping devices. This testing program is under the banner of the ROBUST ... -
Shallow Shear Wave Reflection Surveys in the Wellington CBD
(2024-04-09)Seismic reflection profiles using shear waves provide constraints on the thickness of sediments beneath the Wellington CBD. New shear wave source and acquisition methods were trialled for use in urban environments to ... -
