The use of 3D LE methods to calculate slope stability during strong earthquake shaking
(2024-04-09)This paper discusses the application of three-dimensional (3D) limit equilibrium (LE) analysis for slope stability, with a focus on seismic considerations. While traditional 2D limit equilibrium analyses have been extensively ... -
Time History Analysis is easy, and you should do it: Here’s how.
(2024-04-09)Time history analysis is generally regarded as a highly specialised and deeply technical process. There is also a growing divide between different schools of thought around how analysis should be done. On the one hand, ... -
Towards 3D ground motion simulation-based site amplification: a Wellington case study considering multiple basin geometries
(2024-04-09)This paper presents a study on 3D ground motion simulation-based site amplification using the Wellington region of New Zealand as a case study. Several recent models of the Wellington sedimentary basin have been developed ... -
Tsunami resilience: Aotearoa New Zealand's path to integrated risk management and engineering design
(2024-04-09)Tsunami threats persist along coastlines worldwide, necessitating proactive measures to safeguard lives and property. Recent catastrophic events, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Japan tsunami, have ... -
Turnbull Library: Strengthening for Heritage and Resilience
(2024-04-09)Turnbull House is a Category 1 Heritage building on Bowen Street in Wellington. It was built in the 1910s as a residence and library, primarily from unreinforced masonry. Although some strengthening was carried out in the ... -
Urban Geophysics and Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Wellington CBD
(2024-04-09)Many of our cities are built on sedimentary basins. Both the depth and shape of the basin will influence, and generally enhance the level of shaking. Our focus is the Wellington CBD, where we use seismic reflection and ...
