Quantifying the Embodied Carbon Cost from Demolitions Following the Canterbury Earthquakes
(2021-04-14)The 2010/2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence resulted in severe financial loss, loss of life and disruption in Christchurch due to liquefaction and damage from strong shaking, which led to the widespread displacement of ... -
Investigation of vertical reinforcement termination in lightly reinforced concrete walls
(2021-04-14)Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are effective lateral force-resisting components commonly implemented in tall buildings. Recent studies have investigated the impact of minimum vertical reinforcement limits on the ... -
Improving earthquake resilience in the Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) using school-based seismometers and connected education programmes
(2021-04-14)Over the past decade several “seismometers in schools” programmes have been developed in Aotearoa New Zealand by a range of organisations, for a variety of reasons and aiming to achieve a range of educational outcomes. ... -
The top enablers and barriers of seismic technology adoption in construction
(2021-04-14)The slow process of adoption of the new technologies has been identified as a significant issue in the construction industry. In order to address this issue, the top enablers and barriers of the adoption process are needed ... -
Philosophical reflexions following the Lyttleton 2011 New Zealand Earthquake: Ten years after
(2021-04-14)At 12:51 p. m. on 22 February 2011, the Mw 6.3 Lyttelton earthquake struck the Canterbury region of New Zealand. The seismic event was reported as the result of the rupture of a previously unknown geological fault, 5.9 km ... -
Seismic upgrading of friction-damped steel frames integrated with self-centring devices
(2021-04-14)Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ...
