Depth and Shape of the Basement Surface Beneath Wellington City, Based on Gravity and Seismic Constraints
(2022-04-27)A new basin-depth map for the Wellington Central Business District shows a maximum depth of 540 m near the Wellington Stadium. This is twice that previously proposed. Our new basin geometry constraints are from a residual ... -
Study on floor-slab out-of-plane effect of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building
(2022-04-27)In 2019, a system-level shake-table test of a 2-storey low-damage concrete wall building was conducted using the multi-functional shake-table array at Tongji University as part of an international collaborative project ... -
The role of in-plane strengthening within a proposed non-specific design approach to seismic improvement for URM buildings
(2022-04-27)Recent research shows that a significant number of earthquake-prone unreinforced brick masonry buildings may not receive seismic strengthening within the deadlines mandated by the Building (Earthquake-prone Buildings) ... -
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 ...
