Dynamic site characterisation of the Hawke's Bay sedimentary basin using H/V and surface wave methods
(2020)Despite extensive discussion surrounding community resilience, operationalizing the concept remains challenging. The dominant approaches for assessing resilience focus on either evaluating community characteristics or ... -
Resilience as a function of equitable access to services and essentials - integrating infrastructure and community resilience approaches
(2020)Despite extensive discussion surrounding community resilience, operationalizing the concept remains challenging. The dominant approaches for assessing resilience focus on either evaluating community characteristics or ... -
Pushover testing of isolated piles of the Whirokino Tresttle
(2020)In New Zealand over 60% of State Highway bridges were designed and built during eras with low seismic provisions and most of these bridges are supported by pile foundations. An improved understanding of the in-service ... -
Why do people prepare for natural hazards? Identifying relevant behavioural beliefs
(2020)Natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunami can have adverse impacts on infrastructures and populations globally. In Wellington, New Zealand, perception of these risks is high but preparation is low. Using the Theory ... -
An ongoing project for conceptualising a community-engaged network of low-cost sensors for earthquake early warning in Aotearoa New Zealand
(2020)Earthquake-prone countries are exploring earthquake early warning (EEW) systems as a risk mitigation measure. However, establishing a comprehensive EEW system would require a substantial financial investment, and for many ... -
Multi-hazard analysis and mapping in support of costal city growth planning and resilience building
(2020)High growth in Tauranga is causing increased pressure to develop hazard-prone land. A key tool in evaluating safer potential growth areas is the quantification and spatial mapping of individual natural hazards. In a ... -
Earthquake risk reduction behaviours in organisations: Understanding what organisations are doing to stay safe in New Zealand's seismically active environment
(2020)Creating a resilient New Zealand requires effort from all of society. Organisations, in particular, have the potential to be a catalyst in building a resilient nation. Organisations that effectively manage natural hazard ... -
Enhancing the seismic resilience of residential buildings in Aotearoa through the reuse of waste tyres
(2020)Recycling and reuse of end-of-life tyres (ELTs) in civil engineering applications is an effective way to minimise environmental and health issues associated with such waste materials and reduce demand of natural resources ... -
Stiffness degradation in earthquake damaged and repaired reinforced concrete beams
(2020)The design of high ductility reinforced concrete (RC) moment frame structures is a well-established practice in regions of high seismicity in New Zealand. Such structures will commonly experience distributed damage and the ... -
Resilient Slip Friction Joint (RSFJ): Completed and ongoing projects in research and practice
(2020)The innovative Resilient Slip Friction Joint (RSFJ) technology has recently been developed and introduced to the New Zealand construction industry. This low damage system aims to minimize the earthquake-induced damage and ... -
Numerical modelling of tall reinforcement concrete wall designed with the minimum vertical reinforcement limits
(2020)Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls are effective lateral force-resisting components that are commonly implemented in tall buildings. Recent studies have investigated the impact of minimum vertical reinforcement ... -
Determining the seismic performance of structural insulated panels for New Zealand buildings
(2020)New Zealand has an urgent need for quality housing that can be built quickly and affordably. Construction using structural insulated panels (SIPs) has been suggested as one possible solution. SIPs are sandwich panels made ... -
Earthquakes: Are we ready for a LONG one?
(2020)Recent studies have demonstrated the effect of earthquake ground motion duration on structural collapse capacity. They have also proposed methods to explicitly account for this effect of duration in structural design and ... -
Impacts of site specific information on post-earthquake cordons: A comparative case study of Christchurch, New Zealand and L'Aquila, Italy
(2020)Post-earthquake cordons have been used after seismic events around the world. However, there is limited understanding of cordons and how contextual information of place such as geography, socio-cultural characteristics, ... -
Seismic performance of a 9-storey pre-1970's reinforced concrete wall building in Wellington
(2020)Reconnaissance reports have highlighted the poor performance of non-ductile reinforced concrete buildings during the 2010-11 Canterbury earthquakes. These buildings are widely expected to result in significant losses under ... -
The relationship between the building life cycle of commercial properties and seismic adaptation in Wellington CBD
(2020)Earthquake fatality is a function of building vulnerability. Several studies that have investigated seismic disruptions have revealed that the severity of earthquakes is influenced by vulnerable buildings, especially ... -
Cross-platform validation of the Stress Density Model
(2020)Liquefaction-induced damages has proved to be severe, widespread and complex in recent earthquakes. Dynamic effective stress analysis is a procedure for evaluating the seismic response of geotechnical systems experiencing ... -
Effect of stress level on cyclic resistance of undisturbed samples of pumiceous soil
(2020)Geologically recent volcanic eruptions from the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) have resulted in the deposition of pumice materials across significant areas on the North Island of New Zealand. In particular, these volcanically ... -
A neural network-based ground motion model trained on ground motion simulations in New Zealand
(2020)This poster presents a New Zealand-specific simulation-based ground motion model (GMM) developed using an artificial neural network (ANN). The rationale behind the model development is to leverage the advantages of ... -
Effect of Hikurangi subduction interface geometry on simulated ground motion intensities
(2020)The Hikurangi subduction fault runs under the eastern side of the North Island and has a large down dip curvature (Williams et al. 2013). The six current Hikurangi fault rupture scenarios provided by the National Seismic ...
