Ground motions simulation of hypothetical earthquake sources in the upper North Island, NZ
(2020)The upper North Island of New Zealand has low rates of seismicity compared to the rest of the country. However, large concentrations of population and infrastructure mean this region is exposed to moderate magnitude ... -
Te Hiranga Rū QuakeCoRE Quake Centre outreach programmes
(2020)This poster covers the Outreach Programmes created by Te Hiranga Rū QuakeCoRE along with Quake Centre. The Outreach Programmes cover a multitude of projects and audiences with the goal of creating a more resilient Aotearoa ... -
Tsunami evacuation behaviour and dynamics of the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake: Informing network-based modelling for Kaikōura, New Zealand
(2020)Understanding evacuation behaviour and associated dynamics of an earthquake response provides valuable information to consider for future disaster risk management and response planning. Whilst the majority of evacuation ... -
Evaluating the relevance and effectiveness of AF8 since the project began in 2016
(2020)The work of AF8 is fundamentally about supporting good planning and coordination of all key agencies in the South Island to effectively respond (in the first seven days) to a significant future earthquake on the Alpine ... -
Development of a decision support system through modelling of critical infrastructure interdependencies
(2020)Critical Infrastructures (CI) such as electricity, water, fuel, telecommunication, and road networks are a crucial factor for secure and reliable operation of a society. In a non-emergency situation, most businesses operate ... -
Wall-to-floor connection behaviour in a low-damage concrete wall building
(2020)Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes, approximately 60% of multi-story buildings with reinforced concrete walls required demolition. Both practitioners and researchers have increasingly realized that low-damage ... -
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini: Learnings from emerging wāhine researchers undertaking community-based resilience projects
(2020)Despite increasing attention on the importance of earthquake and tsunami risk reduction for Aotearoa New Zealand communities, there are limited Māori-medium resources available, and more representation of Māori, and wāhine ... -
Investigating Tangata whenua views and responses to climate change
(2020)Tangata Whenua residing in Murihiku (Southland region), Aotearoa/New Zealand have experienced a long history of seismicity, resulting from their proximity to the Alpine Fault system. Earthquakes have significantly shaped ... -
Can regulatory intervention be successful? Review of the Unreinforced Masonry Securing Fund
(2020)This research investigates performance of the Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Securing Fund (URM Fund) that was established under the Hurunui/Kaikōura Earthquakes Recovery (Unreinforced Masonry Buildings) Order 2017. This ... -
Risk targeted hazard spectra for seismic design in New Zealand
(2020)New Zealand, like many other countries, designs buildings for ground motions with a uniform probability of occurrence such as the 1 in 500-year ground motion. If the expected response of a structure to the design ground ... -
Holistic evaluation of resilient structures: The environmental performance of beyond New Zealand building code structures
(2020)Designing a structure for higher- than-code seismic performance can result in significant economic and environmental benefits. This higher performance can be achieved using the principles of Performance-Based Design, in ... -
Assessing the evacuation capacity of remote rural communities highly exposed to tsunami hazard: A case study of Wairarapa coastal communities
(2020)Recent tsunami events around the world have produced devastating widespread impacts including large scale loss of life, displacement of coastal populations and economic disruption. In particular, the 2004 Indian Ocean ... -
Finite element modelling of nonlinear seismic behaviour of precast prestressed hollow-core floors
(2020)As it has been learned from recent earthquakes, reinforced concrete buildings have historically been designed and constructed in ways that jeopardize their seismic performance. In particular, the early use of Precast ... -
Digital storytelling in mediating caldera risk literacy in secondary school students
(2020)Lake Taupō in New Zealand is associated with frequent unrest and small to moderate eruptions. It presents a high consequence risk scenario with immense potential for destruction to the community and the surrounding ... -
Wellington building inventory: Rapid earthquake response framework
(2020)This research is focused on regional building responses to earthquakes and identification of broad vulnerability archetypes to allow for development of high-level retrofit strategies to increase resilience and limit human ... -
Using machine learning techniques to predict seismic damage in Dunedin
(2020)Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures comprise a majority of the global built heritage. The masonry heritage of New Zealand is comparatively younger to its European counterparts. In a country facing frequent earthquakes, ... -
Understanding geomechanical and hydraulic vulnerabilities in dam-stopbank systems
(2020)Floods are New Zealand’s most frequent and damaging natural events. Stopbanks and dams provide the primary means of physical protection for many communities and are, therefore, critical for protecting life, property, and ... -
Leadership in extreme contexts
(2020)This research aims to critically examine how people exercise authority (including governance, leadership, management, and command); to determine those capabilities and systems necessary to deliver more successful outcomes ... -
Informing tsunami evacuation modelling by evacuation dynamics from Christchurch and Banks Peninsula during the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake
(2020)Recent tsunami events have highlighted the importance of effective tsunami risk management strategies (including land-use planning, structural and natural mitigation, warning systems, education and evacuation planning). ... -
Seismic isolation of light frame wood buildings in New Zealand
(2020)Seismic isolation is an effective technology for significantly reducing damage to buildings and building contents. However, its application to light-frame wood buildings has so far been unable to overcome cost and technical ...
