A Practice-Oriented Method for Predicting Elastic Floor Acceleration Response Spectra
(2019)Significant losses have been incurred due to damage to nonstructural components within buildings in recent seismic events, even in instances where the structural systems have performed well. This observation warrants ... -
Shaking Table Test of a Near Full Scale Low Damage Structural Steel Building: Structural Aspects
(2019)Recent severe earthquakes worldwide have put emphasis on building resilience. To achieve this, procedures for low damage seismic design have been developed to satisfy both the life safety requirement and the need to minimize ... -
A Data-Driven Approach for Granular Simulation of Potential Earthquake Damage to Bridge Networks and Resulting Decreases in Mobility
(2019)Quantified investigation of resilience in regional transportation networks has been a growing research focus. Despite this increased attention, state-of-the-art studies fall short of devising and utilizing explicit ... -
Dynamic behaviour of reinforced concrete bridges in freezing conditions
(2019)The strong influence of ambient temperature variation, and especially freezing of near-surface soils, on the transverse modal response of the bridges in cold earthquake-prone regions has been shown in previous research. ... -
What should Auckland expect from a Magnitude 7 Hauraki Rift Earthquake?
(2019)The Hauraki Rift is a tectonically active structure extending from Matamata to Waiheke Island. Because it produces earthquakes only infrequently, its seismic hazard is poorly understood. However, together, its faults are ... -
Development of a GIS platform for Multi-Disciplinary Community Databases to enable Earthquake Resilience and Research
(2019)This poster describes the initial steps and benefits in the creation of a GIS platform that will enable the hosting, sharing, and linking of spatial, geotechnical, structural, social, and economic datasets. This will enable ... -
Stress- Density Model Validation for Liquefaction Analysis
(2019)Liquefaction-induced problems may cause severe damage to infrastructure. Existing simplified empirical relations for estimating deformations based on the free field disregard shear deformation effects on buildings. ... -
Liquefaction Exposure Across New Zealand Transport Networks
(2019)Liquefaction can lead to significant damage of infrastructure networks disrupting important services such as the transport of people or freight. Hazard maps help to identify exposed infrastructure sections and to support ... -
Seismic Site Response at CentrePort, Wellington
(2019)The Port of Wellington (CentrePort) is a key lifeline located on the Wellington Waterfront. CentrePort is situated on land reclaimed in stages between the 1890’s and the 1970’s. The land was reclaimed using end-tipped ... -
Seismic performance of adjacent mat-supported structures on liquefiable soil: validation of numerical model using centrifuge tests
(2019)Adjacent structures can interact with each other through the underlying soil during earthquakes. This interaction, which is more common in dense urban areas, is known as structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) and can ... -
Assessment of the Historic Seismic Performance of the New Zealand Bridge Stock
(2019)This poster presents the assessment of historic seismic bridge performance of the New Zealand highway bridge stock from the 1968 Inangahua earthquake through to the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. Spatial ground motion details ... -
Energy - Communication Resilience
(2019)This is a joint Resilience Framework undertaken by the Electrical, Computer and Software Engineering Department of the University of Auckland in association with West Power and Orion networks and partially funded by the ... -
FP3: Prioritising Earthquake Retrofitting in the High in Wellington CBD
(2019)Strengthening buildings can minimize the earthquakes’ life safety risk. Wellington has around 800 office buildings that might have structural and non-structural seismic vulnerabilities. Given a limited budget and other ... -
Estimation of Seismic Drift Demands in Torsional Structures
(2019)A method is proposed to estimate seismic drift demand in structures with strong torsional irregularities. The method is simple by design. It follows from the method of Velocity of Displacement (VOD) that was developed by ... -
Validation of ground motion simulations via response history analysis of special moment resisting frames using an automated workflow
(2019)Validation is an essential step to assess the applicability of simulated ground motions for utilization in engineering practice, and a comprehensive analysis should include both simple intensity measures (PGA, SA, etc), ... -
Synthetic study of Full Waveform Seismic Tomography for geophysical velocity model in Canterbury region based on the Adjoint-Wavefield method
(2019)In this paper we apply Full waveform tomography (FWT) based on the Adjoint-Wavefield (AW) method to iteratively invert a 3-D geophysical velocity model for the Canterbury region (Lee, 2017) from a simple initial model. The ... -
Capturing the Influence of Soil Density on Surface Fault Rupture Propagation using the Discrete Element Method
(2019)The relative density of a granular soil medium has an important influence on its mechanism of shear deformation. Dense soils tend to shear in a brittle manner with distinct localization; whereas, loose soils tend to show ... -
Seismic Retrofit of Automated Storage Systems in a High-Tech Fabrication Plant
(2019)The Stockers (STK) in a clean room environment are used for automatic storage in several high-tech factories and should be operational after an earthquake. However, STK are vulnerable to earthquake based on the Taiwan ... -
Performance of Earthquake Damage Beams Repaired via Epoxy Injection
(2019)The purpose of this research is to investigate men’s experiences of the 2016 7.8 magnitude Kaikōura earthquake and Tsunami. While, research into the impacts of the earthquake has been conducted, few studies have examined ... -
"Puck it up and do your role" Men and the Kaikōura Earthquake
