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 ... -
Gendering Economic and Financial Governance through Positive Action Measures: The Compatibility of the French Real Equality Measure with the European Union Framework
(SAGE Publications, 2015)© 2015 SAGE Publications. The number of female directors on the boards of large listed companies in the European Union (EU) is very low and progress towards equal participation and representation of women and men on company ... -
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 ... -
Cyclic tests of glulam frames with buckling restrained braces
(2020)In this study, an attempt was made to integrate BRBs to glulam frames to provide strength, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. Two 8 m wide, 3.6 m high full-scale BRB glulam frame (BRBGF) specimens were designed ... -
Investigating the compressive toe of post-tensioned CLT core-walls using particle tracking technology
(2020)Post-tensioned timber technology was originally developed and researched at the University of Canterbury (UC) in New Zealand in 2005. It can provide a low-damage seismic design solution for multi-storey mass timber ... -
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 ... -
Mātauranga Māori refines perceptions of landscape healing following major disturbances
(2020)Major disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunami and anthropogenic activity have the potential to cause significant landscape modifications. Typically, the concept of landscape healing is understood ... -
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 ... -
An updated survey on the use of geospatial technologies in New Zealand’s plantation forestry sector
(2020)Background: Geospatial technologies have developed rapidly in recent decades and can provide detailed, accurate data to support forest management. Knowledge of the uptake of geospatial technologies, as well as barriers to ... -
Assembling the actors: exploring the challenges of ‘system leadership’ in education through Actor-Network Theory
(Informa UK Limited, 2017)This paper presents insights into the leadership implications of recent shifts in a range of policy contexts towards notions of collaboration and partnership. The paper draws on empirical research into the formation and ... -
The Estimation of Radiation Exposure for Arcsecond Pico Star Tracker (APST) in Low Earth Orbit
(2016)In general COTS components have radiation tolerance of 1-10 Krad/year and untested components which are made up of silicon is estimated to have radiation tolerance up to 5 Krad. The primary idea of this paper is to estimate ... -
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 ... -

The contribution of field education towards professional capability
(Routledge, 2021)Using qualitative data from recent research conducted in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) this chapter reports on the centrality of field education for developing social work professional capability and readiness to practice ... -
Mental Health, and Rural Practice: A Perspective from New Zealand.
(Springer, 2020)This chapter provides an analysis of rural social work in mental health with a particular focus on anti-oppressive practice. The chapter is written within the Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) context and as such addresses cultural ... -
Nox emission performance assessment on a perforated plate-implemented premixed ammonia-oxygen micro-combustion system
(2020)The present work examines the NOx emission characteristics of a premixed micro-combustion system with a perforated plate implemented. For this, a three-dimensional (3D) computational model involving a detailed chemical-kinetic ... -
