Seismic strengthening of the Seatoun Tunnel
(2022-04-27)The Seatoun tunnel is a 147m long, vehicle and pedestrian tunnel built in 1906-1907 to provide a tram connection between the suburb of Seatoun the city of Wellington. In 2011, the Seatoun tunnel structure was assessed as ... -
Seismic structural monitoring in Wellington using advanced seismological techniques
(2022-04-27)Sklodowska et al. (2021) employed advanced seismological techniques usually applied to Earth studies to the Te Puni building (instrumented as part of the GeoNet building instrumentation programme) for the 2009-2017 ... -
Shake Table Tests of a Six-Span Steel Bridge Model for Nonlinerality Identification
(2022-04-27)Most of real structures exhibit nonlinear behaviour during their lifetime. Nonlinear behaviour of a structure can be as a result of a local effect (friction in joints, joint and link flexibility, and nonlinear contact) or ... -
Social Influences on behavioural response to earthquake shaking
(2022-04-27)Many earthquake injuries in Aotearoa New Zealand occur because people either do not act quickly to protect themselves or act in a way which can lead to harm. Earthquakes are an uncertain context in which to make behavioural ... -
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 ... -
Sustainability Aspects of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering in New Zealand
(2022-04-27)Geotechnical engineering is a resource intensive sector of civil engineering that has a substantial effect on sustainability aspects of many transport, building, water and power projects. Improving sustainability of the ... -
Sustainability in enhancing the resilience of major route in Wellington
(2022-04-27)Uncertainty in the seismicity of Wellington and climate change were key issues that influenced the design of strengthening of a key arterial route in Wellington. The abstract describes the innovations and technology adopted ... -
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) ... -
The shaky south (or not): towards improving communities understanding of earthquake risk in Otago and Southland
(2022-04-27)Understanding how people interpret and respond to earthquake risks is vital to any strategy for earthquake risk reduction. Acknowledging that there is a wide range of interpretations of risk is important in determining how ... -
Wellington region land transport resilience business case
(2022-04-27)The high seismicity, rugged terrain and an increasingly adverse climate exacerbated by climate change mean that the capital city Wellington’s transport system has severe deficiencies in its resilience to natural and ...
