Framework development for a hybrid geotechnical-geospatial liquefaction assessment model
Adding site-specific considerations into broader, non-site-specific assessments, to classify sites based on liquefaction occurrence and damage severity.
A Practice-Oriented Floor Response Spectrum Prediction Method for Seismic Design of Non‑Structural Elements
A refined method for predicting the behaviour of non-structural building elements during an earthquake.
Shear Strength of reinforced concrete Columns with External Post-tensioned Clamps
This study investigates an alternative method to retrofit reinforced concrete (RC) columns with insufficient shear reinforcement.
Critical Infrastructure Recovery: Key Lessons
This brief provides advice for managing critical infrastructure recovery programmes including governance and operational management, recovery work sequencing and resourcing, information needs and engagement.
Seismic Protection of Artefacts with Adhesives and Base-Isolation
This study provides guidance to determine the size and number of adhesives required for a cultural artefact to survive design-level earthquake shaking.
A framework for modelling the probability of flooding under levee breaching
W.Wallace, K. Crawford-Flett, M. Wilson, T. Logan. 2024. A framework for modelling the probability of flooding under levee breaching. Journal of Flood Risk Management. DOI:…
Fracture of beam-column connections with cope holes under large cyclic deformations
Strong earthquake shaking of steel structures can impose significant cyclic demands on steel elements, leading to fracture and collapse. This study describes the use, calibration, and verification of models to describe the 'ductile fracture' behaviour of steel components subjected to large displacement cycles.
Simplified seismic loss assessment using limit state loss-intensity models
A simplified damage-state loss vs. intensity approach for practicing engineers to estimate expected annual losses.
Quasi-Static Cyclic Testing of a Drift-Sensitive Sub-Assembly of Non-Structural Elements with Low-Damage Characteristics
Testing the seismic performance of a new precast concrete cladding system as a low-damage alternative to conventional systems.

Shallow groundwater characterisation and hydrograph classification in the coastal city of Ōtautahi/Christchurch, New Zealand
This study investigates spatial and temporal trends in groundwater depth, and the relationship to natural and anthropogenic stressors, using a case-study in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, New Zealand.
Modelling of residential house perimeter foundation beams subjected to ground deformations
This study evaluates the behaviour of several perimeter foundation beam sections subjected to liquefaction-induced ground deformations, and considers damage implications for the house above.
