The city of Christchurch, New Zealand, and surrounding areas were heavily shaken. It is the most damaging earthquake in New Zealand since the Hawke's Bay earthquake in 1931, but there has been no loss of life. The earthquake occurred on an unknown fault. Although the earthquake was quite strong and happened in a populated region, two people were only injured. However, extensive ground liquefaction was observed in the city of Christchurch and Kaiapoi, causing extensive damage to buried lifelines and residential houses. Figure 1: Location of the earthquake epicenter 3 2 Geography The epicenter of the earthquake was near Darfield in the Canterbury Region of the South Island of New Zealand.

  • Rockfall in the Port Hills of Christchurch: Seismic and Non-Seismic Fatality Risk on Roads.: Rockfall Fatality Risks in the Port
    New Zealand Geographer (2018) 74,3–14 doi:10.1111/nzg.12170 Research Article Rockfall in the Port Hills of Christchurch: Seismic and non-seismic fatality risk on roads Stefan Unterrader,1,2 Peter Almond,2 and Sven Fuchs1 1Institute of Mountain Risk Engineering, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria, 2Lincoln University, Private Bag 85084, Lincoln, New Zealand Abstract: Numerous rockfalls released during the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence affected vital road sections for local commuters. We quantified rockfall fatality risk on two main routes by adapting a risk approach for roads originally developed for snow avalanche risk. We present results of the collective and individual fatality risks for traffic flow and waiting traffic. Waiting traffic scenarios particularly address the critical spatial-temporal dynamics of risk, which should be acknowledged in operational risk management. Comparing our results with other risks commonly experienced in New Zealand indicates that local rockfall risk is close to tolerability thresholds and likely exceeds acceptable risk. Key words: fatalities, natural hazard, quantitative risk analysis, road infrastructure, rockfall. Introduction was quantified for residential homes exposed on a suburb scale following the landslide risk management framework The 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence triggered widespread mass movements in the Port Hills area of introduced by Fell et al.

  • Lessons Learnt from 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes: Analysis and Assessment of Bridges
    319 LESSONS LEARNT FROM 2011 CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKES: ANALYSIS AND ASSESSMENT OF BRIDGES Alessandro Palermo1, Liam Wotherspoon2, John Wood3, Howard Chapman4, Allan Scott5, Lucas Hogan6, Anton Kivell7, Elena Camnasio8, Mark Yashinsky9, Michel Bruneau10 and Nawawi Chouw11 SUMMARY On 22 February 2011 the Mw6.2 Christchurch earthquake occurred with an epicentre less than 10 km from the Christchurch Central Business District (CBD) on an unknown buried fault at the edge of the city. The majority of damage was a result of lateral spreading along the Avon and Heathcote Rivers, with few bridges damaged due to ground shaking only. The most significant damage was to bridges along the Avon River, coinciding with the areas of the most severe liquefaction, with less severe liquefaction damage developing along the Heathcote River. Most affected were bridge approaches, abutments and piers, with a range of damage levels identified across the bridge stock. In the days following the earthquake, teams from various organizations performed inspections on over 800 bridges throughout the affected Canterbury region. This paper details the preliminary findings based on visual inspections and some preliminary analyses of highway and road bridges. The paper comprises information supplied by consulting engineering firms which were also directly involved in the inspections soon after the earthquake. 1 Senior Lecturer, Dept. of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, University of Canterbury (Member) 2 Research Fellow, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland (Member) 3 John Wood Consulting, Lower Hutt (Life Member) 4 New Zealand Transport Agency, Wellington (Life Member) 5 Lecturer, Dept. of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, University of Canterbury 6 PhD Student, Dept.

    “ lyttelton review “ lyttelton harbour community update www.lytteltonharbour.info 11 June 2012 E44 Lyttelton Shines The party that’s meant to be! Each year we manage to dodge the inclement weather with skies clearing and the blue sky rolling over the township. The celebrations got off to a wonderful start at Tommy Changs Thursday evening. In the atmospheric back room where the old and new blend, the festival team, invited guests and the community mingled to the sounds of The Greyhounds. It was Lyttelton at its best. Christchurch joined the party Friday evening for the now famous Street Party. No shortage of food and drink this year and with more venues opened the street had a wonderful vibe. Hang Up Entertainment Services did a wonderful job with the lighting. Did you notice the black and white outlines of the Empire and Harbour Light Theatre? Great to see so many community groups with stalls on the street. Both schools were there along with Lyttelton Harbour Community Civil Defence, Project Lyttelton, Lyttelton TimeBank, Lyttelton Lions, Lyttelton Youth Centre and Lyttelton Rotary. St John, the Coastguard, Fire Service and Lyttelton Sea Scouts also participated. Juliet Neill, the puppets and all her willing helpers opened the night with their always spectacular mask parade and then roaming characters. Thanks to all the local children who participated. This is such a great way to start the evening entertainment. Lyttelton Port of Christchurch delighted the crowd with their wonderful firework display again. For many this is the highlight of the evening and a great opportunity for LPC to celebrate with the community the wonderful place that we all share.
