    Insights into the liquefaction hazard in Napier and Hastings based on the assessment of data from the 1931 Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, earthquake M. El Kortbawi & R.A. Green Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, USA L. Wotherspoon Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Auckland, NZ S. van Ballegooy Tonkin & Taylor Ltd, PO Box 527, Auckland, NZ ABSTRACT: Hawke’s Bay is situated on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand and has experienced several earthquakes in the past during which triggered liquefaction. The 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake is par- ticularly interesting because it was one of the most damaging earthquakes and the deadliest earthquake in New Zealand’s history. This study provides insights into the actual versus predicted liquefaction hazard in Napier and Hastings. Towards this end, the simplified Cone Penetration Test (CPT)-based liquefaction triggering eval- uation procedure proposed by Boulanger & Idriss (2014) (BI14) is used in conjunction with Liquefaction Se- verity Number (LSN) framework to predict severity of surficial liquefaction manifestations across the region for the 1931 MS7.8 Hawke’s Bay event. A comparison of the results with post-event observations suggests that the liquefaction hazard is being over-predicted. One possible cause for this over-prediction includes the short- comings liquefaction damage potential frameworks to predict the severity of surficial liquefaction manifesta- tions in silty soil deposits. This study demonstrates how historical earthquake accounts in a region can be used to assess the risk of the region from future earthquakes. 1 INTRODUCTION have occurred in the region following the 1863 South- ern Hawke’s Bay earthquake, 1904 Cape Turnagain The objective of the study presented herein is to pro- earthquake, 1921 Central Hawke’s Bay earthquake, vide insights into the actual versus predicted liquefac- 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, and the 1932 Wairoa tion hazard of Hawke’s Bay (i.e.

  • History Time Line of Napier and Hawke's
    HISTORY TIME LINE OF NAPIER AND HAWKE’S BAY A partial timeline of Napier and Hawke’s Bay 1769-1974. Port Ahuriri 1866 by Charles Decimus Barraud, 1822-1897: A view from Bluff Hill, Napier, looking north down to Westshore and Port Ahuriri. There are houses on a spit of land surrounded by water and further low- lying islands without houses. A steam ship and a number of sailing ships can be seen in the harbor. Ref: D-040-002. Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, New Zealand. /records/32199839 Introduction: Ngāti Kahungunu trace their origins to the Tākitimu waka, which arrived in Aotearoa from Rarotonga around 1100-1200 AD. Tamatea Ariki Nui, the captain of Tākitimu, settled in Tauranga, and is buried on top of Mauao, called Mount Maunganui today. Tamatea Ariki Nui had a son called Rongokako, and he had a son called Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana, which means “Tamatea explorer of land and sea.” It is from Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana that we have the longest place name, located at Porongahau – “Taumatawhakatangihangakōauauatamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronuku pokaiwhenuakitānatahu” where Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana played a flute to his lover. It is the son of Tamatea Pokai Whenua Pokai Moana named Kahungunu that Ngāti Kahungunu comes from. Kahungunu travelled widely and eventually settled on the East Coast. His grandson Rakaihikuroa, migrated with his son Taraia, their families and followers, from Nukutaurua on the Māhia Peninsula to Heretaunga (Hawke’s Bay area). Eventually, Heretaunga was brought under the control of his people, who became the first Ngāti Kahungunu as we know it today in Hawke’s Bay.

PLANNING NAPIER 1850–1968 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand John Barry Annabell 2012 Abstract In the context of New Zealand planning history, planning can be seen in two forms. Informal planning describes planning-related activities already taking place before the establishment of formal town planning in the early 20th century. Formal planning describes planning activities based on legislation, a developing body of knowledge, and a planning profession. Whether informal or formal, planning has been concerned with the arrangement and control of activities in space, with the objective of creating a better living environment. For Napier, a provincial centre, the influence of planning on the growth and development of the town is discussed in terms of four principal themes, covering the period from the birth of the town in the 1850s until 1968. These themes are reclamation, reconstruction, suburban growth, and place promotion/civic improvement. Reclamation planning was important, given that the original town was almost totally surrounded by sea or swamp, with insufficient land for future expansion. A major earthquake in 1931 destroyed the business area of Napier, but helped solve the expansion problem by raising the level of land so that reclamation became easier or was now unnecessary.

    Insights into the Liquefaction Hazards in Napier and Hastings Based on the Assessment of Data from the 1931 Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand Earthquake by Maya El Kortbawi Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Civil Engineering Russell A. Green Adrian Rodriguez-Marek Nina Stark May 8th, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Liquefaction, Hawke’s Bay, 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, Groundwater Model Copyright © 2017, Maya El Kortbawi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Insights into the Liquefaction Hazards in Napier and Hastings Based on the Assessment of Data from the 1931 Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand Earthquake Maya El Kortbawi ABSTRACT Hawke’s Bay is situated on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand and has experienced several earthquakes in the past during which liquefaction occurred. The 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake is particularly interesting because it was the deadliest and one of the most damaging earthquakes in New Zealand’s history. The study presented herein provides insights into the liquefaction hazards in Napier and Hastings based on the assessment of data from the 1931 Hawke’s Bay event. Previous studies on the liquefaction hazard of the region have been performed, but the present work differs from those in that the liquefaction triggering and severity procedures are used to see if they can accurately predict observations from the 1931 event. Towards this end, the Cone Penetration Test (CPT)-based liquefaction triggering evaluations are used in liquefaction vulnerability assessment frameworks. It was found that liquefaction hazard in Napier is greater than Hastings.
