  • Current Direction for Improving Structural Engineering and Resiliency in New Zealand
    CURRENT DIRECTION FOR IMPROVING STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING AND RESILIENCY IN NEW ZEALAND Mike Stannard Chief Engineer Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment, New Zealand Abstract The 2010 to 2011 Canterbury Earthquake sequence has been the most destructive earthquake New Zealand has experienced in recent times. Rebuild costs are estimated at $40 billion or 20% of New Zealand’s GDP, 185 people died, and much of the Christchurch Central Business District, New Zealand’s second largest city, needs to be rebuilt. Approximately 170,000 houses have needed to be repaired or rebuilt and some eight thousand properties have been red zoned. It has been one of the most complex insurance events world-wide. While the social and economic consequences have been very significant and sometimes tragic, it has presented a real opportunity to learn from the event and better understand building and land performance during earthquake shaking. Generally modern buildings performed well from a life-safety perspective with New Zealand having been a leader in capacity design principles. However, plastic hinging, uncertainty about the residual capacity of buildings and poor ground performance have led to high demolition numbers. The New Zealand Government initiated a Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission of Inquiry after the February 2011 damaging event. Their final report presented 189 recommendations, providing an important direction towards improving structural engineering and resiliency. Changes are being made to structural design standards where under-performance has been observed. Earthquake-prone building legislation has been changed, requiring retrofitting or removal of the most vulnerable buildings throughout New Zealand. Reviews of the Building Code requirements are also underway which may test the societal appetite for changes to code settings.

  • A Tale of Missed Chances
    A tale of missed chances The Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission did not set out to apportion blame for the Canterbury Television building collapse, but several key parties will be uneasy at its findings. The commissioners pointed to errors and problems over many decades which contributed to a under-engineered building and flawed structure. The building collapsed when the magnitude-6.3 quake hit on February 22, 2011. It was a failure that caused the deaths of 115 people. It started with the design of the building and supervision of a relatively inexperienced struc- tural engineer. Further, the building should not have been issued a permit but pressure allegedly applied to consenting staff in the Christ- church City Council meant concerns raised were apparently ignored. The design flaws were missed by those building the CTV structure, and added to some non- conforming construction prac- tices not picked up by the absentee construction manager, fake engineer Gerald Shirtcliff. That alone makes for ‘‘grim and sobering reading’’, as Prime Minister John Key labelled yesterday’s report, but the most frustrating part was yet to come. In 1990, an engineer noticed the floors were not properly connected to the support walls. Here was something structurally wrong. The strengthening work was carried out in November 1991, nearly two years after the weakness was found, but not enough was done. The commissioners noted an opportunity lost: ‘‘It should have been apparent . that the report was not a full review of the struc- tural integrity of the building.’’ The Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission report, which STEPS TO TRAGEDY is the result of an eight-week hearing by the commissioners, will be difficult reading for the Victims of the Canterbury Design Consent Construction Retrofit Inspection families of those who died.

Hence it is important that people working in disaster management and housing improve their understanding on how the living situations of apartment dwellers influence their disaster management practices. This knowledge is crucial for efforts to promote safety and preparedness. This paper explores what enables and constrains apartment dwellers in their ability to prepare for an earthquake. Eighteen people were interviewed who resided in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington) two years after the 2016 7.8 magnitude (Mw) Kaikoura¯ earthquake. Of central concern was people’s ability to prepare for disasters and access knowledge about building and structural safety and how this knowledge mattered to what apartment dwellers were able to Citation: Blake, D.; Becker, J.S.; prepare for. We found that the agency to prepare was dependent on whether people owned or rented Hodgetts, D.; Elwood, K.J.

  • USAR Engineering Response to the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake
    USAR Engineering Response to the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake Peter McBean, Wallbridge and Gilbert Consulting Engineers John L Wilson, Swinburne University of Technology Abstract This paper provides an overview of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake with particular reference to the Urban Search and Rescue operations. The USAR operations involved some 700 specialist personnel from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, USA, UK, China, Taiwan and Singapore, comprising Technicians, Engineers, Doctors, hazard experts and Police with search dogs. The USAR response lasted some four weeks and the paper describes the three distinct phases comprising; rescue, victim recovery and city/suburb safe operations. The Magnitude 6.3 Lyttelton earthquake struck within 10 kilometres of Christchurch CBD and caused massive damage to buildings and lifelines with some 184 confirmed deaths and a repair bill in the order of $15-20 billion dollars. AEES 2011 Conference 1. Earthquake Overview The Magnitude 6.3 Lyttelton earthquake struck within 10 kilometres of central Christchurch at 12:51pm on Tuesday 22 February, 2011 and caused massive damage and 184 confirmed deaths. This event was a severe aftershock of the Mn7.1 Darfield earthquake that struck on 4 September 2010, some 40 kilometres from the city centre. The city of Christchurch with a population of 350,000 people and 140,000 homes is located on an alluvial plain with around a 50 metre depth of fine silts, sands and gravels and a very high water table. The Mn6.3 event was essentially a ‘bullseye’ event that violently shook the city with peak ground velocities in the order of 400 mm/second and very high vertical accelerations in the order of 1.0g.

    Manuscript Click here to download Manuscript: Observations of Damage From Mw 6 Christchurch earthquake_revision1.docClick here to view linked References OBSERVATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF DAMAGE FROM THE MAGNITUDE MW 6.3 CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND EARTHQUAKE OF 22ND FEBRUARY 2011 Sean Wilkinson, Damian Grant, Elizabeth Williams, Sara Paganoni, Stuart Fraser, David Boon, Anna Mason, Matthew Free ABSTRACT This paper describes the observations made by a reconnaissance team following the 22nd February 2011, Mw 6.3, Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake (GNS Science; 2011). The team comprised of members of the UK based Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) who spent five days collecting observations on damage resulting from the earthquake. Although the magnitude of this earthquake was not particularly high (Mw 6.3), the shallow focus and close proximity resulted in locally very high ground motions, widespread damage and 182 fatalities. The earthquake is also particularly notable for the widespread liquefaction it caused, landslides and rockfalls in the hills south of Christchurch, and the significant damage suffered by unreinforced masonry and historic structures. Over wide areas of central Christchurch, recorded accelerations were in excess of those required by the current New Zealand seismic loadings standard (NZS1170.5:2004): Standards New Zealand (2004), and therefore the earthquake presented a valuable opportunity to assess performance of modern buildings under code-level ground acceleration. INTRODUCTION th At 04:35 (local time) on the 4 September 2010 the province of Canterbury suffered a magnitude Mw 7.1 earthquake. The epicentre of this earthquake was approximately 40 km West of Christchurch near the town of Darfield (GNS Science, 2010).
