SUMMARY:Canterbury Uni - Applied Hydrogeology - ENGE 414
DESCRIPTION:This course is aimed at engineers and geologists who wish to learn the fundamentals of hydrogeology and groundwater. This course is delivered over three weeks with morning lecture blocks\, field\, lab and computer activities as well as self-directed learning through online course material. Assessments consist of online forums\, reports and poster presentation.   Students successfully completing this course will be able to: 1. Assess hydrogeological controls on groundwater storage and flow. 2. Use a selection of laboratory skills to estimate permeability. 3. Understand the principles and quantification of groundwater movement. 4. Design and interpret pump tests in simple aquifer systems. 5. Have a basic understanding of surface water – groundwater interaction; flow in the unsaturated zone; groundwater chemistry and contaminant transport. 6. Use hand calculations\, computer modelling and physical modelling to simulate groundwater flow and contaminant transport in simple aquifer systems and explore management options. 7. Discuss groundwater resource issues constructively and show familiarity with key journal articles from the international literature. Course coordinator: Marlene Villeneuve Lecturer: Leanne Morgan Guest lecturer: Mike Heap (University of Strasbourg) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:NZGS Geomechanics Lecture (Nelson)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr Misko Cubrinovski \nThe subject of this lecture are three important aspects in the engineering assessment of soil liquefaction\, i.e. material characterization of liquefiable soils\, in-situ state characterization of soils\, and system response of liquefiable deposits. These aspects in the assessment are especially important in the evaluation of liquefiable soils other than uniform clean sands\, such as silts\, silty sands with non-plastic or low-plasticity fines\, gravel-sand-silt mixtures\, and interbedded deposits composed of liquefiable and non-liquefiable soils.

SUMMARY:COLLABORATION IN GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING - IMPACT ON RESEARCH AND PROJECT DELIVERY
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of the 13th Australia New Zealand Conference on Geomechanics\, the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Young Members Presidential Group (YMPG) has teamed up with the Corporate Associates Presidential Group (CAPG) and the New Zealand Geotechnical Society to bring you this panel discussion event. The focus of the event is around the topic of Collaboration in Geotechnical Engineering – Impact on Research and Project delivery. \n  \nAt this interactive session you will hear from the expert panelists\, in regard to the discussion topic\, their views on where the industry currently is\, what we are doing well\, some of the challenges\, and the opportunities to improve. \nKindly Sponsored by Aurecon

SUMMARY:Advancing Seismic Hazard Analysis with Physicsbased modelling: Putting More PHYS into PSHA
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Thomas H. Jordan Southern California Earthquake Centre University of Southern California \nAdvanced applications of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) in California combine fault-based earthquake rupture forecasts with site-specific ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) to estimate long-term seismic shaking probabilities. Both PSHA components have been refined through comprehensive\, iterated studies\, including the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast (UCERF) Project and the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) Project. Although these collaborative efforts have improved our understanding of seismic hazards\, the uncertainties in PSHA forecasts remain high \n

SUMMARY:NZ Geomechanics Award Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Chris McGann \nThe presentation will be given by Chris McGann on his work undertaken with Brendon Bradley\, Merrick Taylor\, Liam Wotherspoon and Misko Cubrinovski\, a summary of which follows. \nSeismic piezocone data are used to investigate the applicability of several existing empirical correlations for predicting soil shear wave velocity (Vs) from cone penetration test (CPT) data\, and ultimately to develop Christchurch-specific CPT-Vs correlations for estimating Vs in both the general alluvial and marine soils in the region and the loess deposits in the Port Hills. The correlations are validated through comparisons to Vs profiles obtained using surface wave analysis methods\, and it is shown that the surface wave Vs and CPT-Vs values compare well in terms of their independently obtained Vs magnitudes.  \n  \nThe CPT-Vs correlations are applied to the large\, high-spatial-density CPT dataset made available through the New Zealand Geotechnical Database to develop regional models of time-averaged shear wave velocity (e.g. Vs30) for the Christchurch region. These regional Vs models are then used to characterise the inherent depth variability of Vs in the region\, to compare typical Vs values for the various geologic units encountered\, and to investigate the effects of the observed depth variability on the expected seismic response for eight sub-regions of Christchurch. The regional models are also used to develop high-resolution site classification maps and to examine relationships between soil shear wave velocity\, soil behaviour type index\, and the severity of surficial evidence of liquefaction in a regional sense.  \nKindly Sponsored by: Miyamoto International NZ

SUMMARY:Rail Tunnel Refurbishment Following the November 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake
DESCRIPTION:Our presenter: \nRafael Sierra Ballen has worked as a construction manager for over thirty years in South America\, the Middle East\, Asia\, Australia and New Zealand for major civil engineering projects as a tunnel design manager and a tunnel construction manager. \nTopics Covered During this Presentation \nFrom a standing start\, following the largest ever recorded earthquake in New Zealand\, a highly committed collaborative team\, assessed the damage across twenty tunnels\, designed the repairs in view of future resilience\, and built a construction capability that delivered the works safely and on budget. Works trains were running again within 7 months\, and commercial services within 10 months. In doing so\, we reconnected communities at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. \nRafa will describe the logistical and technical challenges of refurbishing the rail tunnels in the context of the natural terrain hazards and landslides informed by his experiences of driving the quality and safety outcomes achieved. \nRefreshment kindly sponsored by:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nRefreshments (snacks and soft drinks) will be available from 17:30\, and we will be continuing the discussion after the main event at the Lumsden Bar in Newmarket
