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

SUMMARY:GIS FOR GEOTECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS
DESCRIPTION:The NZ Geotechnical Society is offering a one-day short course on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with a focus on geotechnical applications. \nThe course will introduce attendees to GIS functionality\, cover basic theory and work through a series of exercises with real geotechnical data to develop geotechnical models.  By the end of the day each applicant will be able to open\, create and recycle GIS projects\, discover and import data\, analyse relationships between data sets and produce maps and cross-sections suitable for reports and presentations. \nAttendees will also work with LiDAR\, an exciting dataset that is revolutionising the understanding of landscapes and sites and use this to create your first 3D model. \nGeotechnical practitioners with GIS skills are in increasing demand\, so this could be your opportunity for professional development. \nGeotechnical practitioners (particularly engineers and geologists) at all levels of prior experience and training in GIS will benefit from the course\, even those without any GIS experience or training in the past. For others managing GIS staff\, there is much to be gained by learning more about what your GIS team can do for your business. Attendees should have prior computer experience. \nThe course will also benefit those who are GIS analysts/specialists. Your communication with your geotechnical colleagues will be improved and some of the additional capabilities of GIS will be show cased\, so that you can do more advanced and challenging tasks in the geotechnical space in the future. For those GIS specialists who do not have a strong geotechnical background\, this is your opportunity to learn what your geotechnical colleagues really want to know. \nThe course will a be led by Colin Mazengarb\, an engineering-geologist residing in Hobart with over 20 years GIS experience.  Colin will be assisted on the day by experienced GIS specialists. The specialists are kindly granted by WSP Opus (Auckland and Wellington) and Tonkin & Taylor (Christchurch). \nThe course was recently presented in Melbourne and Sydney by the Australian Geomechanics Society\, with great success. \n For more details about the course please download and read the attached flyer. The flyer includes links for online registration through the Engineering New Zealand website.  \nPrice $350 +GST for NZGS\, NZSEE\, SESOC and NZSOLD members $650 + GST for non-NZGS\, NZSEE\, SESOC and NZSOLD members \nKindly sponsored by WSP Opus – Geotechnics – Beca – Engineering NZ – Tonkin & Taylor

SUMMARY:Guidance for potentially liquefaction-prone land
DESCRIPTION:Ministry of Business\, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) released the guidance in 2017. This was developed collaboratively by MBIE with the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) and the Earthquake Commission (EQC)\, and other key parties. Engineering New Zealand with the funding support of EQC are pleased to offer this subsidised course which will bring planning and engineering professionals together to learn how to put the guidance in to practice. \nCourse Objectives and Learning Outcomes\nThe day will start with some basic presentation sessions to introduce the guidance.  It will then progress to hands-on group work to develop understanding of the technical assessment process and its application to planning and decision making. This also helps to develop the collaborative skills\, experience and cross-discipline networks required to implement the guidance effectively in different decision-making contexts. \nAfter the course it is expected that: \n\nengineers will be able to communicate information about the technical assessment in a manner that can be understood by planners (and then in turn be explained to other stakeholders and decision makers)\nplanners will be able to communicate to engineers the planning or consent decision contexts for which technical information is required\nengineers and planners will have the skills to collaborate to agree the appropriate scope of work for technical assessments required to support specific plan and decision-making processes (a meeting of minds about “fitness for purpose”).\n\nPresenter Information\nThe course will be facilitated by Marje Russ and Mike Jacka from Tonkin + Taylor.\nMarje and Mike were both involved in the development of Planning and engineering guidance for potentially liquefaction-prone land.
