These guidelines for Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering Practice in New Zealand were originated by a working group of the New Zealand Geotechnical Society. The idea for the working group came from a panel discussion ‘Geotechnical Seismic Design Standards’ which took place during the NZGS Biennial Symposium ‘Earthquakes and Urban…
ABSTRACT The Magnitude (Mw) 7.8 Kaikōura earthquake struck the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand in November 2016, resulting in widespread damage to the slopes along the Kaikōura coast. Many of the subsequent remediation measures relied on rock anchors, and a significant…
. ABSTRACT The Jeffreys water supply pump station comprises replacement of the earthquake-damaged 200m3 concrete suction tank with a new 500m3 tank. Ground conditions at the site predominately comprise interbedded alluvial silt and sand in the surficial 8.75m, underlain by dense sandy gravel. Surficial soils…
