A case study of Soil-Foundation-Structure-Interaction for aseismic design of wind turbines
(2022-04-27)Wind farms in New Zealand have a combined capacity of about 690 MW and supply around 6% of New Zealand’s annual electricity generation. This is about the amount of electricity 300,000 kiwi homes use in a year. Wind farms ... -
Application of resilient rocking cores in low damage mass timber structures: A case study
(2022-04-27)The application of mass timber structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) has significantly increased in the last few years owing to their many architectural and structural advantages, ... -
Ductile timber connections: Understanding the factors contributing to their ductility
(2022-04-27)It is well accepted that ductility in a timber structure is achieved through its conections as the behaviour of timber is inherently brittle. It is thus important to understand the diferent parameters that contribute to ... -
Sustainability Aspects of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering in New Zealand
(2022-04-27)Geotechnical engineering is a resource intensive sector of civil engineering that has a substantial effect on sustainability aspects of many transport, building, water and power projects. Improving sustainability of the ... -
Sustainability in enhancing the resilience of major route in Wellington
(2022-04-27)Uncertainty in the seismicity of Wellington and climate change were key issues that influenced the design of strengthening of a key arterial route in Wellington. The abstract describes the innovations and technology adopted ...
