It was shown that the numerical modelling results were well-matched with the observed earthquake damage. As a result, it was concluded that the adopted numerical modelling approach can be implemented for the seismic assessment of existing non-ductile RCFMI buildings across New Zealand....

In this study we aimed to produce the first detailed analysis of the epidemiology of the severe injury and mortality impacts of the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake in New Zealand (NZ). This involved the compilation and analysis of archival data (hospitalisations and deaths) including the examination...
The results of this study therefore have implications for our understanding of earthquake occurrence in other low strain rate regions in Aotearoa New Zealand (e.g. Waikato; Villamor et al. Citation2024) and beyond (e.g. Australia; Clark et al. Citation2012; the USA’s Basin and Range ...
Head to the lowest level of the Old Public Trust Building. Under a section of glass floor are the remains of Plimmers Ark, a triple-masted sailing ship that was pushed ashore in 1855 during the big earthquake. It was discovered when retrofitting the building in 1997-99. ...
