Seismic Demands on Sprinkler Piping Systems: Findings from a Shake Table Testing Program & Relevance to NZ Standards
Fire sprinkler piping systems have intricate layouts on building floors that lead to complex distribution of demands in various segments of the system under seismic floor excitation. The New Zealand
Seismic Performance of ‘Rocking’ Dual-slot Track Internal Partition Walls with Concealed Joints Under Lateral Cyclic Drift Demands
This paper reports the seismic performance of two ‘rocking’ internal plasterboard partition wall specimens comprising dual-slot tracks (DST) with a) sacrificial L-trim (SLT) joints and b) boxed end-studs and standard
Non-structural Elements Need Seismic Standards
Engineers have come a long way in ensuring that the skeleton of a building does not fracture in an earthquake. However, work is now needed for our buildings to also
Seismic Performance Characterization of Fire Sprinkler Piping Systems Through Shake Table Testing
Fire sprinkler systems damaged during earthquakes can compromise the functionality of a building facility either by loss of fire protection and/or by damage due to flooding. Shake table tests were
DATA601 Photogrammetry and Semantic Machine Learning for Construction Site Monitoring
Each year, there are around 6000 injuries on the New Zealand construction site that have resulted in more than a week away from work [1]. It is critical for the
Defect Level Condition Modelling of Sewer Pipes
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various factors, including age, diameter, and slope on the prevenance of eight defect categories in the transmission sewer network
Defect Assessment of Sewer Pipes
Eight categories of defects were identified in 2817 sewer pipes in Auckland, New Zealand based on recent CCTV inspection reports. The correlation between eight defect categories and several physical and
Consistent Classification System for Sewer Pipe Deterioration and Asset Management
Sewer pipe deterioration is driven by a finite number of root causes and processes. Thus, it should be both feasible and advantageous to have a uniform classification system that can
