A Framework for the Seismic Ratings of Non-structural Elements in Buildings
Research into the seismic performance of non-structural elements over the past decade in New Zealand has identified a number of areas in which changes should be made. download output
Design, Construction and Seismic Performance of Non-Structural Elements
An extensive strategic review was undertaken of the current state of the design, coordination and construction of non-structural elements in New Zealand’s construction industry. Also included was a review of
Shake Table Testing Plan For Multiple Non-structural Elements & Contents in a Low-damage Structural Steel Building
The Robust Building Systems (ROBUST) project is aimed at enhancing the seismic resilience of buildings by introducing and validating low-damage concepts for the structural and non-structural elements (NSEs). download output
Experimental Investigations into the Fragility of Commercial Glazing Systems in NZ
Probabilistic assessment methods, such as those described in the FEMA P-58 framework, underpin modern performance based earthquake engineering. Such assessment permits quantification of useful seismic risk metrics, such as the
Experimental Validation of a Low-Damage Rocking Precast Concrete Cladding System
Several concrete cladding panels were damaged during the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes in New Zealand. Damage included partial collapse of panels, rupture of joint sealants, cracking and corner crushing. Installation errors,
Performance of Precast Cladding Panels with Rocking Connections Under Lateral Cyclic Loading
Several concrete cladding panels were damaged during the 2011 Christchurch Earthquakes in New Zealand. Damage included partial collapse of panels, rupture of joint sealants, cracking and corner crushing. Installation errors,

Location Standards for Utilities in New Zealand
The purpose of this paper, compiled by OpenWork Ltd (OWL) on behalf of Quake Centre, is to support and further progress the implementation of a robust standard that allows the
Natural Language Processing for Building Code Interpretation: A Systematic Literature Review
Short Version Building codes enforce a minimum quality level for buildings to ensure the safety of building occupants. Automated code compliance checking (ACCC) can guarantee the consistent application of all
