This project has investigated critical earthquake risk detailing in New Zealand’s multi-storey building stock, based on discussions with leading New Zealand structural consultants, material suppliers, archivists and historians. Critical details are presented with reference to steel, unreinforced masonry and concrete and precast concrete construction, based upon their prevalence throughout New Zealand and the perceived degree of seismic risk associated with the details.
The findings are presented in a paper presented at the NZSEE annual conference, March 2006.
