Following the large scale demolition of buildings in Christchurch after the 2010/2011 earthquake series, many of the buildings in the Christchurch rebuild are supported by structural steel framing. These steel buildings include BRB systems, EBF systems with replaceable active links, rocking systems, base isolation using friction pendulum systems and/or lead-rubber dissipaters, RBS beams, lead extrusion dissipaters, yielding flexural dissipaters, and friction connections. Some interesting structural systems are described, and concerns about a number of currently used systems are discussed. Research being conducted in NZ to address some of these issues is listed. Also, it is shown that subjective quantitative tools, rather than purely probabilistic ones, may be more useful to engineers. Also, some suggestions to make NZ low damage structures more robust are described.
