The Historic Development of Earthquake Engineering in New Zealand
Abstract eng: This paper traces the development of earthquake engineering in New Zealand from the first European settlers to the present day, although focusing primarily on the period from 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake. The development of building standards over the years will be reported, along with more specific detail on the development of innovative design principles and solutions, such as the employment of capacity design principles, the formulation of engineering-based design standards for house structures, and the development of base isolation systems for structures. The formation of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering and the role that it has played in the improvement of earthquake engineering practices in New Zealand will also be included.
