THE COST OF STRONGER AND STIFFER BUILDINGS IN NZ –
nly one price per element has been considered but different cities and towns will have different prices of up to 15% in some cases. These are preliminary results that will most likely change as the project
Proposed changes to the earthquake-prone building (EPB) system
Proposed legislative changes aimed at making the EPB system more proportionate and cost-effective by focusing on higher seismic risk areas and high-risk building types.
CBA Results for Revised Seismic Risk Mitigation Approach for
While the cost impact of the various options is an important consideration, sight should not be lost of the benefit impacts (fatalities and injuries prevented) that are estimated. The results of the APoE BCRs
Seismic Strengthening & Earthquake-Resistant Construction
How much does seismic strengthening cost in New Zealand? The cost of seismic strengthening varies depending on the building''s size, condition, and required level of strengthening.
Economic Analysis of New Zealand''s Earthquake-Prone Buildings
The Government has called for an independent economic analysis to assess the current system of remediation for earthquake-prone buildings (EPB) in New Zealand which is described in this report.
Building Protection in New Zealand
Base isolation has its origins in New Zealand, but increased seismicity leads to excessive displacements and bearing sizes. Dampers in conjunction with base isolation can reduce displacements by up to
Earthquake-prone building and seismic risk management review
Remediation deadlines for earthquake-prone buildings that had not lapsed as at 2 April 2024 have been extended for 4 years, to allow time for the Review and any subsequent changes to
Impact of seismic demand on construction costs for buildings up to 8
This research aims to understand the true cost of up to 8 storeys high building structures that remain operational after an earthquake.
Proposed changes to the earthquake-prone building (EPB)
This refocused earthquake-prone building system is expected to save New Zealanders more than $8.2 billion in remediation and demolition costs. The changes give effect to recommendations from an
IMPACT OF SEISMIC DEMAND ON CONSTRUCTION COSTS
In some cases, specialised methods and/or software were used. These additional methods mainly consisted of 1) NZ standards, mainly 3101 and 3404, to design the gravity system for wall buildings
