Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1991 The power to classify buildings as earthquake risk has been available to local authorities since 1968. Through provisions in the Local Government Act, local authorities could require owners to strengthen or demolish buildings so classified. Authorities throughout New Zealand have progressively taken up these powers and many unreinforced masonry ...

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1981 The seismic provisions of the New Zealand Loadings Code are regarded as providing an acceptably low risk to life and property. However, the majority of existing buildings do not meet these requirements, some to a disturbing degree. The paper describes a selection of buildings both pre- and post- 1935 which were assessed by the authors' firm for ...
