Abstract | This project arose out of the on-going research efforts by the group involving structural engineering academics at the Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne and Swinburne with Geoscience Australia experts all working towards seismic risk reduction in Australia. Most of the research team are actively involved in the revision to the Australian Earthquake Loads standard (AS1170.4) as well as being members of the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society which is a Technical Society of Engineers Australia. The devastating impact of the 2010–11 earthquakes in the Christchurch region on the New Zealand economy and society has further motivated this group to contribute to this CRC’s aims of risk reduction for all natural hazards in Australia. This project addresses the need for an evidence base to inform decision making on the mitigation of the risk posed by the most vulnerable Australian buildings subject to earthquakes. While the focus of this project is on buildings, many of the project outputs will also be relevant for other Australian infrastructure such as bridges, roads and ports, while at the same time complementing other ‘Natural Hazards’ CRC project proposals for severe wind and flood. |
