Abstract The New Zealand Strong Motion Database provides a wealth of new strong motion
data for engineering applications. In order to utilise these data in ground motion prediction …

Deep (+ 500-m) shear wave velocity (VS) profiles were developed at 14 sites throughout
Christchurch, New Zealand, using a combination of active-and passive-source surface wave …

This paper discusses simulated ground motion intensity, and its underlying modelling
assumptions, for great earthquakes on the Alpine Fault. The simulations utilise the latest …

Deep (typically> 1,000 m) shear wave velocity (VS) profiles were developed across the
Canterbury region of New Zealand at nine strong-motion stations using a combination of …

This study presents a generic model for constructing shear-wave velocity (VS) profiles for
various conditions that can be used for modeling the upper-crustal modification effects in …

A high-resolution near-surface shear wave velocity (V s) model is developed for the
Christchurch, New Zealand region through the application of a recently developed …

In this paper, we perform hybrid broadband (0-10 Hz) ground motion simulations for the ten
most significant events (Mw 4.7-7.1) in the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence …

Recent field investigations were carried out to define the shear wave velocity (VS) profile
and site periods across the Canterbury region, supplementing earlier efforts in urban …

Earthquake recordings (vertical component of motion) by the dense urban accelerographs
stations of the UPAN network (Patras, Greece) were utilized for estimation of the deep (∼ 10 …

The combination of well-documented liquefaction response during the Darfield and
Christchurch, New Zealand, earthquakes, densely-recorded ground motions for the events …
