11 The Christchurch Earthquake Damage to the city Unreinforced Masonary The Christchurch Earthquake Damage to the city Concrete Structures Two reinforced concrete structures in the collapsed, one of these accounted for over half of the total casualties. Collapse of these structures was created by poor seismic detailing 11

12 The Christchurch Earthquake Damage to the city Liquefaction Significant damage to both buildings and infrastructure was created by liquefaction Sections of the city have now been abandoned due to the ground conditions Liquefaction also created significant damage to commercial buildings Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Solid Wood Housing (NOT CLT) Solid wood housing performed very well however serviceability following the event was an issue Although Cross-Lam has become part of the rebuild process, there were no examples in CHCH at the time of the earthquake 12

13 Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Drywall lining Most of the residential building stock, performed very well but costly to repair Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing External Veneer Heavy external veneers performed poorly in many cases, especially near epicenter 13

14 Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Falling Chimneys Chimneys also presented a significant hazard, falling and outside of houses. This also created hazard to adjoining properties Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Rockfall and Liquefaction Blah Blah Blah Blah 14

15 Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Rockfall and Liquefaction Liquefaction damage due to use of shallow, occasionally unreinforced, foundation slabs Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Soft Storey Soft story collapse was an issue for a small amount of modern timber framed apartments In some cases this collapse was progressive over a series of events 15

16 Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Timber Housing Soft Storey Timber Structures in the CHCH EQ Engineered Timber Buildings Their was not a significant stock of engineered timber buildings in CHCH, however, all performed very well 16

Pampanin This building displayed almost prefect good seismic behavior Courtesy of S. Pampanin 20

21 Current seismic design practice This was our choice for Christchurch following a major earthquake Repair is just too expensive, and people are nervous about the results Current seismic design practice Damage to timber connections Bad Behavior Seim and Vogt 2013 Seim and Vogt 2013 Lauriola

22 Current seismic design practice Damage to timber connections Good Behavior But how do we repair it and what would it cost? Lauriola 2006 Lauriola 2006 Versuche zur DIN 1052 We need to shift the goal posts Updating our thinking to performance based design Higher expectations of modern society ( the three Ds ): No victims nor collapse (Deaths) Minimum level of damage or direct costs (Damage = Dollars) Minimum business interruption and recovering (indirect) costs (Downtime) Courtesy of S. Pampanin 22

44 Current Trends in Timber Design The World s getting Taller What type of connections do we want? We want more Timber Buildings ESPECIALLY in Seismic areas What are the barriers? RISK Who carries it? We have to lower the risk, for many players What are the key strategies? 1. Collaboration 2. Skills and knowledge 3. Successful projects 44

45 We want more Timber Buildings ESPECIALLY in Seismic areas Collaboration Researchers Timber industry Engineers, Architects, QS Builders, developers Skills and knowledge Design guides Education Websites Software Successful projects Working together on real buildings Testing of prototypes Learning from design and construction Conclusions We have the technology, more coming We have the materials, hybrids coming We have the structural systems Excellent seismic performance The hard part is putting it all together Reduce the risk for all stakeholders by working together For future timber buildings 45
