Seismic isolation with energy dissipation is a technology that has been used in New Zealand since 1978 for bridges and buildings. During this period it has seen limited use, tending to be applied mainly to historically significant buildings, or buildings that have special functional requirements. Seismic isolation has the ability to significantly improve the seismic performance of existing buildings through a seismic retrofit, or to create new earthquake-resilient buildings. Both of these applications are of greater relevance throughout New Zealand following the Canterbury earthquakes. Consequently, the consideration of seismic isolation is no longer limited to those buildings at the top end of the Importance Level spectrum. This paper examines the broad technical issues associated with isolation and energy dissipation. It discusses the benefits and costs of seismic isolation, and presents guidelines for cost estimation at the feasibility stage of projects. We will explore the cost-benefits for building owners, and discuss whether base isolation can replace earthquake insurance for the building and its contents, and business interruption insurance.

Central Police

Significant extensions to the technology for seismic-isolation were required for three recent applications in New Zealand. The structures isolated were a new Central Police Station in Wellington, a printing press hall built in Petone for Wellington Newspapers Ltd., and capacitor banks at Haywards substation near Lower Hutt. In each case the isolating devices were tested to verify their performance characteristics. This paper presents the results of the testing. The devices were a lead-extrusion damper rated at 250 kN load ± 400 mm stroke, a lead-rubber bearing measuring 609 mm x 609 mm x 460 mm, and a steel taper-beam damper rated at 10.6 kN load ± 200 mm stroke.
