Welcome

The recent spate of natural disasters (drought, bushfires and pandemic) highlights the need for improved resilience against natural hazards.  Improved seismic resilience for Australia is an important aspect of improving the nation’s disaster preparedness.  This year’s conference invited authors to submit papers which address:

  • Adequacy of current design standards;
  • Compliance with current standards (from both a design and a construction perspective);
  • Challenging current design standards
  • The role of seismology in developing building codes for areas of low seismicity;
  • Disaster planning, response, recovery and resilience studies;
  • The performance of non-structural parts and components;
  • Structural monitoring;
  • Seismic retrofit of existing structures;
  • The performance of lifelines, large-loss facilities and critical infrastructure including power distribution systems and dams;

The committee also welcomed papers on general earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.

A special session on the MW 5.9 Woods Point Earthquake has been added to the conference Program.

There will also be a session dedicated to the update to the AS1170.4-2007 Commentary.

Keynote Speakers:

Prof. Kenneth J. Elwood
Professor of Earthquake Engineering
Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering
University of Auckland, New Zealand

Prof. Elwood will present on Hollow-core floors in earthquakes - assessment and retrofit

Dr Mark C. Quigley
Assoc. Prof. in Active Tectonics & Geomorphology
School of Earth Sciences

Dr Quigley will talk on the 
Environmental effects and the geomechanics of Australian earthquakes
