The Christchurch Cathedral
[1888] [February 2011]
The Cathedral was designed by the Englishman G.G. Scott and work began on it in 1863. The tower and spire, paid for by the Rhodes family, are complete in the photograph but were damaged multiple times by earthquakes in 1881, 1888 and 1901.

Is this what we should expect?
• Yes. URM buildings consistently collapse inlarge earthquakes
• The NZ URM building stock is analogous tothat of other European colonies. Past failureselsewhere have relevance to NZ.
• Unretrofitted URM buildings were loaded toabout 6 times their calculated capacity.
• Why did not ALL URM buildings collapsecompletely?

Implications for NZ and elsewhere?
• The URM building stock in NZ is remarkably homogeneous & similar to that in central US
• Similar outcomes can be expected anywhere in NZ and central US after a large earthquake
OPTIONS:
1.Do nothing
2.Seismic improvement
3.Demolition

Conclusions & Recommendations• Massive loss of architectural heritage: “Christchurch now has no
earthquake‐prone buildings”. What about the central US?
• Clear lesson for NZ and central US regarding earthquake prone buildings”: Improve or remove!
• Negative impacts from the Christchurch experience:
– Futility is spreading: public lacks of confidence in URM
– Insurance companies claim that they will not insure strengthened URM buildings
– Buildings are being demolished that would previously not have been ‘red‐carded’
• Better knowledge of URM buildings and materials needed.
• Success of a number of retrofit technologies was shown.
• Retrofit diaphragm connections require further study.
