Simulation of the 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikoura earthquake and response of buildings in Wellington

This simulation and visualisation was performed by University of Canterbury students (via the USER: Undergraduate Studies in Earthquake Resilience programme) in collaboration with QuakeCoRE Visualisation researchers. The ground motion simulation uses a 3D model of the earth's crust to simulate the propagation of seismic waves resulting from the earthquake rupture. (Further details of the simulation can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxongbz4apr... and reference below) The simulated ground motions in Wellington are then applied to excite the foundations of the building models shown in the inset panel. It can be seen that the building response is highly sensitive to the height of the building which affects its vibration frequencies.
