2010 NZSEE Annual Technical Conference and AGM

26-28 March 2010, Wellington

The 2010 conference theme is "Earthquake Prone Buildings: how ready are we?".

The New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering Conference is an annual forum where current research and practice related to earthquake engineering is presented in papers and posters.

In 2010 the conference will be held at the iconic Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Professor Michele Calvi will deliver the keynote address on the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake in Italy. A panel forum will stimulate discussion on New Zealand’s readiness for the ‘big one’ and a special session will honour the lifetime achievements of Professor Tom Paulay. Field trips on the Saturday afternoon will showcase Wellington’s assets, faults, hazards, and their mitigation.

The conference organisation committee welcomes abstracts consistent with the theme and in the following categories:

Pathways to Earthquake Resilience
Lessons from Earthquakes through Time
