A photograph of earthquake damage to a road in Christchurch. A hole has been filled with gravel, and a road cone placed on top. In the background, cracks and liquefaction can be seen.
Flooding along Avonside Drive. The power poles along the road are on an outward lean due to liquefaction at the base. Concrete blocks have been pushed up against them to keep them upright.
A view down Galbraith Avenue in Avonside. The footpath and road have been cracked by the 4 September 2010 earthquake. Small deposits of dry liquefaction silt can be seen on patches of the road.

A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "A blue water pipe snakes along the pile of liquefaction on the footpaths of Tasman Place. The pipe is delivering water to the few homes still occupied".
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "15 Waygreen Avenue in New Brighton, now red zoned land. The homeowner still lives in this property and is keeping it in immaculate condition".
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "A view looking south along Wattle Drive, New Brighton towards the Port Hills. This part of the street is red zoned".
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Wattle Drive in New Brighton. This part of the street is red zoned. This red zoned house is on the boundary between the zones".
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Jenni and Keith Hague with Lillian and Elaine outside their home at 7 Ching Gardens. They have found somewhere else suitable to live and hope to complete the sale of this house to CERA soon".
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Waygreen Avenue in New Brighton. The homeowners at the end of this drive are staying here until their new homes are available. The stagnant water on their drive is full of algae".
Two damaged driveways on Acland Avenue in Avonside. Dried liquefaction can be seen in the gap between the two driveways, and behind them the ground has sunk. Weeds have grown through cracks in the concrete.

An residential property at 7 Waygreen Avenue in New Brighton. The section and footpath is overgrown with weeds and silt from liquefaction. A green sticker on the front window can be seen through the trees.
Liquefaction and flooding on Avonside Drive. The street is closed off with cones and a "Road closed" sign, and portaloos line the street. The banks of the Avon River have been built up with gravel.
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Volunteers from the Student Volunteer Army clearing silt in the garden of a property along Flemington Avenue".
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "23 Seabreeze Close, Bexley. Through the window pane beside the door you can see silt piled about 30 cm high inside the house".
Photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "23 Seabreeze Close, Bexley. The view through the window here shows the size of the silt piled against the front door".
Scaffolding and bracing on stores in New Regent Street. Plywood has been used to cover up the damaged windows. In front, the paving around the tram tracks has separated in places and liquefaction can be seen.
The footpath in front of a building on Williams Street. As the building subsided it took part of the path with it. This gives an idea of how much this commercial building sank due to liquefaction.
A pile of liquefaction silt on Medway Street is cordoned off with road cones. The photographer comments, "Piles of sand and subsiding roads at the intersection of Medway St with Woodchester Ave and Flesher Ave, 10 days after the February quake".
A photograph of a road cone decorated with Christmas tinsel. The photograph is captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "Kingsford Street, Horseshoe Lake, Burwood".
An empty section where a house once stood at 27 Waygreen Avenue in New Brighton. The section is overgrown with weeds and silt from liquefaction. An road-cone sits to the left-hand side of the section.

This one was really flowing out of the ground.
Bare patches of ground at Sullivan Park in Avonside. The bare patches mark where liquefaction covered the grass after the 4 September 2010 earthquake. Damage to the footpath and road on Galbraith Avenue can also be seen.
Motivation This poster aims to present fragility functions for pipelines buried in liquefaction-prone soils. Existing fragility models used to quantify losses can be based on old data or use complex metrics. Addressing these issues, the proposed functions are based on the Christchurch network and soil and utilizes the Canterbury earthquake sequence (CES) data, partially represented in Figure 1. Figure 1 (a) presents the pipe failure dataset, which describes the date, location and pipe on which failures occurred. Figure 1 (b) shows the simulated ground motion intensity median of the 22nd February 2011 earthquake. To develop the model, the network and soil characteristics have also been utilized.
Severe damage on a New Brighton Road. It had to be reformed and raised up 40 cm. A pile of dried liquefaction has been shovelled onto the footpath. Road cones mark out the uneven surfaces on the road.
A photograph captioned by BeckerFraserPhotos, "A view down a driveway of houses on crazy angles. Liquefaction has been a problem here and slumping occurred under all these houses. The houses have been affected in different ways".
