A photograph of students from the University of Canterbury Student Volunteer Army at Rock on Eastside. Rock on Eastside was an outdoor lounge and art space facilitated by Gap Filler and Youthtown. The students helped other students from local high schools to build the site, which was on the corner of Aldwins Road and Linwood Avenue.

A photograph of students enjoying Rock on Eastside, an outdoor lounge and art space on the corner of Aldwins Road and Linwood Avenue. The students have decorated the site by painting rocks they found throughout Christchurch and laying them out in patterns. There is also furniture made out of pallets in the background and 'Rock on Eastside' has been painted on the wall of a building.

Rock on Eastside was a outdoor lounge and art space facilitated by Gap Filler and Youthtown. The sofa was made by students from the University of Canterbury Student Volunteer Army. Painted rocks have been placed in front of the sofa as decoration.

A photograph of rock fall near the Sumner Redcliffs Returned Services Association on Wakefield Avenue. The rocks have come loose from the cliffs above and landed near the building. A section of the back of the building has been damaged by the rock fall.
Experimental evaluation of the role of slenderness in seismic behaviour of…
Research papers, The University of Auckland Library
Observations in major earthquakes have shown that rockable structures suffered less to no damage. During rocking, that is, partial and temporary footing separations, the influx of seismic energy is interrupted and thus the impact of the base excitation is reduced. Rocking causes the structure to deform more rigid like. Consequently, the structure experiences less deformation along the height and thus a lower damage potential. Although many researchers have studied the influence of rockable footings, most of these are either analytical or numerical, and only a very few structures have been built with rockable footings worldwide, for example, the chimney at Christchurch Airport and the South Rangitikei Viaduct in New Zealand. Despite these studies, a thorough and understanding is not yet available, especially with respect to experimental validations. This work is the first to investigate the rocking behaviour of bridges with different slenderness using large‐scale shake table experiments. To limit the number of influence factors, a stiff footing support and the same fixed‐base fundamental frequency of the bridges were assumed. The result shows that the girder displacement and the footing rotation of the tall bridge do not always move in phase, which cannot be observed in the short bridge. The results demonstrate the important role of slenderness in the overall responses of rockable bridges. This behaviour cannot be observed in bridges with a commonly assumed fixed base since the slenderness effect cannot be activated.
