Two excavators and building rubble beside the Terrace on the Park apartment complex. Two buildings in the complex required urgent demolition, and the other buildings in the complex will eventually be demolished.
The vacant lot left after the demolition of St. John's Anglican Church on Latimer Square. On site is a shipping container, and next to it looks like a pile of recyclable concrete pieces.

Autumn leaves on trees along the Avon river, a carpark converted from a demolition site can be seen across the river. A crane and Westpac building can also be seen in the background.

Exposed wall after the demolition of the adjoining building. The wall has been graffitied, and in front are a set of recycling, rubbish and organic bins with some other bits of furniture.
The intersection on the corner of Colombo and Bealey Avenue. In the background, the demolition site where the Bealey Pharmacy was. A damaged car sits on top of the pile of building rubble.

Looking through the cordon fence from the vacant site from the demolition of St. John's Anglican Church on Latimer Square. The empty section it looks to is where CTV building use to be.
The demolition site where the Chateau Blanc Suites Apartment Hotel once was. On the cordon is a sign that says 'Private Property, Authorised parking only. Vehicles will be removed at owner's expense'.

Test results are presented for wall-diaphragm plate anchor connections that were axially loaded to rupture. These connection samples were extracted post-earthquake by sorting through the demolition debris from unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes. Unfortunately the number of samples available for testing was small due to the difficulties associated with sample collection in an environment of continuing aftershocks and extensive demolition activity, when personal safety combined with commercial activity involving large demolition machinery were imperatives that inhibited more extensive sample collection for research purposes. Nevertheless, the presented data is expected to be of assistance to structural engineers undertaking seismic assessment of URM buildings that have existing wall-diaphragm anchor plate connections installed, where it may be necessary to estimate the capacity of the existing connection as an important parameter linked with determining the current seismic capacity of the building and therefore influencing the decision regarding whether supplementary connections should be installed.
