- The Canterbury Geotechnical Database: An authoritative source of geotechnical data
- dc.description
- This case study provides an overview of the establishment and successes of the Canterbury Geotechnical Database (CGD). The CGD was an authoritative data warehouse set up to create a single source of geotechnical data for those working on the Canterbury rebuild.

- Residential Ground Improvement: Findings from trials to manage liquefaction vulnerability
- dc.description
-
The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence of 2010-2011 triggered widespread liquefaction. In some areas this resulted in consequential land and building damage.
The Ground Improvement Programme is an EQC-led research programme which informs more affordable and practical ways of making residential land less vulnerable to liquefaction. This report summarises the lessons from the Ground Improvement Programme.

- Liquefaction-related land damage
- dc.description
-
The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence of 2010-2011 triggered widespread liquefaction and land damage throughout the region.
Land damage varied across the region with severity influenced by two main factors - earthquake magnitude and the level of shaking. The topography, seasonal groundwater levels, proximity to rivers and streams, land use and subsurface soil conditions also played a major part in the distribution of liquefaction-induced land damage.

- Localised ground surface changes
- dc.description
- Liquefaction of underlying soil layers can cause slumping of elevated areas displacing the liquefied soils sideways. In addition to the liquefaction related subsidence, this slumping increases the risk of damage to the built environment.

- Lateral spreading
- dc.description
- Horizontal ground movements related to liquefaction occurred across greater Christchurch following the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. Information including aerial LiDAR and aerial photograph imagery helped evaluate the extent and magnitude of horizontal movement caused by the earthquakes.

- Paleoliquefaction
- dc.description
-
Paleoliquefaction is the preserved evidence of liquefaction in the soil profile attributed to seismic events occurring before earthquake records began.
Following the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, paleoliquefaction evidence in shallow (1-2m depth) trenches was documented in several suburbs in eastern Christchurch.

- The power of shared data
- dc.description
- The Canterbury Geotechnical Database harnesses the power of sharing geotechnical information between the public and private sectors to aid the recovery by significantly improving the understanding of the Canterbury wide subsurface soil conditions.

- Economic impact of liquefaction
- dc.description
- The 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence has had an enormous economic impact on Christchurch and New Zealand. Liquefaction-induced damage from the earthquakes has significantly exacerbated the economic impact.

- Ground surface subsidence
- dc.description
- The 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence caused regional tectonic subsidence and uplift. The earthquakes also triggered widespread liquefaction, contributing to subsidence and localised lateral spreading.

- A wealth of data
- dc.description
- The Canterbury Geotechnical Database is an online database developed for the rebuild of Christchurch after the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. It was designed as a searchable repository for new and existing geotechnical, geological and groundwater information used for planning and building requirements.
