After the Canterbury and Kaikōura earthquakes, there has
been increased interest in creating more
earthquake-resilient bridge infrastructure in Aotearoa New
Zealand. In response, researchers at the University of
Canterbury (UC) have developed a low-damage solution for
bridges that would yield little to no damage if hit by a
strong earthquake.
The research is being led by UC
Civil Engineering PhD student and chartered bridge engineer
Sabina
Piras originally from the United States, under the
supervision of Professor
Alessandro Palermo and Associate
Professor Gabriele Chiaro at UC’s College of
Engineering. The team has developed an alternative

After the Canterbury and Kaikōura earthquakes, there has been increased interest in creating more earthquake-resilient bridge infrastructure in Aotearoa New Zealand. In response, researchers at the University of Canterbury (UC) have developed a low-damage solution for bridges that would yield little to no damage if hit by a strong earthquake.
UC Civil Engineering PhD student and chartered bridge engineer Sabina Piras (L) is working with Professor Alessandro Palermo (R) and Associate Professor Gabriele Chiaro to develop an alternative earthquake-resilient solution for designing and building bridge infrastructure.
