The Performance of Heritage Buildings in the 2010/2011 Christchurch Earthquake Swarm

On 25th April 2012, we were lucky to have Andrew Marriott, an engineer over from New Zealand, to speak at our SECED evening technical meeting. Andrew has been intimately involved in the assessment of heritage buildings in Christchurch following the earthquakes in 2010 and 2011, and here he offers his perspectives on their performance, and on the ongoing reconstruction effort.
