Sensitive soils of the Puketoka Formation, Hamilton, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Sensitive soils are known to cause significant issues in the infrastructure and civil engineering industry, and are prone to sudden, oftentimes catastrophic failures following long periods of stability. The Walton Subgroup ... -
Effect of exposure on the erodibility of intertidal mudflats
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Sediments on intertidal flats are exposed during low tides. Under the effect of exposure, the water content of sediments decreases because of the evaporation process, which alters the erosive behaviour of cohesive sediments, ... -
Scratching the Hinuera Surface: Cryptic faulting in the late Quaternary alluvial plain, Te Tātua o Wairere Fault Zone
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Between c. 20,000 and 15,000 years BP, precursors to the modern Waikato River deposited alluvium of the Hinuera Formation throughout the Hamilton Basin – a c. 1,600 km2 terrestrial sedimentary basin in the centre-north of ... -
Site characterisation of the Hamilton Basin using surface wave methods
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Observed amplification and reverberation of ground motions in the Heathcote Valley during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence highlighted the lack of data on the subsurface velocity structure of sedimentary basins ... -
The Fault in our Hill: Characterisation of the Rangitawa Tephra, and insight into tectonic influences at Hillcrest Road
(The University of Waikato, 2020)This study aimed to identify deformation and characterise the Rangitawa Tephra in terms of geomechanical and geochemical properties, and relate these properties to the deformation potential/activity. It was hypothesised ...
