What is NZ Seismic Hazard Re-Evaluation for Design about?

This paper evaluates the seismic hazard in New Zealand from a geotechnical engineering perspective, highlighting discrepancies between the NZS1170.5 and NZTA Bridge Manual (NZTA-BM) in peak ground acceleration (PGA) estimates. The study finds that both standards often overestimate PGA hazards, particularly for locations near the Hikurangi Subduction Zone, and recommends an interim PGA hazard for geotechnical assessment. The findings aim to inform updates to New Zealand
