Abstract
On the 4th September 2010 at 4:35am a magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred near Darfield in Canterbury, New Zealand. The associated fault ruptured towards Christchurch, which is New Zealand’s second largest city, and haswith a population of 350,000 people. The ground shaking was severe and critical infrastructure suffered widespread damage. The earthquake represented the most damaging earthquake event since the 3rd Feb 1931 Napier earthquake and has provided and excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of New Zealand infrastructure vulnerability. The similarity of older legacy assets in Christchurch to those in Australia, many of which haves been retrofitted, has made this event of interest to Australia as well.
