liquefaction
settlement of ground
soil particle
before earthquake
during earthquake
after earthquake
When the ground shakes during an earthquake the soil particles are rearranged, its soil mass compacts and decreases in volumn. This decrease in volumn causes water to be ejected to the ground surface.
LIQUEFACTION
SOIL COMPACTION Liquefaction induced structural damage occurred in the southern CBD and in areas adjacent to rivers. Most of the structures in the CBD that failed due to liquefaction were the super structures. Approximately, 1000 residential houses in Kaiapoi and 5100 houses in Dallington, Richmond, Avondale and Bexley had foundation damage or foundation settlement. This was related to the common use of heavy concrete foundation slabs, which imposed additional load during the earthquake. The map of liquefaction overlaid with the swamp map from 1850 indicates the areas of liquefaction were either swamp, or wetland in 1850. This correlation is reinforced by the areas bore holes, which show a layer of peat in those locations which used to be swamps.
Air Water Water Water Air
Liquefaction occurs when soil loses strength and behaves as a liquid during an earthquake. Loose soil compacts (increasing in density and reducing in volume) when subjected to earthquake vibration. Christchurchs soil is highly susceptible to liquefaction because it is saturated, loose, well sorted silt and sand, or sandy gravels. Liquefaction is also associated with settlement, which causes further compaction and expulsion of liquefied soils through the topsoil. Peat soil beneath Christchurch did not liquefy or lose strength during the vibration, but it is likely that it consolidated, which caused ground settlement. Soil property varies in shape, size (in both mechanical and physical properties) and in the extent to which the void between soil particles are filled with water or air, which creates a multiphase of solid, air, and liquid. Soil can be classified as either cohesive or cohesiveless: sand and gravel are cohesiveless, in other words they resist shear forces only by friction. Clay and like soils are cohesive, they resist shear by both cohesion and friction.

ry likely for TLiquefaction usually occurs in high water table areas or sometimes near the river. The variation of Earthquake, or Liquefaction Liquefaction is determined on the epicenters of the earthquakes, the magnitudes, depths, shaking
duration and the geological condition. The section indicates the water table from the east to west in Christchurch. It is visible that the water table is higher west, particularly in the CBD area, which is where most of the liquefaction occurs during the Feburary 2011 earthquake. However towards the east on the Port hills the water table is much lower, which also means that liquefaction is unlikely to The information depicted in this map has been derived from numerous occur in the area.

EXCAVATION AND REPLACEMENT: Uncompacted and unsuitable soil material is removed and replaced with a compacted structure fill. This method is resitricted to depths of about 4 to 6m. To achieve adequate compaction of the hill, the water table may need to be lowered temporarily
VIBRO-COMPACTION: A large vibrator is jetted into the ground at regular spacings across a site. The vibrations liquefy the soil, forming a more dense soil structure that is less likely to liquefy during earthquakes.
COMPACTION: Compaction of the soil is achieved by repeately dropping a heavy weight (about 15 to 35 tonnes) from a height of 15 to 25m at regular spacings across a site. Large vubrations are created by this method. Soils to a depth of about 2m can be compacted by a heavy roller. Dropping a heavy weight or using a heavy roller may be economic for resifential development.
STONE COLUMNS: A steel casing is driven into the ground using a vibrator. The casing is then filled with gravel and compacted while withdrawing the casing. The vibrations which are generated densify the soil and the stone columns also reinforce the soil mass.

Developing a Grasshopper de nition to de ne the logic of my physical experiment. As shown in the physical experiment that when the acidtone molecules touches the micro scale air polystyrene balls it starts to decompose and linking to the nearest neighbour to create a stronger linkage. Each of the nodes in the grasshopper de nition is considered as each of the molecule from the acidtone, when the nodes are touched on the surface of the grid we can determine the area of decomposition. 19

Traffic is no longer free-flowing, with increasing delays Traffic flow is nearly at capacity and conditions unstable-potential for large delays Traffic demand exceeds capacity, very large delays
Private vehicle trips are growing at one per cent a year and freight trips at twice this rate. If current trends continue, by 2041 there could be a 30 per cent growth in the volume of traffic compared with the current levels. This will put pressure on the same areas of the network and result in delays similar to or worse than those experienced after the February 2011 earthquake. As areas of the city are rebuilt and traffic is diverted, more congestion is expected. Reducing congestion can provide a range of bene ts, in particular savings in travel times and a reduction in vehicle operating costs. This will assist the economy to recover and function more effciently and help achieve economic growth and improved productivity.

Core Route: Provides for high patronage and high frequency services connecting key activity centres with local services. Connection Points: Located where there is the ability to safely and e ciently transfer between core and local services. Connection points are located to enable easy transition to other modes and provide quality infrastructure. Central City: provides for the highest pedestrian demand. Good pedestrian connections, following desire lines, to surrounding areas within a 20 min walk. Recreational route: O road or quiet routes of recreational value, linking key destinations and recreational areas. Centres: Provide good pedestrian access in areas of high pedestrian demand, especially in key activity centres and other commercial and retail centres. Good pedestrian connections, following desire lines to surrounding areas within a 10 min walk. Safe routes: Within 15 min walk to schools and other key destinations to achieve high level of safety and amenity.

There is a huge potential for the future development of Christchurch with the railways. A healthy city is determined on its transportation. Incorporating and developing the train system for future Christchurch will cater the needs for the growth of wider Christchurch in the future. Property damaged from the earthquakes had resulted in many households and businesses relocating to wider areas of Christchurch, particularlt the north-western and south western region. The railways will eventually become the key to urban sprawl in Christchurch.
