4 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment 1 Introduction 1.1 Background On the 15 th and 16 th April 2013, Murrays Bay Wharf was subject to a significant storm event from which, the structure sustained some serious damage. This included significant cracking of the seaward end reinforced concrete deck planks and pier caps and detachment of the recently installed timber stair case located at the end of the wharf. The wharf had recently undergone remedial works which were completed in late 2012 by Quayside Marine and involved installation of a new timber staircase, remedial work to the steel balustrading and some concrete patching of the deck slabs at the seaward end of the wharf. The design of the remedial works was undertaken by Frame Group Ltd (FGL). Following an inspection of the damage sustained to the structure in April 2013 storm event, a recommendation was made by FGL to restrict public access to the outer two spans of the structure. This restriction is still in place. Beca has been requested by Auckland Council to carry out a structural assessment of the wharf and to establish a repair / replacement strategy for the damaged wharf. This report presents a number of repair / replacement options aimed at restoring the wharf to a condition which is deemed safe for public recreational use. Figure 1 Murrays Bay Wharf 1.2 Description of the Existing Wharf Structure The Murrays Bay Wharf is approximately 68m long by 1.2m wide and was originally constructed in its current form in Based on original design drawings provided by Auckland Council, the wharf structure is comprised of: 0.92m (36 ) diameter hollow post-tensioned concrete piers anchored into the sea-bed rock and the reinforced concrete pier caps supporting the deck; 1200mm wide and 180mm deep precast pre-stressed hollow-core concrete deck slabs spanning 7.6m between piers (9 spans in total with 2 deck planks side by side on outermost seaward span (refer Figure 1); Painted steel balustrading connected into the deck (replacement of original timber balustrading). Timber stairs were located at the end of the wharf to provide access between the wharf deck and the water. During the April 2013 storm event, the stairs were detached from the wharf and salvaged intact on the nearby beach. The stairs, designed by Frame Group Ltd, were installed in late 2012 to replace the previous stairs which were also detached from the structure during a storm event in March Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

5 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment 2 Condition Assessment 2.1 Visual Inspection above the Water Line A visual condition inspection of the wharf was completed by Beca on 18 th June The inspection found the following: evidence of longitudinal cracking in all deck spans propagating typically from the pier supports at each end (refer Appendix A Site Photos); evidence of transverse cracking at the outer / seaward support of Span 4 (numbered from land) (refer Appendix A Site Photos 12-15); the outer / seaward two deck spans of the structure where public access was restricted to be in poor condition exhibiting significant longitudinal cracking (refer Appendix A Site Photos 17-19); evidence of rust staining on the underside of the deck indicating active corrosion of the prestressed strands (refer Appendix A Site Photos 3-8); active surface corrosion on the steel balustrading on the outer / seaward 3 spans (refer Appendix A Site Photo 21-22). 2.2 Diving Inspection below the Water Line A diving inspection of the Murrays Bay Wharf piers and pier foundations was carried out on the 28 th August 2013 by New Zealand Diving and Salvage Ltd (NZDS). This inspection was undertaken around mid-tide under good weather conditions allowing good visibility and access to the wharf piles and foundations. A site inspection report was prepared by NZDS following the dive inspection and can be found attached to this report in Appendix B. Under guidance from Beca on site, the divers undertook a detailed inspection and photographic record of each individual pile and footing as well as the reinforced concrete stair footing near the end of the wharf looking for any evidence of scour / undermining of the foundations or apparent damage to the underwater elements of the structure. The findings of the diving report indicate minimal visual evidence of foundation scour (less than 100mm typically) and / or apparent major structural defects (i.e. rust staining, delamination or spalling) on the underwater RC pipe surfaces and foundations. Some minor damage was however observed at the RC pipe joins (refer Appendix B - NZDS Report Photos) on a number of piers which may potentially be a result of movement of the piers and the subsequent bending action due to lateral loading of the structure (i.e. due to waves, wind, etc.) in the past. Whilst the diving report does provide some assurance as to the structural integrity of the wharf foundations, it should be noted that this inspection was of a visual nature only and no physical testing was (nor could easily be) undertaken to confirm the integrity of these elements. The interior of the RC piers and central duct with embedded post-tensioned anchors were not assessed as part of this inspection as it is not possible to gain access to these elements without the need for destructive testing i.e. breaking out / jackhammering of the RC pier caps at the top of each pile. Such testing would also result in the releasing of the stress in the pier tendons subsequently compromising their integrity. 2.3 Timber Stair Case An inspection of the salvaged timber stair case was also undertaken by Beca at the Silverdale Council storage yard on the 28 th August The inspection found the stairs to be largely still Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

6 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment intact and in generally good condition with the only damage observed at the top and bottom connection locations where the stairs where connected to the wharf and concrete base footing. The observed damage appeared to indicate that the stair fixings failed (rather than the stairs themselves) at both the deck level and at the footing base during the storm event either by one or a combination of the stainless steel fixings directly pulling out from the concrete headstock beam and / or by shear failure / tearing of the timber stringers (refer Appendix C Site Photos). It may be possible to repair and re-use these stairs as part of the overall repairs to the Wharf however this will need be confirmed pending further analysis of the imposed wave action loading on the stairs and wharf structure. This will be undertaken by Beca during the detailed design phase in combination with a peer review of the previous FGL design undertaken in Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

7 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment 3 Murrays Bay Wharf Repair Options 3.1 Option 1 Do the Minimum General Option 1 involves undertaking the bare minimum remedial works as follows: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Load-test all 9 deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure Discussion Rust staining evident on the soffit of the deck slab indicates that the pre-stressing strands and/or steel reinforcement have started to corrode within the concrete. Cracking in the slab, assumed to be largely caused by the recent storm event damage, provides easy access for chlorides to the strands / steel reinforcement. This will ultimately lead to an increased rate of corrosion of the strands / steel reinforcement leading to expansion of the steel and subsequent de-bonding with the surrounding concrete resulting in an initial reduction in the capacity of the deck and eventual failure if no action is taken. Pre-stressed concrete elements are especially difficult to repair once strand corrosion and concrete spalling begins. The beams are reinforced with high tensile strands which are typically loaded to 50-70% of the Ultimate Tensile Strength of the steel. Each strand consists of individual small diameter wires which are wound or laid to form the strand. The strand contains voids between the wires which allow chlorides and moisture to accumulate, resulting in very localised and severe corrosion from within. The small diameter wires can corrode very rapidly once initiated and can be very severe with little in the way of exterior visible signs of damage. By the time rust staining and cracking can be seen at the outside surface of the concrete, it is likely that the strand has already corroded to the point where it has lost its tensile capacity and cannot be repaired by conventional means. Once enough strands have lost their tensile capacity, the element is at risk of brittle and sudden failure. Experience has shown that once corrosion of pre-stressing strands is initiated, it typically spreads rapidly. The exact timeframe of this deterioration is not possible to determine without destructive testing. The only way to accurately determine the current load capacity of the Murrays Bay Wharf deck slabs is therefore to carry out destructive load testing. Load testing would involve loading the structure, typically at mid-span to a minimum safe load rating multiplied by an appropriate factor of safety (i.e. FOS = 1.5 2). There is however, given the current condition of the wharf deck slabs, a significant risk that the deck slabs may fail under this applied load and need to be replaced anyway. Without accurately assessing the current load capacity of the deck elements, there is a high residual risk with Option 1 of the deck elements being overloaded and failing in the future. Option 2 FRP External Strengthening General Option 2 involves undertaking strengthening work to the existing deck slabs using Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) external reinforcement (refer Figure 2 & Appendix D for further details). This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

8 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment Strengthen the end 2 deck plank spans using Fibre Reinforced Polymer reinforcement; Load-test the remaining deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure Discussion Figure 2 - Installation of External Reinforcement FRP external reinforcement is used to increase the capacity of concrete elements. It is used on concrete structures where structural elements have deteriorated or the structure is experiencing higher loads than the initial design actions. Strips of carbon fibre fabric are attached to the structural element providing additional strength and increasing the load carrying capacity of the structural element. 3.2 Option 3 - Steel Beam Strengthening General Option 3 involves undertaking strengthening work to the existing deck slabs using external steel beam reinforcement. This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Strengthen the end 2 deck plank spans using steel I-beams or equivalent; Load-test the remaining deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure Discussion Steel beam strengthening repairs involve the use of steel I-beam elements or equivalent to provide extra capacity to the existing concrete slabs. Steel beams would be installed on the underside of the existing concrete slabs between piers to provide support and increase the load carrying capacity of the deck. 3.3 Option 4 Replace Outer Deck Planks General Option 4 involves replacing the outer damaged deck planks with new precast concrete elements. This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Replace end 2 (damaged) deck plank spans with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks; Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

9 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment Load-test the remaining deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure Discussion The wharf is approximately 40 years old and potentially nearing the end of its intended service life. Given the age of the wharf and rust staining visible on the soffit of the deck, it is probable that the concrete deck is highly contaminated with chlorides and that the rate of further deterioration of these elements is likely to increase quite rapidly. Option 4 proposes to replace rather than repair the existing damaged deck slabs and load test the remaining deck spans to a minimum safe rating. 3.4 Option 5 Replace All Deck Planks General Option 5 involves replacing all wharf deck planks with new precast concrete elements. This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Replace all 9 deck plank spans with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks Discussion As stated previously, the wharf is approximately 40 years old and potentially nearing the end of its intended service life. Option 5 looks to provide a long-term repair solution aimed at increasing the service life of the structure by reducing the need for future maintenance to the replaced concrete elements (excluding the piers & foundations refer Section 3.9). 3.5 Option 6 Replace All Deck Planks and Repair / Strengthen the Existing Piers General Option 6 involves replacing all wharf deck planks with new precast concrete elements and repairing / strengthening the existing piers. This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2); Repair / strengthen the existing 9 piers by installing new passive (i.e. non stressed) anchor bars into the bedrock, a reinforcement cage and marine grade concrete within the existing wharf piers using the RC pipes as formwork (NOTE: preliminary discussions with a leading local Marine Contractor indicate this repair methodology is feasible and most likely preferred over demolition and reconstruction of the piers). Replace all 9 deck plank spans with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks. This option also allows for an increase in the footprint (i.e. width) of the new wharf deck if requested Discussion Option 6 aims to provide Auckland Council with an essentially new reinforced concrete wharf that achieves a number of efficiencies / advantages over a complete re-build of the structure. These include: re-using / retaining the existing pier casings to provide efficiencies in the installation of new vertical wharf piers (i.e. no demolition of existing piers and pier foundations required); retaining the original look of the old wharf; Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

10 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment allowing the option to increase the footprint of the wharf deck whilst retaining the existing (strengthened) piers. 3.6 Option 7 Demolish Existing Wharf and Construct a New Wharf General Option 7 involves full demolition of the existing Murrays Bay Wharf and replacement with a new reinforced concrete wharf. This is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: Full demolition of the existing structure. Construction of a new wharf as designed by Architect / Engineer to either resemble the original structure or be designed as a new wharf (i.e. smaller / larger footprint) - as specified by Auckland Council; Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2) - if applicable Discussion Option 7 will provide Auckland Council with a long-term low maintenance solution that achieves a number of efficiencies / advantages over Option 6. These include: The new wharf can be designed to accommodate future client / user intentions for the structure and associated budget constraints; Allows the option to increase / decrease the footprint of the wharf deck as required. 3.7 Summary of Options Table 1 below provides a summary of the above repair options detailing the required proposed remedial works, pros and cons as well as the residual risk to Auckland Council of each option. 3.8 Assumptions and Key Residual Risks For Repair Options 1-5, the following assumptions and key residual risks apply: The piers and pier foundations are structurally sound and suitable to be re-used (i.e. require no remediation and / or replacement). As stated previously in Section 2.2, the diving inspection does provide some assurance as to the structural integrity of the wharf foundations, however it is important to note that the interior of the RC piers and central duct with embedded post-tensioned anchors were not assessed as part of this inspection as it is not possible to gain access to these elements without the need for destructive testing i.e. breaking out / jackhammering of the RC pier caps at the top of each pile. Additionally, any such testing is likely to compromise the integrity of these elements. This remains a key residual risk for repair options 1-5. The stairs can be re-instated onto the structure pending endorsement by an analysis of the applied design wave loading onto the stairs and the subsequent loading impacts onto the structure. This risk will not apply to Repair Options 6 & 7, as the replaced / repaired wharf structure (including the piers & foundations) will accommodate and take the design loading actions on the stairs (if applicable) into consideration as part of the detailed design. 3.9 Hibiscus and Bays Facilities and Reserves Committee This section was added to the report following discussion at the Hibiscus and Bays Facilities and Reserves Committee Meeting of 17 September 2013 at Browns Bay. The meeting resolved (in draft) the following: Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

11 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment a) Requests that a variant option be developed to remediate the Murrays Bay Wharf in a staged way. b) Requests that the first stage be completed with urgency and this should address the damage to the end two spans and replacement steps. c) Requests that the design of the steps be as close as possible to the original steps with hardwood stringers. d) Requests that the design allows for children to easily jump of the structure. e) Requests that the new design, estimated construction time frame and cost estimate, come to the last business meeting of the Local Board on 23 September f) Notes that further action will be taken to recover costs from the design failure of the steps Variant Option 6a - Staged Construction We understand from the meeting that the remediation of the wharf is intended to deliver an as-new wharf when complete, including remediation of the piles. Thus, to achieve this outcome as part of a staged construction process, a variant option 6a has been developed and is anticipated to involve the following remedial works: a) Stage 1: Repair / strengthen the existing outer 3 piers by installing new passive (i.e. non stressed) anchor bars into the bedrock, a reinforcement cage and marine grade concrete within the existing wharf piers using the RC pipes as formwork (NOTE: preliminary discussions with a leading local Marine Contractor indicate this repair methodology is feasible and most likely preferred over demolition and reconstruction of the piers). Replace outer 3 deck plank spans (spans 7, 8 & 9 (double)) with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks. This option also allows for an increase in the footprint (i.e. width) of the new wharf deck if requested. For the remainder of the structure (i.e. inner 6 spans), undertake one or a combination of the following under the guidance of a qualified structural engineer: i. Load-test the remaining deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure. ii. Alternatively, because this repair option will eventually result in the full reinstatement of the structure over a number of years, in the interim, undertake minimal repairs / strengthening works only to those inner spans deemed necessary to ensure the wharf is safe for public use until the next stage of repair/strengthening works (i.e. spans exhibiting transverse cracking over supports or extensive chloride induced deterioration rust staining, delamination & spalling). Replace / re-instate stairs to structure (refer Section 3.9.2). b) Stage 2: Repair / strengthen the next outer 3 piers by installing new passive (i.e. non stressed) anchor bars into the bedrock, a reinforcement cage and marine grade concrete within the existing wharf piers using the RC pipes as formwork. Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

12 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment Replace the next 3 deck plank spans (spans 4, 5 & 6) with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks. This option also allows for an increase in the footprint (i.e. width) of the new wharf deck if requested. For the remainder of the structure (i.e. inner 3 spans), if deemed necessary by a qualified structural engineer, undertake one or a combination of the following: ii. Load-test the remaining deck plank spans to a minimum safe rating (i.e. 5kPa to be determined) this involves a form of destructive testing of the structure. iii. Undertake minimal repairs / strengthening works only to those inner spans deemed necessary to ensure the wharf is safe for public use until the next stage of repair/strengthening works (i.e. spans exhibiting transverse cracking over supports or extensive chloride induced deterioration rust staining, delamination & spalling). c) Stage 3: Repair / strengthen the final inner 3 piers by installing new passive (i.e. non stressed) anchor bars into the bedrock, a reinforcement cage and marine grade concrete within the existing wharf piers using the RC pipes as formwork. Replace the final inner 3 deck plank spans (spans 1, 2 & 3) with new precast reinforced concrete deck planks. This option also allows for an increase in the footprint (i.e. width) of the new wharf deck if requested. Please note Stages 2 & 3 could be combined into a single repair contract pending availability of funding which would result in significant cost savings to AC (due to the reduction in fixed costs associated with mobilisation of a contractor & plant to site, site establishment, etc.) versus undertaking as separate repair contracts Replacement of Timber Stairs We understand that Resolution c) requests the new / replacement stair design to be as close as possible to the original stair design with hardwood stringers. Noting this, if the decision has been made by AC not to re-use the current existing timber stairs (refer Section 2.3), we recommend consideration be given to the following alternative solutions which impose less load onto the wharf (i.e. allow wave energy to pass through rather than onto the structure) and therefore far less likely to cause damage to the structure in a future extreme storm event. These include: Steel grate stairs as employed in a marine environment refer Figure 3. An egress ladder cheapest solution and imposes minimal load (and risk of future damage) onto the wharf refer Figure 4. Beca // 20 September 2013 // Page // NZ

Construction of a new wharf as designed by Architect / Engineer to either resemble the original structure or be designed as a new wharf (i.e. smaller / larger footprint) - as specified by Auckland Council; Replace / re-instate stairs (if applicable). Advantages Disadvantages / Residual Risks Lowest capital cost Shortest construction time / shortest closure time for public Wharf will look the same as previous On-going risk of further deterioration / potential failure of original deck planks. No way of when the structure is no longer safe Risk that any of the 9 spans may fail the safe load rating and require replacement anyway Short construction/cure time Minimal change in slab cross section wharf will still look the same Can re-use current deck slab and handrails FRP strengthening could be applied to the rest of the wharf as required in the future Does not require heavy machinery to install Will require a temporary working platform beneath the wharf (typically expensive) On-going risk of further deterioration / potential failure of original non-strengthened deck planks. No way of when the structure is no longer safe Risk that any of the tested spans may fail the safe load rating and require replacement anyway Doesn t require repair of prestressed concrete deck planks Can re-use current deck slab and handrails Could be applied to the rest of the wharf as required in the future Will require heavy machinery to construct/install High corrosion rate due to marine environment, steel will require regular maintenance Steel repairs will be visible on the underside of the structure i.e. change the appearance On-going risk of further deterioration / potential failure of original non-strengthened deck planks.

15 Murrays Bay Wharf Investigation and Repairs - Options Assessment 4 Cost Estimates 4.1 General Table 2 provides indicative order of cost estimates for the various remediation options based on the repair strategies detailed in Section 3 of this report. A detailed breakdown of these cost estimates can be found in Appendix E. Each estimate assumes repair works will be undertaken under a single repair contract and is based on estimated quantities and current market construction rates exclusive of GST. Each option has been compiled assuming estimated construction timeframes as noted in Table 1. Please note that these timeframes are for construction activities on site only and does not include time associated for engineering design, resource consent, tendering of the works nor the tender evaluation and selection process, all of which, will need to be considered in addition when programming the repair works. For Options 6 / 6a & 7, where the structure is likely to undergo significant or complete repair / alteration work, we would expect resource consent to be required from Auckland Council. Please note that option 6a assumes that the construction estimates for each stage (1, 2 & 3) are based on current day construction rates and do not allow for appreciation of costs in the future. Additionally no net present value calculations were undertaken for future expenditures (i.e. Stages 2 & 3) as part of this preliminary costing estimate. 4.2 Costing Estimate Estimates include provision for: Preliminaries including site costs, mobilisation / demobilisation of plant including a work barge, mobile crane and work boat and quality compliance; Construction materials supply and installation, construction equipment and labour costs; Contractor overhead and profit (10%); Engineering design fees (7.5%); Client contract administration costs (5%); Contingency allowance (30%).

47 Appendix D FRP External Reinforcement

48 frp Leading technology April 2011 Grafton Bridge» Welcome to this edition of FRP Leading Technology, which highlights some interesting recent applicattions of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structural strengthening materials in New Zealand. FRP Leading Technology is produced by BBR Contech and Sika (NZ) Ltd. Contech and Sika have been associated with FRP in New Zealand since 1994 and have developed a great deal of expertise in the various FRP techniques. The design and installation of FRP solutions requires a high level of engineering understanding. The combination of Contech s specialist engineering capability and Sika s strong sales network, together with the sound engineering know-how held by both companies, creates a strong alliance that provides well engineered, well constructed and cost competitive FRP solutions to the marketplace. A century of progressive technology Auckland s iconic Grafton Bridge, the world s largest single span reinforced concrete arch bridge when constructed in 1910, has continued its history of innovation, utilising Sika CarboShear technology in its 2010 strengthening. When it was completed in 1910, Grafton Bridge was at the forefront of construction technology, boasting the world s largest single span of reinforced concrete. The 296-metre-long bridge, which soars 43 metres above Grafton Gully, has attracted international acclaim as an engineering structure of unique value. Its impressive resume includes: Recognition by the American Concrete Institute as one of the 100 most significant concrete structures in the world. Receiving the inaugural NZ Concrete Society Enduring Concrete Award in Registration as a Category I structure by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust owing to its outstanding technological merit and magnificence as a townscape element. Almost 100 years after it was built, the bridge was recently strengthened as part of the Auckland Central Connector project. This has provided it with essential seismic resistance (enabling it to withstand a one-in-1000-year earthquake) as well as the capacity to carry increased bus traffic and cope with future transport innovations such as light rail all without altering the bridge s appearance or changing its heritage status. The work included: strengthening the bridge columns using steel bar reinforcements strengthening the bridge beams by applying Sika CarboDur carbon fibre plates and Sika CarboShear L Plates installing new, reinforced-concrete shear keys and deck linkage to resist horizontal earthquake forces repairing cracks in the existing concrete and removing algal growth replacing deck joints and bridge bearings. Main contractor Brian Perry Civil engaged BBR Contech, as the specialist subcontractor, to supply and apply nearly 600 metres of Sika CarboDur FRP strips and 830 CarboShear L plates to the bridge structure. The CarboDur strips were applied to the underside of the beams to provide additional mid-span moment resistance. The CarboShear L plates were A joint venture in FRP technology Continue over page 1

49 From cover installed in pairs around the beams and up into the deck slab to improve shear performance. Completed well ahead of schedule in late 2009, the work has once again placed this iconic structure at the forefront of construction technology, ensuring that the grand old lady will continue to serve Auckland for many generations to come. The use of FRP materials as externally bonded shear reinforcement on reinforced concrete beams is common. If the FRP material can be properly anchored in the compression zone of the beam, the effectiveness of the FRP reinforcement is greatly improved. To achieve the best anchorage, holes have to be drilled through the flange of the beam. Traditionally this shear strengthening has been carried out with FRP fabric, but it is difficult to properly install a fabric through the holes in the flange. Sika CarboShear L Plates rigid, preformed L-shaped carbon fibre plates provide the ideal solution to this problem. Sika CarboDur plates and Sika CarboShear L plates provide flexural and shear strengthening to the Grafton Bridge Chapel of Faith in the Oaks Overlapping horizontal and vertical bands of SikaWrap FRP fabric, a common and efficient utilisation of cost-competitive unidirectional material, were installed as part of the seismic strengthening of the Chapel of the Faith in the Oaks. The Chapel of Faith in the Oaks is a small, 100-year old chapel within the Waikumete Cemetery. The chapel is constructed of clay brick, fired at nearby New Lynn. In addition to the need to increase the chapel s seismic strength, the Waitakere City Council s restoration of this historic building had to address settlement of the structure, signs of distress in the walls, and rising damp that was starting to cause the brickwork to deteriorate. The FRP system selected consisted of SikaWrap-100G E-glass fabric laminated with Sikadur 300 epoxy resin. BBR Contech impregnated the SikaWrap with resin on site and applied the fabric to the walls in widths up to 600mm wide and lengths up to 8m long. In total 200m² of SikaWrap was applied, substantially increasing the chapel s strength.

50 FRPsolutions for Historic Structures Considered the cultural centre of Christchurch, the Christchurch Arts Centre is also one of the city s most significant heritage sites. It was established in 1873 as the University of Canterbury and is acknowledged today as one of the best and most extensive examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the country. A number of the buildings were seismically strengthened prior to the September 2010 Darfield earthquake and these buildings have performed remarkably well in both the September 2010 and February 2011 seismic events. With a Category 1 rating from the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, the Arts Centre s restoration plan requires meticulous attention to detail and compliance with the highest standards of conservation practice. This extends to the earthquake strengthening project at the former Arts School building. Working closely with main contractor Fletcher Construction and structural engineer Holmes Consulting Group, BBR Contech has strengthened five of the building s internal walls with fibrereinforced polymer (FRP) technology. FRP offers a number of significant advantages to restoration projects like these. Lightweight and with thicknesses of just 0.5mm to 1.5mm, it s easy to apply while offering an impressive strengthto-weight ratio. It s also corrosion resistant and can be covered with a variety of plaster finishes and coatings ideal when you re trying to achieve a close-to-original finish. Because this is an historic building, we were required to remove then replace the original wall linings, says John Hare, Director of Holmes Consulting. Using FRP with an applied thickness of just 3mm enabled us to do this with little impact on the existing linings. After some rebuilding of the underlying original volcanic basalt stone walls, BBR Contech applied about 200m 2 of SikaWrap unidirectional glass fibre fabric. The internal linings were then reinstated to return the rooms to near-original condition with no visible sign of the restoration work beneath. FRP is proving an excellent alternative to concrete in projects like this, says John Hare. It s light weight which means there s no need for additional foundation work, and it also offers strength without too much stiffness. Plus its application can be targeted it only needs to be applied to the weak points where it s needed so it s often more cost effective too. BBR Contech has played an important role in the success of this project, says John Hare Having worked with the company many times before, we knew they d deliver an excellent service. They have a genuine interest in the project, are consistently helpful and have excellent technical back-up. They re a pleasure to work with. The September 2010 Darfield earthquake and the devastating earthquake in February 2011 have subjected the strengthening work at the Arts Centre to some significant real life testing under extreme seismic loads. The strengthened buildings performed very well and to expectations. The former Arts School is one of the few buildings on the site that suffered minimal damage. BBR Contech applied SikaWrap-100G fabric seismic strengthening to the historic Arts Centre buildings in Christchurch Client: Engineer: Contractor: The Arts Centre of Canterbury Trust Holmes Consulting Group Fletcher Construction Company Sika (NZ) Ltd has available, for public use, design software based on fib Bulletin 14, to assist engineers with the design of FRP for structural strengthening.

51 Lichfield Street» Column confinement with FRP Shirley Community Centre One of the main benefits of FRP strengthening solutions, as demonstrated in the seismic upgrading of the Shirley Community Centre, is the low impact on building occupants during and after FRP installation. The Shirley Community Centre in Christchurch is a masonry/brick structure, extensively and continuously used by local community groups. The use of SikaWrap-100G fabric to strengthen the walls of the centre, allowed the building to continue to be used during the upgrade. Fletcher Construction was awarded the head contract for the strengthening works and subcontracted the FRP component to BBR Contech. Structural Engineer Holmes Consulting Group had identified seven individual wall areas requiring FRP strengthening. In addition to the SikaWrap-100G fabric, FRP rod anchors were installed to bond the applied fabric to the concrete foundation beams. Occupants were relocated within the building as strengthening work progressed, allowing the building to continue to be used. At the completion of the strengthening, internal linings were reinstated over the applied FRP. Although access to the building has been restricted following the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the building performed well after the September 2010 earthquake and appears to have survived the February earthquake as relatively intact. The strengthening of this three-level building in Lichfield Street, Christchurch is an excellent demonstration of what is possibly the most efficient and elegant use of FRP materials the use of FRP fabric to confine columns, to increase load-carrying capacity and ductility. In this project, undertaken for Pace Project Management and structural engineer Holmes Consulting Group, a three-storey building in central Christchurch was seismically upgraded using FRP. SikaWrap-100G glass fibre fabric was applied to the upper and lower 1400mm of rectangular external columns on the ground and first floors, to enhance column confinement. The works included removal of the surface plaster back to the original concrete substrate, preparation of the underlying surfaces, and application of a single layer of SikaWrap-100G. The FRP wraps were subsequently overlaid by solid plaster to build the column out to the original surface profile before painting, providing an invisible seismic upgrade of the building. The building is still intact following the February 2011 earthquake but as it is situated within the dangerous red zone, with restricted access, the final condition of the building is yet to be assessed.

Client: Engineer: Contractor: SIKA NZ [email protected] Christchurch City Council Holmes Consulting Group Fletcher Construction Company Ltd Auckland: Wellington: Christchurch: The devastating Christchurch earthquake on 22 February 2011 was a tragedy that affected all of the country. Both Sika and Contech have offices in Christchurch and our first thoughts were naturally for the safety of our colleagues and friends in those offices. Fortunately, as communication slowly came through, we learnt that they were all safe. The news, of course, was not so good for so many other people. Soon after those tragic first days, the enormity of the task of helping and supporting those people who had lost their homes, or essential services to the homes, became apparent. Sika was therefore pleased to be able to donate $100,000 to the New Zealand Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal. 4
