  1. Anthony Adams Securing of Unreinforced Masonry Parapets The University of Auckland, New Zealand Host Mentors: DmytroDizhur & Liam Wotherspoon UCSD Mentor: Lelli Van Den Einde Aug 7th 2013

  2. Experiment Multiple two leaf parapets, secured using common retrofits of the area and experimentally validated retrofits, will be dynamically loaded on a Shake table to provide experimental data of their effectiveness in a dynamic setting. Test both experimentally validated and industry accepted retrofits for URM parapets to see which methods are the most effective. Goals

  3. Securing of URM parapets Finished Building the Shake Table at the off campus facility. 2 parapets are almost done curing and are being prepared for testing. Data Processing for the Victoria St. Masonry Wall Testing.

  4. Next Week Continue updating the Working Model of the parapet and attach the different retrofits that we will be testing. Finish Data Processing for Victoria St.. Write a brief report for Victoria Street Masonry Wall testing.

  5. Auckland Ferry Terminal Albert Park Got a lift to Mt.Eden. Forgot my Camera… 40MPH winds and cloudy anyway. Still awesome view!

  6. Auckland Winter Festival in the CBD of Auckland Ate pig tongue… it was chewy. My actual dinner was really good Korean BBQ.
