In 2010 and 2011, the city of Christchurch (New Zealand) was hit by a sequence of strong, local and devastating earthquakes. The 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake was the most devastating causing 185 fatalities, collapse of two multi-storey reinforced concrete buildings, collapse or partial collapse of many unreinforced masonry buildings, and widespread and very damaging liquefaction throughout the city. The total economic loss caused by the 2010–2011 earthquakes is estimated at about 25–30 billion New Zealand Dollars, or 15–18% of New Zealand GDP. This paper summarizes the characteristics of the earthquakes and discusses the impacts of liquefaction on buildings and infrastructure, and building structural performance.
