Structural damage arising from slope movements: Inspecting and assessing houses

This guidance is for structural engineers and others involved in inspecting and assessing houses affected by slope movements.

Drawing on recent experiences from severe weather events and previous earthquakes in New Zealand, it highlights the unique damage patterns and repair considerations associated with landslides and slope instability.

The report focuses on practical approaches to assessment and the development of repair strategies, recognising the additional complexities that slope movements present compared to earthquake damage.
