Coseismic slip variation assessed from terrestrial lidar scans of the El Mayor–Cucapah surface rupture

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013
Abstract We analyze high-resolution (>103 points/m2) terrestrial lidar surveys of the 4 April 2010 El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake rupture (Baja California, Mexico), collected at three sites 12–18 days after the event. Using point cloud-based tools in an immersive visualization environment, we quantify coseismic fault slip for hundreds of meters along ...

Airborne LiDAR-Based Mapping of Surface Ruptures and Coseismic Slip of the 1955 Zheduotang Earthquake on the Xianshuihe Fault, East Tibet

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2022
ABSTRACTSurface ruptures and coseismic slip distributions of large earthquakes are the keys to understanding earthquake rupture processes, analyzing rupture history of associated faults, and assessing earthquake hazards. Detailed mapping of surface ruptures of large historical earthquakes is needed but is difficult in remote regions.

3D sandbox and numerical modeling of coseismic surface rupture induced by oblique-slip faulting and its interaction with embedded shallow foundation

Engineering Geology, 2021
Abstract A series of downscaled physical sandbox experiments are conducted to observe the evolution of the surface rupture induced by the oblique-slip faulting and estimate its impact on a rigid embedded shallow foundation. High-resolution orthoimages and digital surface model of the experiments are generated through the photogrammetry technique to ...

The Possibility of Inferring Rupture Depths of Fault Earthquakes from Zero-strain Points of Coseismic Surface Deformation

Seismological Research Letters, 2011
Rupture dimensions of an earthquake fault are important parameters for characterizing the earthquake rupture and studying earthquake mechanics. They have been inferred from aftershock distribution (Alparone and Gambino 2003), seismic reflection and refraction imaging (Minshull and Hall 1997; Catchings et al.

Destruction on Buildings and Houses Related to Coseismic Surface Rupturing

2017
The Kumamoto earthquake series caused a maximum seismic intensity of 7 (on the Japanese 7-point seismic intensity scale) at both areas around the epicenters of the largest foreshock (Mw 6.1) and the Mw 7.1 main shock (Japan Meteorological Agency 2016), indicating severe damage and disruption throughout central Kyushu Island, including the Aso caldera ...

Amounts and Styles of Coseismic Deformation Along the Northern Segment of Surface Rupture, of the 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 Earthquake, China

Tectonophysics, 2010
Abstract The May 12, 2008, Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake occurred along the Longmen Shan fault zone, a thrust fault zone on the eastern margin of Tibet Plateau, and ruptured the ground surface for more than 200 km. A field investigation suggests that the earthquake also ruptured the northern segment (from Beichuan to Qingchuan), along which active ...

Complicated Source Rupture Process and Induced Coseismic Surface Deformation of the Wenchuan Mw 7.9 Earthquake and Their Tectonic Implications

2020
The source rupture processes and coseismic surface rupture of the Wenchuan earthquake are recognized as having the complicated patterns of a great earthquake. In this article, we review some of the Wenchuan earthquake source studies conducted by scientists from Taiwan and mainland China under the scientific cooperation of both sides of the Taiwan ...

Extensional reactivation of thrust faults accompanied by coseismic surface rupture, southwestern Wyoming and north-central Utah

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1993
Extensional reactivation of thrust faults north of the Uinta Mountains in Utah and Wyoming is accompanied by Quaternary surface faulting, tilting, and monoclinal folding. The 40-km-long Bear River fault zone consists of down-to- the-west, right-stepping, en echelon scarps, each about 3.0 to 3.5 km in length, striking N20°W to N20°E.

The Paganica Fault and Surface Coseismic Ruptures Caused by the 6 April 2009 Earthquake (L'Aquila, Central Italy)

Seismological Research Letters, 2009
On 6 April 2009, at 01:32 GMT, an Mw 6.3 seismic event hit the central Apennines, severely damaging the town of L'Aquila and dozens of neighboring villages and resulting in approximately 300 casualties (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, http://www.ingv.it; MedNet, http://mednet.rm.ingv.it/procedure/events/QRCMT/090406_013322/qrcmt.html ...
