Research on seismicity and crustal deformation in the northeastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau: Current status and future prospect

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
The northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, as the primary tectonic front accommodating plateau expansion, represents a crucial region for investigating plateau uplift and lateral growth mechanisms.

Earthquake risk buildings

open access: yesBulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1981
The seismic provisions of the New Zealand Loadings Code are regarded as providing an acceptably low risk to life and property. However, the majority of existing buildings do not meet these requirements, some to a disturbing degree.
 The paper describes a selection of buildings both pre- and post- 1935 which were assessed by the authors' firm for ...

Quaternary Segmentation Characteristics of the Hunhe Fault, Northeast China

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The northern segment of the Tanlu fault zone, which encompasses the Dunhua–Mishan and Yilan–Yitong fault zones, plays a critical role in the tectonic framework of Northeast China. This study focuses on the Hunhe fault, part of the Liaoning segment of the

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessments for Myanmar and its metropolitan areas

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2023
Although Myanmar is an earthquake-prone country, there has not been proposed an official national seismic hazard map. Thus, this study conducted a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for Myanmar and some of its metropolitan areas.

Earthquake Risk and Earthquake Insurance

open access: yesHokengakuzasshi (JOURNAL of INSURANCE SCIENCE), 2008
地震リスクには,他のリスクと比較してさまざまな特性があり,そのために保険困難な要素が多い。これを克服するために,空間的リスクに加えて,時間的リスクを大幅に取り込むことで,リスク分散を実現しようとする。しかしこれは,保険原理の観点からは,重大な問題を含んでいる。そこで,本稿では,非常に特異な性質を有する地震保険について,保険原理に照らしながら,構造的特徴ならびに限界について考察しながら,官民役割分担のあり方について論じる。とりわけ,地震保険に見られる逆選択現象の本質を捉えつつ,その対処策として採用されている地域別料率について,過度の採用は水平的不公平を増大させる恐れがあることから,むしろ,耐震構造に対するウェイトを高めた料率設定を行うことが,契約者間の公平性に照らして望ましいことを主張する。

Selection Strategies for Flexible Pressure Sensor Electrode Materials Toward Ultrafast Response

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals, for the first time, how the electrode–organic interface governs the temporal performance of flexible pressure sensors. By pairing high‐conductivity CVD PEDOT with commonly used metal electrodes, the authors demonstrate that interfacial energy alignment dictates microsecond‐scale response, providing a straightforward design strategy ...
