Surface Rupture of the November 2002 M7.9 Denali Fault Earthquake, Alaska, and Comparison to Other Strike-Slip Ruptures

, 2004
On November 3, 2002, a moment-magnitude (Mw) 7.9 earthquake produced 340 km of surface rupture on the Denali fault and two related faults in central Alaska.

Tsunamigenic earthquakes from tectonics to dynamic rupture

, 2020
Earthquakes on large thrust faults in subduction zones can cause tsunamis with devastating consequences. Therefore, it is important to understand how these events nucleate, propagate, and generate tsunamis. As it is difficult to achieve this with the limited number of direct measurements of the conditions in subduction zones, many studies have ...

A Phase‐Field Model for Quasi‐Dynamic Rupture Nucleation and Propagation of In‐Plane Faults

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Computational modeling of faulting processes is an essential tool for understanding earthquake mechanics but remains challenging due to the structural and material complexities of fault zones. The phase‐field method has recently enabled unified modeling of fault propagation and off‐fault damage within a fracture‐mechanics‐based framework ...

Pre‐Existing Off‐Fault Damage Can Impede Coseismic On‐Fault Slip

Geophysical Research Letters
Primarily due to the scarce direct field evidence along a same fault, understanding the relationship between the pre‐existing off‐fault damage and coseismic slip distribution remains challenging.

The Dynamics of Fast and Slow Earthquake Ruptures in Viscoelastic Materials

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
AbstractClassical theories using linear elasticity predict that crack propagation asymptotically approaches a limiting speed, beyond which the energy balance becomes unphysical. However, geophysical and laboratory observations show that ruptures can propagate at either a very low, stable speed or a significantly high speed. Here, we first use numerical

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

Shear Fault Formation in Granite Under High and Transient Co‐Seismic Strain Rates Unveiled by Ultra‐Fast X‐Ray Imaging

Geophysical Research Letters
During an earthquake a dynamic rupture propagates, causing fractures and permanent damage that modify the mechanical properties of the fault and its surroundings.

Determinants of Community Resilience: A Multi‐Level Synthesis of Empirical and Conceptual Evidence

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Community resilience research remains fragmented across disciplines, with limited integration of empirical evidence and conceptual scholarship. This study addresses this gap through a directed content analysis of 48 empirical case studies and 39 conceptual and review publications from diverse geographical and hazard contexts.

Anomalous stress diffusion in earthquake triggering: Correlation length, time dependence, and directionality [PDF]

, 2003
It has been recently suggested that moderate and large earthquakes can be triggered by similarly sized events at very long range. Here we study the main characteristics of earthquake triggering by determining its correlation length, time dependence, and ...

TRM‐to‐concrete interface bond without anchors: Combined experimental, analytical, and numerical modeling approach

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.
