The Wenchuan earthquake produced surface ruptures with the most complicated structures and the greatest length as compared with the intra-plate reverse faulting earthquakes that have ever been reported so far (Xu et al., 2008a). The earthquake ruptured simultaneously both the NE-trending, NW-dipping Beichuan and Pengguan faults with right-slip ...

Reproducibility of Remote Mapping of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Surface Ruptures
Seismological Research Letters, 2023Abstract We use multiple, independently produced surface-rupture maps of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence to test the reproducibility of surface-rupture map interpretation and completeness. The 4 July Mw 6.4 and 5 July Mw 7.1 earthquakes produced surface-rupture zones approximately 20 and 50 km in length, respectively.

Himalayan Surface Rupturing Earthquakes
2023The Himalayan range is affected by very strong, devastating earthquakes that have been mentioned in historical chronicles on numerous occasions since the medieval period. Strong devastating earthquakes affect the entire Himalayan range. These earthquakes result from plate tectonics, and more specifically from the India–Asia convergence.

Geotechnical Mitigation Strategies for Earthquake Surface Fault Rupture
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2013AbstractSurface fault rupture can be damaging to structures built on or near active faults if the hazard is not addressed properly. Fault-induced angular distortion and lateral ground strain can cause beams to yield and eventually lead to structural collapse. When avoidance is not possible, geotechnical mitigation strategies can be used.

Geomorphology, 2014
Abstract Gorum et al. (2013, Geomorphology 184, 127–138) carried out a study on inventory compilation and statistical analyses of landslides triggered by the 2010 Mw 7.0 Haiti earthquake. They revealed that spatial distribution patterns of these landslides were mainly controlled by complex rupture mechanism and topography.

Designing Buildings to Accommodate Earthquake Surface Fault Rupture
Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures, 2009Recent earthquakes have provided several examples of the devastating effects of earthquake surface fault rupture on buildings. Numerous examples of satisfactory performance of buildings have also been observed. These examples of satisfactory performance indicate that similar to other forms of ground movement, effective design strategies can be ...

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2009
Recent ground-motion observations suggest that surface-rupturing earth- quakes generate weaker near-fault ground motion than buried earthquakes. This dif- ference is significant in the period range of 0.3-3 sec. Contributing factors to this phenomenon may include the effect of fault zone weakness at shallow depth on rup- ture dynamics and rupture ...

ACES field guide: surface ruptures of the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake
2023The 2016 November 14 Kaikōura MW 7.8 earthquake occurred in the northern South Island of New Zealand, rupturing several faults of the Marlborough Fault System … The Marlborough Fault System accommodates 35–40 mm/year of relative motion between the Pacific and Australian plates (Beavan et al. 2002).

Surface Rupture Effects on Earthquake Moment-Area Scaling Relations
Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2017Empirical earthquake scaling relations play a central role in fundamental studies of earthquake physics and in current practice of earthquake hazard assessment, and are being refined by advances in earthquake source analysis. A scaling relation between seismic moment (M0) and rupture area (A) currently in use for ground motion prediction in Japan ...

There now exist about three dozen historical earthquakes for which in- vestigators have constructed maps of earthquake rupture traces accompanied by de- scriptions of the coseismic slip observed along the fault strike. The maps and slip distributions are compiled here to place observational bounds on aspects of seismic- hazard analysis and fault ...
