Strain Threshold for the Formation of Coseismic Surface Rupture
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo earthquake (eastern Tibetan Plateau), with a surface deformation zone that is characterized by multiple distinct surface rupture segments separated by segments with no surface ruptures, provides an excellent opportunity to constrain

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

Seismic characteristics of supershear and sub‐Rayleigh earthquakes: Implication from simple cases
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 Numerous investigations of supershear earthquakes make a conclusion that a supershear earthquake produces a seismic shock wave on the ground that may increase the resulting destruction. We investigate a supershear rupture promoted by the free surface and

Complex evolution of the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake revealed by teleseismic body waves
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023 The 2016 Kaikoura earthquake, New Zealand, ruptured more than a dozen faults, making it difficult to prescribe a model fault for analyzing the event by inversion.

First paleoseismic evidence for great surface‐rupturing earthquakes in the Bhutan Himalayas [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2016 AbstractThe seismic behavior of the Himalayan arc between central Nepal and Arunachal Pradesh remains poorly understood due to the lack of observations concerning the timing and size of past major and great earthquakes in Bhutan. We present here the first paleoseismic study along the Himalayan topographic front conducted at two sites in southern ...
