Simulation of Dynamic Interface Fracture Using Spectral Boundary Integral Method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Simulation of three-dimensional dynamic fracture events constitutes one of the most challenging topics in the field of computational mechanics. Spontaneous dynamic fracture along the interface of two elastic solids is of great importance and interest to ...

Area Balancing Method as a Useful Tool to Estimate the Depth of the Chi-Chi Earthquake Rupture at the Fengyuan Well

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2006
The 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, Mw = 7.6, was associated with a near 100-km-long surface rupture along which the horizontal slip and vertical displacement reached to 9 m and 4 m, respectively, according to coseismic GPS slip vectors.

Interaction of piled foundation with a rupturing normal fault [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Post-seismic observations in the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have indicated that piled foundations may be less suitable than stiff mat foundations in defending a structure against a major normal fault rupturing underneath.

Part I. Slip Behavior of the San Andreas Fault Through Several Earthquake Cycles Part II. A Structural Interpretation of the Aftershock "Cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Part 1 of this thesis addresses the question of how variable fault slip per event is through time. This question is important, because progress in understanding and forecasting large earthquakes depends critically on precise reconstruction of the ...

The tunnel damage effects and implications of the coseismic rupture of the Menyuan MS 6.9 Earthquake in Qinghai, China

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
On January 8, 2022, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake occurred in Menyuan County, Qinghai Province, causing severe deformation and damage to the Da Liang Tunnel of the Lanzhou–Xinjiang high-speed railway, which is the first railway tunnel project broken by ...

The 2000 Tottori earthquake: A shallow earthquake with no surface rupture and slip properties controlled by depth [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2005
The Mw6.8 Tottori earthquake, Japan, does not exhibit any surface trace but was particularly well instrumented. Strong motion displacement records and GPS coseismic data are used to constrain the evolution of the slip on the fault plane in time and space.

The 2012 Thabeikkjin (Myanmar) M 7.0 earthquake and its surface rupture characteristics

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
Based on the first-hand data obtained from the field survey in terms of geology, landforms, earthquake ruins, this paper focuses on the activity behavior of the Sagaing fault, as well as the damaged buildings and seismic surface rupture zone generated by

Surface Rupturing and Buried Dynamic-Rupture Models Calibrated with Statistical Observations of Past Earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2008
In the context of the slip-weakening friction model and simplified asper- ity models for stress state, we calibrate dynamic rupture models for buried and surface-rupturing earthquakes constrained with statistical observations of past earth- quakes. These observations are the kinematic source models derived from source in- versions of ground-motion and ...
