Strike-slip fault terminations at seismogenic depths : the structure and kinematics of the Glacier Lakes fault, Sierra Nevada United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Structural complexity is common at the terminations of earthquake surface ruptures; similar deformation may therefore be expected at the end zones of earthquake ruptures at depth.

Multi-fault rupture behavior of the 1786 M 73/4 Kangding earthquake on the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The 2022 Luding Ms 6.8 earthquake has drawn attention to the Xianshuihe fault zone. Historically, there was an M 73/4 earthquake in this region in 1786.

First paleoseismic evidence for great surface‐rupturing earthquakes in the Bhutan Himalayas [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

The 2010–2011 South Rigan (Baluchestan) earthquake sequence and its implications for distributed deformation and earthquake hazard in southeast Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the source processes and tectonic significance of two earthquakes that occurred on 2010 December 20 (Mw 6.5) and 2011 January 27 (Mw 6.2) within a desert region south of the town of Rigan, SE Iran. The two earthquakes, which we refer to as

Assessment of earthquake-triggered landslide susceptibility considering coseismic ground deformation

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The distance to the surface rupture zone has been commonly regarded as an important influencing factor in the evaluation of earthquake-triggered landslide susceptibility.

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.

Earthquake source parameters of the 2009 Mw 7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake from L-band InSAR observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The 2009 MW7.8 Fiordland (New Zealand) earthquake is the largest to have occurred in New Zealand since the 1931 Mw 7.8 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, 1 000 km to the northwest.

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 ...

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.

MEASURING THE COSEISMIC DISPLACEMENTS OF 2010 Ms7.1 Yushu EARTHQUAKE BY USING SAR AND HIGH RESOLUTION OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGES [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
After the 2010, Mw7.1, Yushu earthquake, many researchers have conducted detail investigations of the surface rupture zone by optical image interpretation, field surveying and inversion of seismic waves.
