Regional Risk Assessment of Earthquake-triggered Landslides [PDF]

Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (JRACR), 2015
Great earthquakes occurring in mountainous areas can trigger large-scale landslides, leading to serious geological disasters. Thus, in recent years, especially after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, much attention has been focused on the research about ...

Why Some Firms Perceive Climate Risks and Others Do Not—Evidence From the Logistics Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how companies perceive risks stemming from climate change as a gradual process, focusing on the logistics sector. It advances research on organizational climate risk perception by integrating perspectives on embeddedness and resource configurations. Based on 41 semi‐structured interviews with representatives of 22 logistics

Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

Directionality Scaling of Scalar and Vector Ground Motion Intensity Measures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The azimuthal directionality of earthquake ground‐motion intensity measures (IMs) is conventionally described by the ratios between the orientation‐independent maximum (RotD100) and median (RotD50) values over the horizontal plane. This study presents a refined characterization of the directionality of 31 IMs, including spectral accelerations (

Landslide hazard assessment of the fault zone considering the fault effect: a case study of the Lixian–Luojiabu fault zone in Gansu Province (China)

Frontiers in Earth Science
The earthquake landslide hazard assessment method is mainly based on the traditional Newmark model. However, when the landslide hazard assessment is carried out along the fault zone, the calculated results are often different from the actual situation ...
