Post-earthquake assessment of moderately damaged reinforced concrete plastic hinges

open access: yes, 2020
Modern reinforced concrete buildings are often designed to dissipate energy during strong earthquakes by permitting the controlled formation of plastic hinges. Plastic hinges require assessment of residual capacity in post-earthquake situations. However,

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.

Evidence of Localized Failure Along Altered Basaltic Blocks in Tectonic Mélange at the Updip Limit of the Seismogenic Zone: Implications for the Shallow Slow Earthquake Source

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Field studies have led to several interpretations on the mechanics behind slow earthquake phenomena downdip of the seismogenic zone. To date, field studies have not examined the shallow subduction interface which may also host slow earthquake phenomena ...

Foreshock properties illuminate nucleation processes of slow and fast laboratory earthquakes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Understanding the connection between seismic activity and the earthquake nucleation process is a fundamental goal in earthquake seismology with important implications for earthquake early warning systems and forecasting.

Characteristics of Slow Slip Event in March 2020 Revealed From Borehole and DONET Observatories

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
We have detected an event of pore pressure change (hereafter, we refer it to “pore pressure event”) from borehole stations in real time in March 2020, owing to the network developed by connecting three borehole stations to the Dense Oceanfloor Network ...

Observation of Shallow Slow Earthquakes by Distributed Acoustic Sensing Using Offshore Fiber‐Optic Cable in the Nankai Trough, Southwest Japan

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Off Cape Muroto area, along the Nankai Trough in southwest Japan, is a typical area with adjacent occurrences of slow and megathrust earthquakes. High‐resolution monitoring of slow earthquakes is necessary to understand tectonic conditions.

Applying the Coulomb Failure Function with an optimally oriented plane to the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake triggering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Coulomb failure function (CFF) quantitatively describes static stress changes in secondary faults near the source fault of an earthquake. CFF can be employed to monitor how static stress transfers and then shed some light on the probability of ...

Strongly Scattering Medium Along Slow Earthquake Fault Zones Based on New Observations of Short‐Duration Tremors

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Tremors are a type of slow earthquake with long‐duration signals compared to ordinary earthquakes. The long signals have been considered to solely reflect their long source process.

A comparison of the governance landscape of earthquake risk reduction in Nepal and the Indian State of Bihar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
On 25 April 2015, a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck central Nepal, killing more than 8,700 people. An earthquake of this magnitude has long been anticipated in Nepal and the neighbouring northern Indian state of Bihar, which straddle the active Himalayan ...
