The Wenchuan earthquake

2011
The Wenchuan earthquake was the most destructive earthquake in China, with the widest zone of influence and the most serious disaster-induced losses, since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949. Measured at M s8.0 in magnitude, and XI on the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale of felt effects, the earthquake also caused severe secondary ...

The 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and Earthquake Prediction in China

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2010
Abstract For historical reasons, earthquake prediction in China is government sanctioned and law regulated. During 1966–1976, coinciding with the political and social turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, there was an explosion of earthquake prediction.

Postseismic deformation after 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake

Survey Review, 2014
AbstractApparent postseismic deformation was observed after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, China. The displacement in the direction normal to the fault decays to nearly zero after 2013, but the significant dextral movement did not decay obviously during our observation of up to May 2013.

Lessons from the Wenchuan Earthquake

2015
A strong earthquake like the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12th, 2008 in China could cause huge losses in human lives and properties damages in a short time. Reconstruction projects have been carried out after the earthquake. Some lesson have been discussed: under estimation of the seismic Intensity; mountain towns built on active faults; Poor anti ...

The genetic mechanism of Wenchuan Earthquake

Journal of Mountain Science, 2011
The genetic mechanism of the 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake is still being debated and there is still no convincing general explanation for most of the phenomena. This is because researchers have ignored the important role of the Minshan block in the seismogenic process. The authors present a new opinion based on geological survey and comprehensive analyses.

Historical Earthquakes, Ms8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake and Its Aftershocks

2010
Current earthquake prediction methods were so far mostly based on recorded historical earthquakes. However, our knowledge of long-term earthquake behaviour is strongly restricted by the rarity of large earthquakes and the short historical and instrumental records of earthquakes, and hence our understanding could be misled by incomplete and unreliable ...
