Stress triggering of the 2022 Lushan–Maerkang earthquake sequence by historical events and its implication for fault stress evolution in eastern Tibet

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
It remains unknown how stress triggering causes earthquakes in the eastern Tibetan Plateau following the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008. The MS 6.1 Lushan earthquake on 1 June 2022 in a seismic gap between the 2008 MW 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 MW

Wenchuan earthquake fault and seismic disaster [PDF]

Earthquake Science, 2009
Major cases of the MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake are obtained through field investigations of the epicenter and high-intensity areas, and the relationships among earthquake faults, ground motion and earthquake disasters near fault zones are analyzed. Both strong deformation and ground rupture lead to significant damages of the buildings, indicating that it

Spatial and temporal b-value precursors preceding the 2008 Wenchuan, China, earthquake (Mw = 7.9): implications for earthquake prediction

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
The sudden and unexpected Wenchuan earthquake (Mw = 7.9) occurred on the Longmen Shan Fault without any definite precursors. Therefore, a new computing strategy of b-values was applied in the study area around the epicenter of the Wenchuan mainshock ...
