A Practical Formulation for Seismic Damage Accumulation on Multiple Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences Based on Disaggregation of the Mainshock Hazard

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Earthquakes often occur in clusters (foreshocks, mainshocks, and aftershocks) and can lead to cumulative structural damage. Many studies have extended traditional performance‐based earthquake engineering (PBEE) to account for damage accumulation in multiple mainshock‐aftershock (MS‐AS) sequences using Markov chain processes and state‐dependent

Landsliding and sediment dynamics following the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake in the Beichuan area of China [PDF]

, 2011
Extensive and widespread landsliding is a common feature in a post-earthquake mountainous environment. The intense seismic shaking of an earthquake leaves the ground destabilised and thus very susceptible to slope failure.

LLM‐based prior elicitation for Bayesian graphical modeling

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Bayesian graphical modeling framework, priors on network structure encode theoretical assumptions and uncertainty about the topology of psychological constructs under study. For instance, the Bernoulli prior specifies the probability of each pairwise interaction, the Beta–Bernoulli prior governs expected network density, and the ...

Controls on the distribution of landslides triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan Province, China [PDF]

, 2010
Landsliding is the dominant mass wasting process in upland areas where the rate of river incision is higher than that of rock weathering of hillslopes.

How Has the Wenchuan Earthquake Influenced People's Intertemporal Choices?

, 2011
On May 12, 2008, a major magnitude-8.0 earthquake shook Wenchuan, China. An opportunity sample of 104 college students was obtained to conduct a within-subject study investigating the influence of the earthquake on intertemporal choices.

PSEUDO-DYNAMIC TEST OF CFST BRIDGE PIER UNDER DIFFERENT GROUND EXCITATIONS [PDF]

Civil Engineering Journal, 2018
The dynamic testing of large-scale structures continues to play a significant role in earthquake engineering research. The pseudo-dynamic test (PDT) is an experimental technique for simulating the earthquake response of structures and structural ...

Enhancing Risk Knowledge in Civil Society Organization Leadership: Case‐Based Evidence From China

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The escalating complexity of China's disaster risk landscape demands a new strategic leadership from civil society organizations (CSOs) to navigate systemic and cascading risks. While the national policies increasingly formalize the role of CSOs in disaster risk reduction (DRR), existing training provisions do not adequately develop the risk ...

Victims' Time Discounting 2.5 Years after the Wenchuan Earthquake: An ERP Study

, 2012
Background: Time discounting refers to the fact that the subjective value of a reward decreases as the delay until its occurrence increases. The present study investigated how time discounting has been affected in survivors of the magnitude-8.0 Wenchuan ...

Medium-Term Earthquake Forecast Using Gravity Monitoring Data: Evidence from the Yutian and Wenchuan Earthquakes in China

International Journal of Geophysics, 2012
Gravity changes derived from regional gravity monitoring data in China from 1998 to 2005 exhibited noticeable variations before the occurrence of two large earthquakes in 2008 in China—the 2008 Yutian (Xinjiang) Ms=7.3 earthquake and the 2008 Wenchuan ...
