Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]
Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]
Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

Background Children often experience both posttraumatic stress (PTS) and depression after potentially traumatic events (PTEs). Latent class analyses (LCAs) identify subgroups with different co‐occurring symptoms, but little is known about what predicts transitions between these symptom classes over time. Analyzing these transitions could reveal factors

Historic seismicity near the source zone of the great 2008 Wenchuan earthquake: Implications for seismic hazards [PDF]
In the past 500 years, 14 historical earthquakes, including one that caused a maximum intensity of IX, occurred over a distance of more than 300 km along the Longmen Shan thrust belt, including portions that did not rupture during the devastating ...

Tectonic Background of the Wenchuan Earthquake [PDF]
Since the occurrence of the Wenchuan Earthquake on May 12, 2008, several papers on its seismotectonics analysis have been published (Lei et al. 2009; Yue, 2010; Chen et al. 2009; Tang et al. 2009; Zhu et al. 2009). Although their opinions were not uniform, most authors believe that the source of the earthquake was the Central Longmen Mountain Range ...

Economic functionality is essential for the recovery of cities and communities following disasters. A crucial factor in reducing business disruptions and guaranteeing their continuity is the capacity of employees to resume work. Facilitating the reintegration of employees into the workforce can expedite their post‐disaster recovery process and assist ...

Temporal variation of gravity field before and after Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake
Absolute and relative gravity data during 1998 to 2008 were used to study gravity field and temporal variation in the North–south seismic-belt region, and their correlation with seismic activities before and after Wenchuan Ms8. 0 earthquake. The temporal

Abstract The Blanco transform fault system (BTFS) represents an evolving transform plate boundary in the Northeast Pacific Ocean. Its seismic behavior was captured with a dense network of 54 ocean‐bottom seismometers (OBS) operated for 1 year. We created a high‐resolution earthquake catalog based on different machine‐learning onset pickers.
