The response law of far-field seismic ground motion of the Wenchuan earthquake and its damaging mechanism in the Loess Plateau

open access: yesEarthquake Research Advances, 2022
A series of housing collapses and other serious damage was caused by the 2008 Wenchuan MS 8.0 earthquake in the seismic intensity Ⅵ areas of the Loess Plateau, which is hundreds of kilometers away from the epicenter, and which showed a remarkable seismic

Measuring county resilience after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Disaster Risk Science, 2015
Abstract. The catastrophic earthquake in 2008 has caused serious damage to Wenchuan County and the surrounding area in China. In recent years, great attention has been paid to the resilience of the affected area. This study applied a new framework, the Resilience Inference Measurement (RIM) model, to quantify and validate the community resilience of ...

Constraining the Relative Chronology of Repeated Large Earthquakes in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt, Eastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract The Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault Zone (YBFZ), located in the Longmen Shan Thrust Belt (LSTB) on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, is highly seismically active. However, direct evidence of large earthquakes at depth is scarce. Here, we present rock magnetic, microstructural, and geochemical analyses of four fault zones from the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault ...

Possible precursory anomalies in ground water level associated with the Wenchuan Ms 8.0 earthquake in 2008, Sichuan, China

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2020
We have examined the water level data from 16 wells in Sichuan province, China, recorded before the Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake occurred in 2008. We found that the data of 5 among these wells exhibit possible precursory anomalies, which are respectively ...

GPS observation in Sichuan-Yunnan and its vicinity before and after the Wenchuan earthquake in a decade

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2021
Based on the horizontal velocity data observed by GPS during 2004–2007, 2007–2009, and 2011–2017 before, during, and after the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan-Yunnan and its vicinity, we analyze evolution features of the tectonic deformation caused by ...

Strategic Optimization of Medical Oxygen Supply Chains for Healthcare Response in Concurrent Multi‐Disaster Scenarios

open access: yesConcurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 8, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We propose a dynamic optimization framework for Medical Oxygen Supply Chains (MOSCs) operating under concurrent disasters. The framework aims to minimize both the total response and transportation time, as well as the total operational cost. These goals are subject to constraints involving evacuation, capacity, maintenance, and inventory.

Typical collapse modes of confined masonry buildings under strong earthquake loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Confined masonry structures are a widely applied structural system in many developing countries. During the past Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, numerous confined masonry buildings collapsed, while many others suffered damage.

Stick-slip nucleation triggering of Wenchuan earthquake

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2021
The MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12th, 2008 on the steeply reverse fault of the Longmen Shan fault zone, Western China. Catastrophic failure and rupture occurred along the listric sliding surface. Several numerical simulations have been performed to reconfigure the dynamic processes of this strong earthquake.

Inventory of Landslides Triggered by Heavy Rainfall in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, June 2019

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study established a comprehensive landslide database triggered by a single rainfall event in Fuling District, Chongqing, China, to improve the accuracy of landslide prediction and early warning models. It provides scientific data support for disaster prevention and reduction in the study area.
