Abstract The physical mechanisms that govern the multi‐scale source properties of earthquakes, such as fracture energy scaling, where the dynamic energy dissipation of earthquakes scales with fault slip, remain debatable. We introduced the rate‐ and roughness‐dependent friction (RRF) law which accounts for the multi‐scale roughness evolution of the ...

Psychological Typhoon Eye in the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake
El 12 de mayo de 2008, un terremoto de 8.0 en la escala de Richter sacudió Wenchuan, China, provocando 69,227 muertes y 374,643 heridos, con 17,923 desaparecidos al 25 de septiembre de 2008, y sacudió a toda la nación. Evaluamos los efectos devastadores en la preocupación de las personas por la seguridad y la salud después del terremoto. Del 4 de junio

Abstract The 1906 Manas Earthquake is the largest earthquake recorded in the Borohoro Shan (BRS) since 1900. The reported magnitude ranges from 7.2 to 8.3, but uncertainties remain regarding its size, mechanism, and responsible fault. Similar confusion exists for the 1812 Nilke and 1944 Xinyuan Earthquakes, the only other Mw > 7 earthquakes in the NE ...

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 ...

Numerical investigation of the response of the Yele rockfill dam during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake [PDF]
In this paper the seismic response of a well-documented Chinese rockfill dam, Yele dam, is simulated and investigated employing the dynamic hydro-mechanically (HM) coupled finite element (FE) method.

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.
