Sichuan Earthquake 2008 - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
To date, the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan, China, remains the most thoroughly studied source of coseismic slope instability and associated river blockage. Nearly 40 scientific papers have been published on landslide dams triggered by this earthquake alone (Elsevier SCOPUS database, last accessed December 2013). Detailed mapping from pre- and post-earthquake remote-sensing data indicate ...
Reconstruction strategies after the Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan ...
An intensive earthquake, the Wenchuan Earthquake measured at 8.0 on the Richter scale, struck Western Sichuan, China, on May 12, 2008. Official figures confirmed 69,185 dead, including 68,636 in Sichuan province, 374,171 injured and 184,671 listed as missing. 1 Millions of people became homeless, large numbers of buildings were completely ruined, highways, water supply, sewage, gas and power ...
Landslides induced by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan, China
The Wenchuan earthquake occurred at 2:28 pm local time (6:28 UTC) on May 12, 2008, near the west edge of the Sichuan Basin in China. This earthquake had a magnitude of Mw 7.9 and a focal depth of 19 km at 30.986°N, 103.364°E (USGS, 2008). An outstanding characteristic of this earthquake is that it was accompanied by fault ruptures over a distance of ∼ 270 km (Burchfiel et al., 2008, Li et ...
Sustainable waste management strategies for earthquake debris: Lessons ...
This section explores two significant seismic events—the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China and the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake—that demonstrate the destructive potential of seismic activity and how it affects the functionality of structures.
Preliminary report of the September 5, 2022 MS 6.8 Luding earthquake ...
The 2022 MS 6.8 Luding earthquake is the strongest earthquake in Sichuan Province, Western China, since the 2017 MS 7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake. It occurred on the Moxi fault in the southeastern segment of the Xianshuihe fault, a tectonically active and mountainous region with severe secondary earthquake disasters.
What we have learned from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and its ...
The 2008 M w 7.9 Wenchuan Earthquake (Sichuan, China) was possibly the largest and most destructive recent earthquake as far as the geo-hazards are concerned. Of the nearly 200,000 landslides triggered originally, many remobilized within a few years after the initial event by rainfall, which often caused catastrophic debris flows. The cascades of geo-hazards related to the Wenchuan Earthquake ...
The 2022 Luding, Sichuan, China, M 6.8 earthquake: A fluid-related ...
The 2022 Luding M 6.8 earthquake is a typic example. Therefore, it is of great importance to obtain a three-dimensional (3-D) high-resolution crustal velocity model around the Luding earthquake source area to better understand the strong earthquake mechanism and seismic risk of the fault zone.
Rapid report of seismic damage to buildings in the 2022
On September 5, 2022, an M 6.8 earthquake struck Luding county, Sichuan Province, southwestern China. As of 17:00 September 11, 93 people were killed and 25 were missing in the earthquake (CCTV News, 2022). According to the intensity map announced by the Ministry of Emergency Management of China on September 11 (MEM, 2022), the maximum intensity based on an extensive field survey was IX on a ...
Liquefaction in western Sichuan Basin during the 2008 ... - ScienceDirect
Strong ground shaking during the 2008 Mw 7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred in the foothills of the Longmen Shan in southwestern China, resulted …
Rupture process and aftershock focal mechanisms of the 2022
The left-lateral strike-slip Xianshuihe fault formed the seismogenic structure of the 2022 M6.8 Luding earthquake in Sichuan. We inverted the rupture process of the mainshock using the IDS method with waveform data recorded by 15 strong-motion stations within 60 km of the mainshock epicenter. The focal mechanism solutions of 10 aftershocks were inverted using the waveform fitting method with ...
