What we have learned from the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake and …
2018年7月26日 · 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.
Building Back Better: Lessons Learned from Sichuan Earthquake on ...
2021年1月6日 · While perhaps an unintended benefit, the implementation of new building codes limiting the use of low-grade structural materials in China, directly attributable to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, has led to significant CO 2 savings in one of its leading carbon-emitting sectors. The far-reaching effects of building code changes after the Sichuan ...
Preliminary report of the September 5, 2022 MS 6.8 Luding …
2022年9月5日 · The 2022 M S 6.8 Luding earthquake is the strongest earthquake in Sichuan Province, Western China, since the 2017 M S 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.
Structural constraints of induced earthquakes in the Weiyuan …
2023年10月5日 · Here we conduct body-wave travel time tomography, earthquake relocation, and structural analysis in the Weiyuan Shale Gas Field (WSGF), Sichuan Basin, China. We find that structural deformation of the Weiyuan anticline and the newly revealed basement rift constrained the locations and magnitudes of M L ≥ 3.0 earthquakes in the WSGF.
Reconstruction strategies after the Wenchuan Earthquake in …
2011年8月1日 · For example, taking the 32 resultant quake lakes, China plans to form a huge lake formed from the Sichuan earthquake disaster into a tourist destination. 9 In another example, the construction of the Wenchuan Earthquake Memorial or Commemorative Museum will be a new tourism resource, and will bring new tourism revenues. The Tourism Bureau of ...
Earthquake potential of the Sichuan-Yunnan region, western China
2015年8月1日 · The historical earthquake records in the Sichuan-Yunnan region, however, are limited to only a few hundreds of years, and more events are missing further back in time. It is evident from Fig. 2 a that although many M < 7.5 events are noticeably missing prior to 1900, the big ones of M > 7.5 are unlikely missing.
Landslides induced by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan, …
2010年6月1日 · 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).
