Hydraulic properties of fault zones are important to understanding the pore pressure development and stability. In this work, we examined relationship between water level changes caused by 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 earthquake faults using four wells with same lithology around Three Gorges Dam, China. Two penetrating damage recorded sustained changes, while other two that not any transient changes. T...

Earthquake and scouring are the leading causes of bridge failure worldwide, resulting not only in casualties fatalities but also enormous societal economic losses. A great number bridges earthquake-prone countries cross rivers have shallow foundations, which renders them highly vulnerable to combined effects earthquake flood-induced scour. Thus, research on dynamic response with foundations und...

INTRODUCTION In recent years, several massive earthquakes have occurred across the globe. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is reliable in detecting spinal injuries. The purpose of this study was to compare the features of spinal injuries resulting from the Sichuan earthquake with those of non-earthquake-related spinal trauma using MDCT. METHODS Features of spinal injuries of 223 Sichu...

Seismic performance assessment of water distribution systems (WDSs) based on hydraulic simulation is essential for resilience evaluation WDSs under earthquake disasters. The mainly to determine how the supply will be affected due pipe breaks caused by earthquake, with loss estimated nodes. Existing research works usually use average or overall metric all user nodes as system indicator without c...

Abstract Aftershocks are a fundamental characteristic of seismicity, and their generation mechanism is mainly characterized by two physical models, stress transfer from large earthquakes afterslip-induced loading. However, the contribution each to aftershock remains unclear. Here we investigate spatiotemporal variations in activity following 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake applying Hierarchical Spac...
