Earthquake Engineering

Earthquake engineering is defined as the scientific branch devoted to the protection of society from earthquake hazards. More specifically earthquake engineering is defined as the behavior study of structures and geostructures during and after an earthquake. Geotechpedia provides a plethora of papers concerning earthquake engineering.

USING THE 2011 MW 9.0 OFF THE PACIC COAST OF TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE TO TEST THE COULOMB STRESS TRIGGERING HYPOTHESIS AND TO CALCULATE FAULTS BROUGHT CLOSER TO FAILURE (2011)
<p>Numerous source models for the mainshock have been inverted from seismic, geodetic, and tsunami observations. In this study is shown that, among six tested source models, there is a mean 47% gain in positively-stressed aftershock mechanisms over that for ...

27 FEBRUARY 2010 CONCEPCION, CHILE EARTHQUAKE – STATUS ON SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION (2010)
Saturday, 27 February 2010, at 6h34 UT, an Earthquake of magnitude 8.8 occurred on the Chilean subduction near the cities of Concepcion, Constitucion and Valparaiso. This event takes place in a long list of earthquakes which have been occurring all along the ...

CONNECTING NEAR-FIELD AND FAR-FIELD EARTHQUAKE TRIGGERING TO DYNAMIC STRAIN (2010)
<p>Any earthquake can trigger more earthquakes. This triggering occurs in both the classical aftershock zone as well as the far field. These populations of triggered earthquakes may or may not be distinct in terms of triggering mechanism. Here we look for ...

FAULTING CHARACTERISTICS OF SUPERSHEAR EARTHQUAKES (2010)
<p>Recent observations of large continental strike-slip earthquakes show that different fault segments may rupture at different speeds and that rupture may propagate faster than the shear wave velocity of surrounding rocks. It is reported in this article that ...

GEO-ENGINEERING RECONNAISSANCE OF THE 2010 MAULE, CHILE EARTHQUAKE (2010)
The February 27, 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake (Mw = 8.8) is the fifth largest earthquake to occur since 1900. Its effects were felt along 600 km of the central Chile coast. Initial field observations suggest that tectonic displacement of the hanging wall produced ...
