The Continued Utility of Probabilistic Seismic
The Continued Utility of Probabilistic Seismic

... The recurrence interval for Darfield-sized earthquakes estimated from this distributed seismicity model is of the order of 11,000 years (Stirling et al., 2012), which is of an order similar to the emerging recurrence estimates for the Greendale Fault derived from paleoseismology (uncertain recurrenc ...

A regional stress oriented at 45° to the fault favors strikeslip faulting in the same sense as the main event (or antithetic to it). R ...

... tectonic plates that are fringed by large subduction zones move the fastest. If the plate driving forces such as slab pull and ridge push are both oriented in the same direction, as is the case for the Australian Plate (Figure 1A, B), why don’t these plates continue to accelerate in accordance with ...

Lifting earthquake-affected buildings in Christchurch

... There are a number of methods that house movers use to support buildings once they have been lifted. The method they use depends on a range of factors including: size of building, topography of site, exposure to wind, and complexity of the new foundations. Note: lifting and stabilising work conducte ...

Earthquake casualty estimation



Recent advances are improving the speed and accuracy of loss estimates immediately after earthquakes (within less than an hour) so that injured people may be rescued more efficiently. After major and large earthquakes, rescue agencies and civil defense managers rapidly need quantitative estimates of the extent of the potential disaster, at a time when information from the affected area may not yet have reached the outside world. For the injured below the rubble every minute counts.To rapidly provide estimates of the extent of an earthquake disaster is much less of a problem in industrialized than in developing countries. This article focuses on how one can estimate earthquake losses in developing countries in real time.
