The research legacy of the Wenchuan Earthquake: a new review
The research legacy of the Wenchuan Earthquake: a new review Ten years ago the most destructive seismic event in a generation, the Wenchuan Earthquake, struck the Longmenshan in Siichuan Province in China. I covered the event on this blog – indeed on 12th May 2008, at 07:27 UT, 29 minutes after the Earthquake occurred, I wrote: “it is reasonable to assume that this earthquake will have triggered large numbers of …

Shaking table tests of the Newmark displacement method for earthquake induced landslides
In a new paper just published in Landslides, Li et al. (2018) use a shaking table model to show that the Newmark displacement method overestimates the critical acceleration value for earthquake induced landslides
