A large‐scale physics‐based simulation is conducted to investigate ground motion
distribution in the Mw 7.0 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, Japan. The model simulates the …

Landslides are major natural disasters in mountainous areas, often caused by earthquakes
and heavy rainfalls. Traditional manual delineation methods for identifying landslide …

A series of earthquakes occurred in Kumamoto, Japan, in April 2016, which caused
numerous landslides. In this study, high-resolution pre-event and post-event optical imagery …

The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake first occurred on April 14, 2016 with magnitude 6.5 in
Kumamoto, Japan as a foreshock. Subsequently, after 28 h, an even larger earthquake …

Abstract On 28 September 2018, the Mw 7.5 Sulawesi earthquake occurred in Indonesia,
triggering long-distance flow-type landslides on very gentle slopes in and around Palu City …

Small strain mechanical properties are a prerequisite for seismic analysis and design.
Corresponding studies on volcanic soils are by themselves limited while research on some …

Soil liquefaction is a progressive research area in geotechnical earthquake engineering,
since the 1964 Niigata, Japan, and 1964 Alaska, USA earthquakes. Researchers worldwide …

The seismic behaviors of retaining walls were evaluated considering only a single
earthquake. However, aftershock or foreshock ground motions can occasionally be as …

Following the M7. 0 strike-slip earthquake near Kumamoto, Japan, in April of 2016, most
geotechnical engineering experts believed that there would be significant soil liquefaction …

Contemporary analysis–design methods against faulting can significantly improve life-
safety, but the problem of permanent deformation persists. This paper proposes a novel …
