Based on the field investigation and the summary of the published research results of the April 20, 2013, Lushan, Sichuan, China, MS7.0 earthquake, having occurred along the same fault zone which accommodated the May 12, 2008, Wenchuan MS8.0 earthquake, this Brief tries to describe and discuss the special earthquake phenomenology associated with both the local geology and the changing society. Since the occurrence of this earthquake, there have been the scientific debates on (1) the seismo-tectonics of this earthquake which has no primary seismic fault discovered on the surface of the ground; (2) the relation between this earthquake and the Wenchuan earthquake (i.e., whether it can be considered as one of the aftershocks); and (3) how well have been accomplished in the reduction of earthquake disasters, 5 years after the Wenchuan earthquake. This Brief also tries to introduce the studies and practice of Chinese seismological agencies for the reduction of earthquake disasters. Due to language and cultural barriers, such an introduction makes sense not only for English readers but also for Chinese readers. For example, people (abroad) are always asking why there are so many Chinese seismologists working on earthquake prediction. In fact the Chinese wording 'earthquake prediction' has a much wider coverage than that in English. And actually the Chinese approach to (time-dependent) seismic hazard has no systematic difference from outside world in its methodology.

Rock Mechanics Based on an Anisotropic Jointed Rock Model (AJRM)
Author: Walter Wittke | Size: 184 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Ernst & Sohn | Year: 2014 | Pages: 875 | ISBN: 9783433030790, 9783433604311, 9783433604298, 9783433604281, 9783433604304
This book focuses on the fundamentals of rock mechanics as a basis for the safe and economical design and construction of tunnels, dam foundations and slopes in jointed and anisotropic rock.
It is divided into four main parts:
- Fundamentals and models
- Analysis and design methods
- Exploration, testing and monitoring
- Applications and case histories.
The rock mechanical models presented account for the influence of discontinuities on the stress-strain behavior and the permeability of jointed rock masses.
This book is for:
- Civil- and Mining-Engineers
- Geologists
- Students in the related fields

Presents a method to describe wheel–soil dynamics by means of measured soil stresses and deformations
Provides methods and experimental data that can be used in verification of FEM models
Gives a novel methodology for describing off-road traction
Contains computer-based, noncontact measurement technology to determine vehicle traction-related variables and parameters
Applies three-dimensional soil stress state analysis, used for agricultural applications, to off-road traction analysis
Includes more than 170 illustrations and numerous tables
Summary
Why is knowledge of soil stress and deformation state important for off-road locomotion? How do you measure soil stress and deformation under wheel loads? What are the actual values of stresses and deformation in soil or snow under a passing wheel? Providing answers to these questions and more, Dynamics of Wheel–Soil Systems: A Soil Stress and Deformation-Based Approach is a practical reference for anyone who works with experiment design and data analysis of soil stress and deformation measurements under vehicle load.
Based on the author’s 15 years of experience in field experimentation on wheel–soil dynamics, the book describes methods and devices for soil stress and deformation measurements and presents numerical data from full-scale field experiments. These methods offer practical solutions to methodological problems that may arise during the design and preparation of field experiments.
Provides technical information on measuring, modeling, and optimizing off-road vehicle traction—including a novel method for describing off-road traction
Provides rare experimental data on soil stress and deformation under a variety of wheeled and tracked vehicles
Supplies solutions for designing, building, and using soil or snow pressure transducers and sensors
Compiles original experimental data on soil degradation due to agricultural machinery traffic and soil compaction
Explains how to create dynamic models of wheel–soil systems based on experimental data
A valuable reference on an important area of terramechanics, this book shows how to analyze and model wheel–soil interactions to create more effective designs for a range of vehicle types.
