Response and Damage of Structures along the Fault Rupture Traces of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake
The Wenchuan (Sichuan) Earthquake of 2008 occurred in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, China, extensively damaging buildings and infrastructures, caused natural and cut slope failures, and over 85,000 people lost their lives. The earthquake occurred at the well-known and well-studied Longmen Shan Fault Zone by thrust faulting with dextral component. A 260 km long section of Yingxiu-Beichuan Fault and Pengguan fault were activated during the earthquake. Damage to structures was mainly due to very strong ground motion and permanent ground deformation caused by the earthquake faults diluted deformation front as well as surface fault ruptures. This paper is concerned with fault-induced damage to structures such as tunnels, rock slopes, buildings, viaducts and bridges. There were remarkable similarities among the response and damage of structures along the fault surface ruptures of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and those of other earthquakes such as 1999 Kocaeli, 1999 Duezce-Bolu, 1999 Chi-chi earthquakes.
