This book includes 5 chapters describing the tectonic setting and historical earthquakes around the Chuan-Dian region, the nucleation of the Wenchuan earthquake, occurrence and aftershocks. The field observations of earthquake induced surface fractures and building damage, form a major and special part of this book and include a large number of digital photos with accompanying explanantions.
Note:
1.Tectonic setting around Chuan-Dian region -- 2.Historical earthquakes around, Wenchuan earthquake and aftershocks -- 3.Earthquake nucleation and occurrence - a numerical simulation -- 4.Geological observation: Earthquake induced surface fractures and the relevant geological explanation -- 5.Field observation: seismic deconstruction and its relationship with the ruptured faults.
