Abstract

Strong earthquakes in Chile are often associated with cascading hazards, such as ground shaking, liquefaction, tsunamis, and coseismic landslides. This study set recommendations for preparing earthquake-induced landslide inventories and developing and reporting an updated comprehensive earthquake-triggered landslides inventory of the 2007 M_w 6.2 shallow crustal Aysén earthquake. 781 landslides were re-mapped over a total area of c.1,350 km², based on unified earthquake-triggered landslide mapping criteria. The total landslide volume is c. 122.3 Mm³. 18% of earthquake-induced landslides were concentrated within 0–1 km of seismic faults, and 55% within 0–5 km. In addition, 53% of the landslides started in the upper quarter of the slope, while over 86% started in the upper half, which suggests that larger ground motions due to topographic site effects influenced the triggering of landslides during the shallow crustal earthquake. Hence, the distance to the rupture plane of faults is a first-order factor in the distribution of landslides together with topographic amplification site effects.

期刊介绍： Engineering geology is defined in the statutes of the IAEG as the science devoted to the investigation, study and solution of engineering and environmental problems which may arise as the result of the interaction between geology and the works or activities of man, as well as of the prediction of and development of measures for the prevention or remediation of geological hazards. Engineering geology embraces: • the applications/implications of the geomorphology, structural geology, and hydrogeological conditions of geological formations; • the characterisation of the mineralogical, physico-geomechanical, chemical and hydraulic properties of all earth materials involved in construction, resource recovery and environmental change; • the assessment of the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of soil and rock masses; • the prediction of changes to the above properties with time; • the determination of the parameters to be considered in the stability analysis of engineering works and earth masses.
