The Tsaoling landslide triggered by the Chi-Chi earthquake, Taiwan: Insights from a discrete element simulation
Chao-Lung Tang,Jyr-Ching Hu,Jyr-Ching Hu,Ming-Lang Lin,Jacques Angelier,Chia-Yu Lu,Chia-Yu Lu,Yu-Chang Chan,Yu-Chang Chan,Hao-Tsu Chu,Hao-Tsu Chu +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D discrete element model (PFC2D) is used to simulate the kinematic behavior of a major landslide triggered by the Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Cenozoic metamorphic evolution and exhumation of Taiwan
Olivier Beyssac,Olivier Beyssac,Martine Simoes,Martine Simoes,Martine Simoes,Jean Philippe Avouac,Kenneth A. Farley,Yue-Gau Chen,Yu-Chang Chan,Bruno Goffé +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply this technique in addition to (U-Th)/He thermochronology on detrital zircons to assess peak metamorphic temperatures (T) and the late exhumational history respectively, along different transects in central and southern Taiwan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topographical changes revealed by high-resolution airborne lidar data; the 1999 Tsaoling landslide induced by the Chi-chi earthquake
Rou-Fei Chen,Kuo-Jen Chang,Jacques Angelier,Yu-Chang Chan,Benoît Deffontaines,Chyi Tyi Lee,Ming Lang Lin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors mapped the Tsaoling landslide area and estimated the landslide volume, using a high-resolution digital elevation model from airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), aerial photographs and topographic maps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry and structure of northern surface ruptures of the 1999 Mw=7.6 Chi-Chi Taiwan earthquake: influence from inherited fold belt structures
Jian-Cheng Lee,Hao-Tsu Chu,Jacques Angelier,Yu-Chang Chan,Jyr-Ching Hu,Chia-Yu Lu,Ruey Juin Rau +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a kinematic model with a 3D fault surface for the 1999 Mw=7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in central western Taiwan has been characterised by mapping along the northern fault segment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Realistic Surface Topography on Seismic Ground Motion in the Yangminshan Region of Taiwan Based Upon the Spectral-Element Method and LiDAR DTM
TL;DR: In this paper, LiDAR DTM data and an improved mesh implementation are combined to investigate the effects of high-resolution surface topography on seismic ground motion based upon the spectral element method.
