The Mj 7.3 (Mw 7.0) mainshock produced extensive and complex surface ruptures in and around the active Futagawa-Hinagu fault zone, including primary right-lateral faulting, slip-partitioned normal faulting, and distributed and triggered surface breaks, as well as minor surface ruptures associated with the foreshocks of up to Mj 6.5 (Mw 6.2). This book provides a complete record of those surface ruptures mapped by a team of more than 25 researchers from Japanese universities and research institutes. The locations, traces, morphology, and displacement are described in great detail along with over 300 on-site photographs, and the information is supplemented by the GIS data available online. The book is useful for a wide range of earthquake scientists and engineers who work on active faults and related seismic hazard assessment, including earthquake geologists, tectonic geomorphologists, seismologists, geodesists, civil engineers, and city planners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I  Tectonic Setting of the Epicentral Area\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 1  Geomorphology and Geology\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 2  Seismicity and Crustal Movement\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 3  Active Faults and Paleoseismicity\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 4  Seismological and Geodetic Observations of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Sequence\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart II  Detailed Description of the Surface Ruptures\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 5  Field Mapping Methods and Data Compilation Procedures of the Surface Ruptures\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 6  General Characteristics of the Surface Ruptures of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Sequence\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 7  Surface Ruptures of the Shirahata-Oike Section\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 8  Surface Ruptures along the Kita-Amagi Fault Zone\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 9  Surface Ruptures along the Southern Part of the Futagawa Fault\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 10  Surface Ruptures along the Central-Northern Part of the Futagawa Fault\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 11  Surface Ruptures in the Downtown of Kumamoto City\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 12  Surface Ruptures and Tectonic Geomorphology along and around the Idenokuchi Fault\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 13  Surface Ruptures in the Northwestern Part of the Inner Aso Caldera\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 14  Surface Ruptures in the Northeastern Part of the Inner Aso Caldera\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  Chapter 15  Surface Ruptures in the Northwest of the Outer Aso Caldera\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 16  Surface Ruptures along the Western Part of the Bungo-Kaido Road\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 17  Surface Ruptures in Mashiki Town: Tectonic Significance and Building Damage\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChapter 18  Surface Ruptures Accompanied with the Largest Foreshock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212833481047,"sku":"9789811911521","price":129.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789811911521.jpg?v=1782118225","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/surface-ruptures-associated-with-the-2016-kumamoto-earthquake-sequence-in-southwest-japan-9789811911521","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
