Sentence examples for lower earthquake from inspiring English sources

Although both suspension bridges were originally designed for much lower earthquake loads they exhibited satisfactory performance.

As it can be seen in the average diagrams of Figs. 12 and 13, increasing the knee length in these frames has caused the average response of the frame to increase, i.e., in a lower earthquake intensity, the frame experiences a larger drift and the average diagrams of the frames with larger knee length is below that of the frames with the smaller knee length.

Seismologist Dr Stephen Hicks explains why the second lower impact earthquake had more serious effects than the earlier stronger one.

What emergency planners say will actually be more deadly is a lower intensity earthquake right beneath the city.

It is not excluded that lower magnitude earthquakes (especially if the epicentre is near the volcano), or major earthquakes at larger distances could possibly affect the state of unrest of a volcano (e.g., Walter and Amelung [2007]).

In contrast, we found that the lower plane earthquakes near the axis of the ridge-shaped slab occurred in a compression field.

We define such isolated events as lower plane earthquakes of the DSZ if they are located 7 km deeper than the average focal depth of the intra-slab earthquakes.

The following lower magnitude earthquakes add up to the total ductility demand and the column is observed to be 'on the verge of failure' by the end of the shaking sequence, having exhausted its theoretical ductility margins.

Near active subduction zones, landscape lowering from earthquake-triggered landslides can range from 0.2 to 7 mm yr−1; near strike-slip plate boundaries, the range is 0.02 0.2 mm yr−1.

Based on this interpretation, they further argued that the shear heating instability of plastic deformation (Griggs and Handin, 1960; Ogawa, 1987; Hobbs and Ord, 1988) would therefore be the mechanism behind the lower-plane earthquakes.

In such regions, the recurrence of submarine landslides is lower than the earthquake frequency (Behrmann et al. 2014; Strasser et al. 2011), suggesting that earthquakes might represent the final trigger but not the main forcing mechanism for the generation of landslides in all regions.
