Liquefaction associated with the Wenchuan earthquake thus demonstrates the importance of considering geologic structures other than the primary earthquake-producing fault in seismic hazard evaluation and earthquake resistance design in areas with similar geologic and hydrological settings.
Also, the Australian cold-formed steel structures standard, AS/NZS 4600-05 (2005), requires that when cold-formed steel members are used as the primary earthquake-resisting element, the selected response modification factor shall not be greater than 2, unless specified otherwise.
By the time the dust finally settled in Virginia's primary election earthquake just 7,212 votes separated the House majority leader, Eric Cantor, from his Tea Party nemesis, David Brat.
Tables 3 and 4 list the fault parameters and the hypocenter coordinates of the primary focal earthquakes in the Kumamoto region, respectively.
This result is of primary importance in earthquake resistant design, because partial and local failure modes are responsible of the worsening of the energy dissipation capacity leading to an increased risk of collapse under destructive ground motions.

Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater's stunning victory over New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in the 1964 California presidential primary was an earthquake that dramatically altered the state's political landscape.
Infection secondary to fasciotomy and primary trauma of earthquake victims have always been grave challenges in the clinic.
Infection, usually not a threatening factor, was a primary cause of earthquake inpatient death in our study, which means physicians need to pay more attention to testing, preventing and treating inpatients that might have an infection.
The primary cause of earthquakes related to energy development, the authors concluded, is when the extraction or injection of fluids changes the balance of stresses around an existing fault (which may not have been previously identified).
