Hazard zonation for potential earthquake-induced landslide in the eastern East Kunlun fault zone

Abstract: Based on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the seismic landslide hazard research considers the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of seismic peak ground acceleration, which integrates the factors such as seismic intensity, location, and recurrence time. The occurrence of future earthquakes has certain randomness. This article presents the landslide hazard zoning of the eastern Kunlun fault zone and its surrounding faults, which is carried out under the action of horizontal ground motion with certain exceeding probability. According to the geological structure and seismicity characteristics of the study area, the potential source is divided. Based on the seismic hazard analysis and Newmark cumulative displacement evaluation model, the seismic landslide hazard in the study area is analyzed. The landslide probability is taken as the risk index. The seismic landslide hazard can be divided into five grades: extremely low-prone area, low-prone area, medium-prone area, high-prone area, and extremely high-prone area. In the results of seismic landslide risk zoning given in this article, the surrounding areas of Tazang fault and Minjiang fault are high-risk areas, which should be paid attention to.
