Abstract:
Active faults of different properties, types and characteristics, developing on the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, are relatively active. Since the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, there have occurred several earthquakes, including the Yushu earthquake, Lushan earthquake, Ludian earthquake and other earthquakes, which induced a large number of geological disasters and leaded to catastrophic losses of life and property. Based on data collection and analysis, advances in the earthquake geohazard on the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau are summarized. Geohazard effect of active faults including the main control factors of geological disaster, spatial distribution regularity, evolution pattern and formation mechanism, the geological environment effect such as active faults with different properties, the difference between two plates, ground motion parameters and topography, and mechanical effects of geological hazards are analyzed. Then the main problems or key research directions in the study of the geological disaster effect of active faults, such as the correlation between the active faults with different properties, the earthquake with magnitude and geological disasters, and the seismic geological disaster monitoring and risk assessment, are put forward. The results can provide strong support for the study of the mechanism, risk assessment, disaster prevention and reduction of seismic geological disasters.
