Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The published evidence of reservoir-induced macroearthquakes is critically reviewed. The evidence is partitioned into three types: (a) evidence of a postimpoundment increase in seismicity, (b) correlation evidence that is composed of a plot of a reservoir variable and a seismicity variable and, in most cases, an auxiliary variable, time, and (c) evidence based on the slope of the magnitude-frequency relationship (b value evidence). The basic source for each of these types of evidence is a suitably edited catalog of earthquake occurrences. Recommendations are given regarding catalog preparation and editing. The types of evidence are examined to recognize the effects of common methods of data acquisition and treatment. Postimpoundment change in seismicity can be assessed using certain recommended statistical tests. Recommendations are made regarding construction and interpretation of correlation evidence. The interpretation of correlation evidence is subjective because the assumptions required to construct and interpret the evidence cannot be verified. Evidence based on the b value is shown to be useless as a discriminant to identify induced seismicity from normal seismicity. Eight cases of reservoir induced macroearthquakes are reviewed. These eight cases are: (a) Hoover/Lake Mead, (b) Kariba, (c) Kremasta, (d) Koyna, (e) Kurobe, (f) Manic 3, (g) Hsinfengkiang, and (h) Nurek.

Book excerpt: This book is the result of an elaborate project initiated by the Joint Technical Committee (JTC-1) of 1) the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2) the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment, 3) the International Society for Rock Mechanics, and 4) the International Geotextile Society, with the focus on natural slopes and landslides. The framework of the book sets out the steps, based on recent disaster experiences in the twenty-first century, leading to the assessment of earthquake-induced landslide hazards. It contains: 1) important cases of landslides triggered by earthquakes around the world; 2) investigation into the characteristics of ground motion site response; 3) methods to determine landslide susceptibility and triggering thresholds and their comparative study; and 4) commentary on the production of earthquake-induced landslide hazard maps. All the contents are the result of the latest research on related areas. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, designers, consultants, academicians, government officials, and all others who are involved in the mitigation of coseismic landslides. The book contributes toward the development of a new chapter in disaster prevention and mitigation of landslides induced by earthquakes.
