Abstract:The Ludian MS6.5 earthquake on August third,2014,caused heavy casualties and property losses and induced a large number of landslides,collapses,and secondary geological disasters.Based on a geological disaster survey of Longtoushan map (G48E006006) in Ludian County and analysis of typical geological disasters,development laws and distribution characteristics of geological hazards after the earthquake are revealed in this paper:(1) Most of the geological disasters before the earthquake are mainly medium and small shallow landslides and collapses.After the earthquake,large and extra-large landslides and collapses were induced,such as Ganjiazhai and Hongshiyan,and a large number of valley deposits were formed; (2) The distribution of geological disasters is concentrated in high-intensity areas of epicentral region,especially in Longtoushan town and intensively developed along the NNE-NE trending seismogenic fault zone, the geological disasters develop most intensively in epicentral area; (3) The geological disasters show a zonal distribution feature,obviously controlled by linear geomorphic units and linear engineering,such as river systems (Niulan River,Shaba River,and Longquan River) and highways (Zhaoqiao road and Shale road), and the impact of human activity is striking.
