A method estimating the stress level in the focal region of an earthquake is proposed here. Taking the 2001 M=8.1 Western Kunlun Mountain Pass earthquake as an example, we estimate its stress level in the focal region before and after it by this method. The results show that the stress level in the focal region just prior to the initiation of this event is approximately 6.3–8 MPa, and about 5–6.7 MPa remained in the focal region after its occurrence. The stress in the focal region decreased by roughly twenty percent after this event. 相似文献

Introduction A great earthquake of M=8.1 occurred at 17h26min14.7s (Beijing time) on November 14, 2001 on the eastern Kunlun fault, near Bukadaban mountain peak with an elevation of about 6 866 m in the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau of western China. The micro-epicenter is at a site of 36.2°N, 90.9°E, and the macro-epicenter is at a site of 35.6°N, 94.1° E, about 300 km west to the Kunlun Mountain Pass.This event is the largest one since 1951 in China, and yet the first su-per-st… 相似文献

Introduction The January 10, 1998 Zhangbei-Shangyi, Hebei Province, earthquake has been the third large event of magnitude 6.0 and greater since the 1976 great Tangshan earthquake of magnitude 7.8 in the northern China (33皛42癗, 110皛124癊). Before this event, there were only two events of magnitude 6.0 and greater occurred in or around the Tangshan area since 1976: the M=6.9 Ninghe, Tianjin, earthquake of November 15, 1976 and the M=6.2 Hangu, Tianjin, earthquake of May 12, 1977.

In this paper changes in focal mechanisms) parameters of wave spectra, and stress drops for the Ms=5.0 forcshock and Ms=6.0 mainshock in February 2001 in Yajiang County, Sichuan, and seismicity in cpiccntral region are studied. Comparison of focal mechanisms for the Yajiang earthquakes with distribution patterns of aftcrshocks, the nodal plane Ⅰ, striking in the direction of NEN, of the Yajiang M=5.0 event is chosen as the faulting plane, the nodal plane Ⅱ, striking in the direction of WNW, of the M=6.0 event as the faulting plane. The strikes of the two faulting planes are nearly perpendicular to each other. The level of stress drops in the cpicentral region before the occurrence of the M=6.0 earthquake increases, which is consistent with increase of seismicity in the epicentral region. The rate decay of the Yajiang earthquake sequence, changes in wave spectra for foreshocks and aftershocks,and focal mechanisms are complex. 相似文献

Fracture characteristics of the 1997 Jiashi, Xinjiang, China, earthquake swarm inferred from source spectra 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Broadband P and S waves source spectra of 12 MS5.0 earthquakes of the 1997 Jiashi, Xinjiang, China, earthquake swarm recorded at 13 GDSN stations have been analyzed. Rupture size and static stress drop of these earthquakes have been estimated through measuring the corner frequency of the source spectra. Direction of rupture propagation of the earthquake faulting has also been inferred from the azimuthal variation of the corner frequency. The main results are as follows: ①The rupture size of MS6.0 strong earthquakes is in the range of 10～20 km, while that of MS=5.0～5.5 earthquakes is 6～10 km.② The static stress drop of the swarm earthquakes is rather low, being of the order of 0.1 MPa. This implies that the deformation release rate in the source region may be low. ③ Stress drop of the earthquakes appears to be proportional to their seismic moment, and also to be dependent on their focal mechanism. The stress drop of normal faulting earthquakes is usually lower than that of strike-slip type earthquakes. ④ For each MS6.0 earthquake there exists an apparent azimuthal variation of the corner frequencies. Azimuthally variation pattern of corner frequencies of different earthquakes shows that the source rupture pattern of the Jiashi earthquake swarm is complex and no uniform rupture expanding direction exists. 相似文献

On the basis of about 300 earthquake wave forms observed in the Shidian M
S=5.9 sequences on April 12, 2001 recorded in Kunming Digital Seismic Network, the spectra of shear wave have been used to
estimate the focal parameters of these earthquake sequences. The results show that within the magnitude range of 1.5–5.3,
the seismic moments are 1010–1016 N·m, the corner frequencies are 0.2–0.8 Hz, radii of the focal rupture are 200–2 500 m and the stress drops are 0.1×105–20×105Pa. Through the statistical analyses of variation of corner frequency f
c and stress drop Δσ with time, it is discovered that the average corner frequency of the foreshock sequences is obviously
lower than that of the aftershock sequences. Contrarily, the average stress drops Δσ of the foreshock sequences are clearly
higher than that of the aftershocks. It is considered that these variation characteristics of average corner frequency and
stress drops before and after the main shock have index significance to the precursory information before a strong earthquake.
The higher stress drops for the foreshock sequences show that the higher shear stresses have been stored in the area of main
shock. After the main shock, most of the stresses have been released, so the aftershock sequences show a rupture process of
lower stresses.

Relocation of the 1998 Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake sequence using the double difference earthquake location algorithm 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Introduction On January 10, 1998, at 11h50min Beijing Time (03h50min UTC), an earthquake of ML=6.2 occurred in the border region between the Zhangbei County and Shangyi County of Hebei Province. In total 87 events with ML3.0 were recorded by Beijing Telemetry Seismic Network (BTSN) before March of 1999. Before relocation the preliminary hypocenters determined by BTSN showed an epicentral distribution of 25 km long and 25 km wide without any predominate orientation. The epicentral a… 相似文献

The goal of this study was to estimate the stress field acting in the Irpinia Region, an area of southern Italy that has been
struck in the past by destructive earthquakes and that is now characterized by low to moderate seismicity. The dataset are
records of 2,352 aftershocks following the last strong event: the 23 November 1980 earthquake (M 6.9). The earthquakes were
recorded at seven seismic stations, on average, and have been located using a three-dimensional (3D) P-wave velocity model
and a probabilistic, non-linear, global search technique. The use of a 3D velocity model yielded a more stable estimation
of take-off angles, a crucial parameter for focal mechanism computation. The earthquake focal mechanisms were computed from
the P-wave first-motion polarity data using the FPFIT algorithm. Fault plane solutions show mostly normal component faulting
(pure normal fault and normal fault with a strike-slip component). Only some fault plane solutions show strike-slip and reverse
faulting. The stress field is estimated using the method proposed by Michael (J Geophys Res 92:357–368, 1987a) by inverting selected focal mechanisms, and the results show that the Irpinia Region is subjected to a NE–SW extension with
horizontal σ
3 (plunge 0°, trend 230°) and subvertical σ
1 (plunge 80°, trend 320°), in agreement with the results derived from other stress indicators. 相似文献

Introduction The Pamirs region where Jiashi is located is one of the most active regions of continental plate dynamics in China. Frequent earthquakes here, especially several strong earthquakes oc- curred in 1997 and 2003, have provided excellent conditions for studying the tectonic stress field in this region and a large number of results (GAO and WEN, 2000; GAO et al, 2004; XU, 2001; ZHOU et al, 2001) have been obtained. Although different methods and data were used, under- standings … 相似文献

During a 4-month period starting from 21 January, 1997, an earthquake swarm of seven major events (Ms≥6.0) struck the Jiashi region at the northwestern corner of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang,, China. Previous relocation studies suggested that these strong earthquakes had occurred along at least two parallel rupture zones. According to the relocated hypocenters and focal mechanisms of the events, we have constructed fault models for these seven earthquakes to calculate the Coulomb stress changes produced by each of these events. Furthermore, we extended our model calculations to include an ad- jacent 1996 Ms=6.9 Artushi earthquake, which occurred one year before the Jiashi earthquake swarm. Our calculations show that the Coulomb stress change caused by the preceding events was around 0.05 MPa at the hypocenter of the 4th event, and higher than 0.08 MPa at the hypocenters of the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th events. Our results reveal a Coulomb stress interactive cycle of earthquake triggering between two adjacent normal and strike-slip faults. 相似文献

We present the geophysical evidences on the role of fluids for generation of the lower crustal Jabalpur earthquake (21 May 1997, mb 6.0, Mw 5.8), in the mid-continental fracture zone of the Indian Peninsular Shield. With a focal depth of 35 km, it indicates a high angled (< 62∘ enclosed with maximum principal stress direction) reverse fault with small component of left-lateral strike slip in the lower crust. The Son-Narmada-Tapti (SONATA) magalineament, during the past two centuries, has experienced about 25 moderate to strong earthquakes; two of which namely the Son Valley (1927, M 6.5) and Jabalpur (21 May 1997) were disastrous. Historical earthquakes and recent earthquake swarms indicate a moderate to high seismicity in SONATA belt that is due to high strain accumulation, flexuring of the crust and neotectonic movements of the faults in the rift zones. By analyzing geophysical parameters such as Zero-Free air-based (ZFb) gravity anomalies (∼ −10 to –30 mGals), heat flow values (45–47 mWm−2), magneto-telluric values (1- Ohm m), strain rate (1.5 × 10−8) and failure stress conditions, we identify plausible causative factors for the occurrence of lower crustal earthquake in this region Fluids, due to dehydration of serpentinite in the lower crust, are suggested to be present in the earthquake source zone. The estimated pore-fluid factor for the Jabalpur earthquake (λ
v
) is 0.95. The diffusion of pore-pressure relaxation, represented as pressure perturbation generated by coseismic stress change was seen in the form of swarm activity two years prior to the Jabalpur earthquake. We suggest the existence of a deep pre-fractured zone with low shear stress (τ = 15–18 MPa) that indicates the presence of fluid filled fractured mafic material in the felsic crust, in critical state of unstable failure condition, and also fluid driven migration of swarm activity before the Jabalpur earthquake. 相似文献

On the basis of the assumption that ω^2 model accords with source displacement spectra, we have obtained the mathematical expressions for calculating apparent stresses of moderate-small shocks from low-frequency flat level and comer frequency. By using digital seismic records, apparent stress values are calculated for 823 moderate-small shocks of 4 earthquake series in Yunnan area following corrections for instrument response, propagation influence and site effect. The results show that for the 4 earthquake series in Yunnan area, apparent stress hints precursory information, which means that if a moderate-small shock occurs with apparent stress larger than 1 MPa in an earthquake series, a moderate-strong earthquake will occur afterwards; and if there is not moderate-small shock with apparent stress larger than 1 MPa after a moderate-strong event in an earthquake series, strong aftershock will not occur. The research also indicates that the average apparent stress value is 0.8 MPa in Yunnan area, therefore, apparent stress is not obviously related to seismic magnitude. 相似文献

The Yecheng, Xinjiang, China, earthquake of February 14, 1980
—A destructive intermediate earthquake
—A destructive intermediate earthquake
In this study, we have checked the location and focal depth of the Yecheng earthquake (m
b
= 6.0, maximum intensity VII) of February 14, 1980. The result shows that this is an intermediate event with a focal depth
of 90 km. The microepicenter is located at 36. 4°N, 76, 9°E, while the macroepicenter is at 37.3°N, 76.9°E, 90 km to the north
of the microepicenter. This is the first destructive intermediate event in China which led to a damage as severe as of intensity
VII. The focal mechanism of the event is determined to be of thrust type. Combined with the analysis of seismological and
geological data in surrounding area, the possible relation between the event and plate movement has been discussed. The result
in this paper indicates that in some particular place, the destructive effect of intermediate event should be considered in
seismic hazard assessment.

On July 20, 1995, an earthquake of M
L=4.1 occurred in Huailai basin, northwest of Beijing, with epicenter coordinates 40.326°N, 115.448°E and focal depth 5.5 km.
Following the main shock, seismicity sharply increased in the basin. This earthquake sequence was recorded by Sino-European
Cooperative Huailai Digital Seismograph Network (HDSN) and the hypocentres were precisely located. About 2 hours after the
occurrence of the main shock, a smaller event of M
L=2.0 took place at 40.323°N, 115.447°E with a focal depth of 5.0 km, which is very close to the main shock. Using the M
L=2.0 earthquake as an empirical Green’s function, a regularization method was applied to retrieve the far-field source-time
function (STF) of the main shock. Considering the records of HDSN are the type of velocity, to depress high frequency noise,
we removed instrument response from the records of the two events, then integrated them to get displacement seismogram before
applying the regularization method. From the 5 field stations, P phases in vertical direction which mostly are about 0.5 s
in length were used. The STFs obtained from each seismic phases are in good agreement, showing that the M
L=4.1 earthquake consisted of two events. STFs from each station demonstrate an obvious “seismic Doppler effect”. Assuming
the nodal plane striking 37° and dipping 40°, determined by using P wave first motion data and aftershock distribution, is
the fault plane, through a trial and error method, the following results were drawn: Both of the events lasted about 0.1 s,
the rupture length of the first one is 0.5 km, longer than the second one which is 0.3 km, and the rupture velocity of the
first event is 5.0 km/s, larger than that of the second one which is about 3.0 km/s; the second event took place 0.06 s later
than the first one; on the fault plane, the first event ruptured in the direction γ=140° measured clockwise from the strike
of the fault, while the second event ruptured at γ=80°, the initial point of the second one locates at γ=−100° and 0.52 km
from the beginning point of the first one. Using far-field ground displacement spectrum measurement method, the following
source parameters about the M
L=4.1 earthquake were also reached: the scalar earthquake moment is 3.3×1013 N·m, stress drop 4.6 MPa, rupture radius 0.16 km.

According to geological tectonics and seismic activites this paper devided North China (30°–45°N, 105°–130°E) into four areas.
We analyzed the North China earthquake catalogue from 1970 to 1986 (from 1965 to 1986 for Huabei, the North China, plain region)
and identified forty-two bursts of aftershock. Seven of them occurred in aftershock regions of strong earthquakes and seventeen
of them in the seismic swarm regions. The relation between strong earthquakes with the remaining eighteen bursts of aftershocks
has been studied and tested statistically in this paper. The result of statistical testing show that the random probabilityp of coincidence of bursts of aftershock with subsequent strong earthquakes is less than six percent. By Xu’sR scoring method the efficacy of predicting strong earthquake from bursts of aftershock is estimated greater than 39 percent.
Following the method proposed in the paper we analyzed the earthquake catalogue of China from 1987 to June, 1988. The results
show that there was only one burst of aftershock occurred on Jan. 6, 1988 withM=3.6 in Xiuyan of Northeast China. It implicates that a potential earthquake withM
S⩽5 might occur in one year afterwards in the region of Northeast China. Actually on Feb. 25, 1988 an earthquake withM
S=5.3 occurred in Zhangwu of Northeast China. Another example is Datong-Yanggao shock on October 18, 1989 which is a burst
of aftershock. Three hours after an expected shock withM =6.1 took place in the same area. Two examples above have been tested in practical prediction and this shows that bursts
of aftershocks are significant in predicting strong earthquakes.
