汶川M_S8.0地震地表破裂带北川以北段的基本特征

对北川-青川间汶川MS8.0地震地表破裂的野外地质调查表明,在这一段内主要存在一条地震地表破裂带,总体沿北川-青川断裂带分布。沿黄家坝、陈家坝、桂溪、平通、南坝、石坎等地的观察显示,该段地表破裂沿走向连续分布,结构单一,破裂长度为60~90km,地表破裂没有到达青川县关庄镇。可观察到的破裂长度在北川北至石坎之间,长62km,走向总体为20°~55°,运动学性质主要为右旋走滑逆冲。地震形成的地表破裂主要表现为垂向上的地表拱曲,指示了深部断层的逆冲性质;在水平运动方向上则主要表现为右旋走滑,不存在左旋走滑分量。地震地表破裂显示的同震垂直位移从西南段黄家坝的3m左右,向东北逐渐降低至南坝、石坎的1.5m左右;右旋水平位移没有明显变化或者略有增加,一般在1.5~2.0m之间。地表破裂特征表明,引起本次汶川MS8.0地震的发震构造是映秀-北川-青川断裂带,该断裂以逆冲运动为主,兼具右旋走滑分量,逆冲方向由NW向SE     

汶川地震破裂过程联合反演及高频辐射研究

汶川地震是发生在叠瓦状曲面断层上的一次复杂破裂过程,北川—映秀断层和灌县—江油断层以及与其垂直相交的小鱼洞断层均有地表破裂发生,已有动力学和运动学研究表明断层破裂扩展至3个断层相交处发生了重要的转换。因而,北川断层、彭灌断层和小鱼洞断层的破裂顺序是反演汶川地震破裂过程的关键。本文首先建立合理的三维复杂断层模型,采用3种可能的破裂方式,基于并行非负最小二乘法和多时间视窗技术,联合远场、近场、GPS和地表破裂资料,反演汶川地震精细破裂过程,给出了合理的破裂方式。进一步采用近场加速度记录和差分进化方法,反演断层面上高频辐射分布规律,对比分析高低频地震波辐射的差异。主要成果如下:1.综合考虑三维发震构造模型、余震分布和地表破裂调查,建立更符合实际的曲面断层模型;采用远场36个台站垂直向P波位移记录,利用并行非负最小二乘法结合多时间视窗技术,反演了汶川地震破裂过程。研究表明:(1)目前震源破裂过程反演广泛采用的单侧破裂,在北川断层虹口—映秀近地表区域不产生与地表破裂相符的位错。如果彭灌断层与小鱼洞断层相交处发生双侧破裂,则会在断层南段近地表处产生高达4 m的位错,且在北川断层虹口—映秀近地表区域不产生位错,这与地表破裂矛盾。而北川断层浅部区域从与小鱼洞断层相交处发生双侧破裂,则会在虹口—映秀近地表产生与地表破裂相符的位错,明显优于单侧破裂。综合3种破裂方式的结果,本文认为北川断层在与小鱼洞断层相交处发生双侧破裂更符合汶川地震的实际情况。(2)北川断层南段和彭灌断层空间上接近,两者在远场台站的格林函数波形相似,基于远场记录的反演不能区分两者的位错,且北川断层南段位错分布的可靠性大于彭灌断层的位错分布。2.选用近场方位角覆盖较均匀的43个台站三分向速度记录,采用并行非负最小二乘算法结合多时间视窗技术,得到了汶川地震破裂过程。研究表明:(1)与远场记录反演结果相似,单侧破裂和彭灌断层在与小鱼洞断层相交处发生双侧破裂,北川断层虹口—映秀浅部都不产生位错。要使虹口—映秀区域发生与地表破裂吻合的位错,只有北川断层在与小鱼洞断层相交处发生双侧破裂才能满足,所以北川断层需发生双侧破裂。北川断层西南侧高倾角区域有明显的破裂停顿和二次破裂,部分区域破裂持时可达15 s左右。(2)51MZQ、51SFB、51MXN和51MXT等台站水平向较大的PGV与断层面相邻区域的滑动速率具有很好的一致性。说明断层面上发生较大滑动速率的区域,其临近台站往往伴随有较大的PGV产生。3.为了克服单一数据分辨率不足的缺陷,联合远场和近场资料以及联合远场、近场、GPS和同震位移观测资料反演了汶川地震破裂过程。研究表明:(1)联合远场和近场资料,提高了北川断层南段高倾角部分、PGF南半段区域以及北川断层北川附近滑动分布的识别能力。(2)反演中加入GPS资料能很好地控制断层浅部和北川断层北段的滑动分布。(3)联合反演结果显示,汶川地震破裂持续时间达100 s,释放地震矩为1.058×1021 N·m,断层面上存在5个凹凸体,表明此次地震至少由5个子事件组成。滑动主要分布在北川断层上,说明北川断层是主要的破裂面。在北川断层南段上,龙门山镇下侧以及虹口—映秀近地表区域的位错以逆冲错动为主,最大滑动量达12 m,位于虹口下侧;在岳家山到清平近地表附近错动以逆冲为主兼有走滑错动,最大滑动量约为10 m。北川断层北段上,北川附近滑动以逆冲为主,最大滑动量10 m;南坝到青川区域以走滑错动为主,最大滑动量10 m。在彭灌断层上,白鹿下方区域的位错也以逆冲为主,断层深部位错达8 m。4.利用芦山地震记录建立的加速度包络衰减关系和汶川地震近场30个台站的加速度包络,基于线源模型采用差分进化方法反演了汶川地震断层面上高频(1 Hz)辐射区域分布。结果表明:(1)断层面上高频辐射分布很不均匀,辐射较强的区域主要位于:产生较大地表破裂的映秀、北川和南坝区域;映秀和北川等凹凸体的周边区域,包括震中东北侧60—90 km区域、北川和南坝东北侧30 km处;断层破裂停止的东北端约30 km长的区域。其中,破裂贯穿到地表的映秀、北川和南坝是高频和低频辐射都很强的区域。(2)对于无观测记录场点,选择其临近且场地条件类似的台站加速度提取平稳随机过程,结合高频辐射分布和衰减关系得到的包络,合成了加速度时程,可为汶川地震结构震害分析提供地震动输入。     

汶川地震震中映秀地区地表破裂特征

汶川8级大震的震中位于映秀镇,地震在映秀地区造成了多处地表破裂,如公路拱曲、地震陡坎,坡中槽新变形等,长度达300余米.经实地全站仪和GPS测量,定量分析了地表破裂的垂直分量与水平分量以及两者之间的比值,以此揭示了映秀-北川断裂的运动性质为逆冲兼右行走滑,在映秀地区逆冲分量大于走滑分量.将本次地震造成的位错数据与震前资料对比,发现汶川地震产生的地表破裂位置与地质历史上映秀-北川断裂造成的断层位错位置是相当吻合的,说明映秀地区Ⅳ级阶地上40余米的的断层陡坎可能是地质历史时期若干次大地震的结果.     

龙门山断裂带北段活动特征的遥感地质解译研究

文中通过龙门山断裂北段卫星遥感影像的解译分析,对该区活动断裂的分布与发育情况进行了研究.文章选取ETM光学影像和遥感1号雷达影像为主要数据源,结合研究区已有研究成果,分析了遥感影像上地质地貌特征,建立了研究区的解译标志,对龙门山断裂带北段主要断裂(平武-青川断裂、南坝-林庵寺断裂、江油-广元断裂)分布特征与活动性进行了深入的遥感解译.研究结果表明,平武-青川断裂对不同规模的水系位错的影响较大,且广元地区历史地震主要分布在该断裂带上,因此平武-青川断裂活动性最强,对该区地震的发生起着重要的控制作用.     

汶川M_S8.0地震地表破裂带及其发震构造

震后应急野外考察表明,2008年5月12日汶川MS8.0地震在青藏高原东缘龙门山推覆构造带上同时使北川-映秀断裂和灌县-江油断裂两条倾向NW的叠瓦状逆断层发生地表破裂。其中,沿北川-映秀断裂展布的地表破裂带长约240km,以兼有右旋走滑分量的逆断层型破裂为主,最大垂直位移6.2m,最大右旋走滑位移4.9m;沿灌县-江油断裂连续展布的地表破裂带长约72km,最长可达90km,为典型的纯逆断层型地表破裂,最大垂直位移3.5m;另外,在上述两条地表破裂带西部还发育着1条NW向带有逆冲垂直分量、左旋走滑性质的小鱼洞地表破裂带,长约6km。这一地表破裂样式是近期发生的特大地震中结构最复杂的一次逆断层型地表破裂,地表破裂的长度也最长。利用已有的石油地震剖面,结合余震分布和地表破裂带特征等资料构建的三维发震构造模型表明,龙门山推覆构造带现今和第四纪时期以地壳缩短为主,斜滑逆冲型地震表明青藏高原中东部的水平运动在华南地块与巴颜喀拉地块之间的龙门山推覆构造带上转化为地壳的缩短和隆升     

汶川M_S 8.0地震基岩中的地表破裂

在汶川MS8.0地震中,地表破裂变形带多表现为挠曲坎或断层坎,地表基岩破裂少见,作者在安县肖家桥附近基岩中发现了出露完整的地震地表破裂带。在仔细分析该破裂带变形特征和内部结构构造的基础上,结合区域上地震地表破裂特点,认为:这次地震的地表破裂主要沿先存的映秀-北川断裂发生和扩展,地震断层作用形式以右旋斜冲运动为主,安县肖家桥附近映秀-北川断裂的最大垂直同震位错为5.4m,与通过挠曲坎或断层坎测量的结果基本一致     

汶川Ms8．0级地震断层滑动机制研究

汶川Ms8.0级地震的发震构造为龙门山断裂带,地震地表破裂主要分布在其中的北川-映秀断裂和江油-灌县断裂上,尤其是沿前者发育了长达240 km左右的地表破裂带.通过对龙门山断裂带震后断层擦痕的测量,得到311条断层擦痕数据,利用由断层滑动资料反演构造应力张量的计算方法,得到研究区8个测点的构造应力张量数据,并获得了研究区构造应力场特征:区域现代构造应力场以近水平挤压为主,最大主应力方向(σ1)为76°～121°,平均倾角9°,应力结构以逆断型为主.受构造应力场及断层几何特征的影响,地表破裂呈现出分段性:映秀-北川段主要以NW盘逆冲为主,垂直位移明显;北川以北段为逆冲兼走滑,水平位移量与垂直位移量基本相当,或水平位移略大.     

汶川M_S8.0地震中央断裂东北端地表破裂特征及其构造含义

汶川地震地表破裂在东北端从石坎子乡到窝前的运动性质存着从走滑分量略高于倾滑分量到完全为右旋走滑运动的变化过程,倾滑分量在石坎子—平溪段具有逆断性质,在矿坪子及其以北为正断性质,未见挤压变形,窝前完全为右旋走滑运动,地表变形带宽度集中在10m以内;在董家村,地震地表破裂带主要表现为张性裂缝及地堑式负地形,是地震破裂在尾端应力作用下,应变不均一性调节的产物,地表变形带宽度约10～12m;在东河口以北未见地表破裂的证据,推测汶川地震地表破裂带没有穿过流经青川县东河口、关庄、凉水井一带的清水河,东河口一带的构造地貌现象反映了垂直差异性运动,不存在右旋走滑运动的地质地貌证据。在中央断裂东北端断层一侧隆升和另一侧拉张的典型四象限格局成为汶川地震地表破裂的端部表现特征。中央断裂上的汶川地震地表破裂带总长度为240km左右。在汶川地震过程中,沿着中央断裂在地表产生的构造变形在中央断裂的范围内就已经得到了调整,并没有越过中央断裂的范围而传递到以外的地段。     

汶川8级大地震的地表破裂特征及分段

2008年5月12日14时28分,四川省汶川县境内发生MS8.0地震.地表破裂多以跌水、陡坎形态发育在河流沟谷或晚新生代沉积层内,位移明显.山地受崩塌、滑坡影响,位移量较难获得.发震断裂主要有三条,即北川-映秀断裂、彭县-灌县断裂和小鱼洞断裂.北川-映秀断裂地表破裂由南向北活动性质从逆冲为主逐渐转变为走滑为主,长约220 km,平均垂直位移量约3 m,按位移量沿断裂走向的变化可以分为虹口段、北川段和南坝段;彭县-灌县断裂地表破裂以逆冲活动为主,长约82 km,平均垂直位移量约1.5 m,可以划分为白鹿段和汉旺段,断裂断距分布的几何特征与北川-映秀断裂的中南段相近;小鱼洞断裂是一条新生北西走向的次级破裂,长约5.6 km,平均垂直位移量约1.5 m,调节两侧构造单元变形差异,具有捩断层特征,活动以逆(左行)走滑为主,可划分出小鱼洞段和中坝段.姚都镇地表破裂可能说明南坝以北的地震具有不同的活动特征.活动断裂的运动方式反映区域应力场有北西西向挤压特征.     

汶川地震小鱼洞地区的地表破裂和同震位移及其机制讨论

2008年5月12日在四川西部发生的汶川地震是一次以逆冲运动为主,兼有右旋走滑运动的斜滑型地震,形成了有史以来最长、最复杂的地表破裂之一.其中,很多复杂现象到目前为止还没有得到很好的解释或一致的认识,如小鱼洞地区出现的NW走向的小鱼洞断裂,在小鱼洞以北出现的2条相距llkm的平行断裂同时破裂的现象等.通过在小鱼洞地区的详细野外调查,获得了详细的地表破裂分布及同震位移分布,在此基础上对小鱼洞地区地表破裂的机制进行了分析.结果表明,造成上述复杂地表破裂的根本原因是汶川地震的主断层北川-映秀断裂的产状变化,即北川-映秀断裂在小鱼洞以北向NW偏移约3.5km.其破裂机制是:1)北川-映秀断裂的右旋走滑运动在小鱼洞西侧的左阶挤压阶区引起的挤压隆升形成前冲断层,即小鱼洞断裂;2)由于北川-映秀断裂在小鱼洞以北向NW偏移3.5km,导致其断层面倾角变大,逆冲运动引起的断层上盘对下盘的挤压方向变化,结合右旋走滑引起的上盘对下盘的侧向推挤,两者共同作用突破了彭灌断裂,从而形成了2条相距llkm的平行断裂同时错动的现象.另外,文中建议应该重视北川-映秀断裂右旋走滑运动分量、断层产状变化以及断层上、下盘的岩性差异对汶川地震地表破裂过程及地表破裂分布的影响.     

LATE QUATERNARY ACTIVITY OF THE CENTRAL SEGMENT OF THE DARI FAULT AND RESTUDY OF THE SURFACE RUPTURE ZONE OF THE 1947 M73/4 DARI EARTHQUAKE,QINGHAI PROVINCE

Bayan Hara Block is one of the most representative active blocks resulting from the lateral extrusion of Tibet Plateau since the Cenozoic. Its southern and northern boundary faults are characterized by typical strike-slip shear deformation. Its eastern boundary is blocked by the Yangze block and its horizontal movement is transformed into the vertical movement of the Longmen Shan tectonic belt, leading to the uplift of the Longmen Shan Mountains and forming a grand geomorphic barrier on the eastern margin of the Tibet Plateau. A series of large earthquakes occurred along the boundary faults of the Bayan Hara Block in the past twenty years, which have attracted attention of many scholars. At present, the related studies of active tectonics on Bayan Hara Block are mainly concentrated on the boundary faults, such as Yushu-Ganzi-Xianshuihe Fault, East Kunlun Fault and Longmen Shan Fault. However, there are also some large faults inside the block, which not only have late Quaternary activity, but also have tectonic conditions to produce strong earthquake. These faults divide the Bayan Hara Block into some secondary blocks, and may play important roles in the kinematics and dynamics mechanism of the Bayan Hara Block, or even the eastern margin of the Tibet Plateau. The Dari Fault is one of the left-lateral strike-slip faults in the Bayan Hara Block. The Dari Fault starts at the eastern pass of the Kunlun Mountains, extends eastward through the south of Yalazela, Yeniugou and Keshoutan, the fault strike turns to NNE direction at Angcanggou, then turns to NE direction again at Moba town, Qinghai Province, and the fault ends near Nanmuda town, Sichuan Province, with a total length of more than 500km. The fault has been considered to be a late Quaternary active fault and the 1947 M73/4 Dari earthquake was produced by its middle segment. But studies on the late Quaternary activity of the Dari Fault are still weak. The previous research mainly focused on the investigation of the surface rupture and damages of the 1947 M73/4 Dari earthquake. However, there were different opinions about the scale of the M73/4 earthquake surface rupture zone. Dai Hua-guang(1983)thought that the surface rupture of the earthquake was about 150km long, but Qinghai Earthquake Agency(1984)believed that the length of surface rupture zone was only 58km. Based on interpretation of high-resolution images and field investigations, in this paper, we studied the late Quaternary activity of the Dari Fault and the surface rupture zone of the 1947 Dari earthquake. Late Quaternary activity in the central segment of the Dari Fault is particularly significant. A series of linear tectonic landforms, such as fault trough valley, fault scarps, fault springs and gully offsets, etc. are developed along the Dari Fault. And the surface rupture zone of the 1947 Dari earthquake is still relatively well preserved. We conducted a follow-up field investigation for the surface rupture zone of the 1947 Dari earthquake and found that the surface rupture related to the Dari earthquake starts at Longgen village in Moba town, and ends near the northwest of the Yilonggounao in Jianshe town, with a length of about 70km. The surface rupture is primarily characterized by scarps, compressional ridges, pull-apart basins, landslides, cleavage, and the coseismic offset is about 2~4m determined by a series of offset gullies. The surface rupture zone extends to the northwest of Yilonggounao and becomes ambiguous. It is mainly characterized by a series of linear fault springs along the surface rupture zone. Therefore, we suggest that the surface rupture zone of the 1947 Dari earthquake ends at the northwest of Yilonggounao. In summary, the central segment of the Dari Fault can be characterized by strong late Quaternary activity, and the surface rupture zone of the 1947 Dari earthquake is about 70km long.     

QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF FAULT ACTIVITY BASED ON HIGH-PRECISION AIRBORNE LiDAR DATA: A CASE OF XIAOHONGSHAN FAULT IN XIANGSHAN-TIANJINGSHAN FAULT ZONE

High-precision and high-resolution topography are the basis of quantitative study of active tectonics. Traditional methods are mainly interpreted from the remote sensing image and can only obtain two-dimensional, medium-resolution DEM(5~10m grid unit)or local three-dimensional surface deformation characteristics. A combination of offset and micro-relief information is essential for understanding the long-term rupture pattern of faults, such as in seismic hazard evaluation. The recently developed high-resolution light detection and ranging(LiDAR)technology can directly carry out high-precision and omni-directional three-dimensional measurement of the landform, and provide fine geomorphologic data for the study of active tectonics, which is helpful to deepen the understanding of surface rupture process and fault activity characteristics. In this study, we take part of the Xiaohongshan Fault, the western segment of Xiangshan-Tianjingshan Fault located in Gansu Province(NE Tibet), as an example of how LiDAR data may be used to improve the study of active faults. Using the airborne LiDAR technology, we obtain the three-dimensional surface deformation characteristics with high accuracy and establish the three-dimensional topographic model of the fault geomorphic. A high-resolution digital elevation model(DEM)of the Jingtai-Xiaohongshan Fault was extracted based on high-precision LiDAR data. Then the faulted geomorphic markers(gullies, ridges and terraces)were measured in detail along the fault, and different offset clusters and long-term sliding vector of different segments of the fault were finally acquired. We obtained the 82 horizontal displacements and 62 vertical displacements of geomorphic markers. According to the offset amounts, we observed peaks in the histogram by using the method of cumulative offset probability density and interpreted that each peak may represent an earthquake that ruptured the Xiaohongshan Fault. The results show that the horizontal and vertical displacements fall into five clusters, and the smallest cluster may indicate the coseismic slip of the most recent earthquake, while the other clusters may represent the slip accumulation of multiple preceding earthquakes. The sliding vectors constrained by the horizontal and vertical displacement of several typical geomorphic markers show obvious differences on different segments of the fault. The results show that the fault segment is divided into three segments from west to east, which indicates that the fault activity is not uniform along the fault.     

汶川8.0级地震发震断层的累积地震位错研究

2008年5月12日,四川省汶川县内发生MS8.0地震。此次地震沿龙门山中央断裂产生1条长达200km的同震地表破裂带。文中选择位于地震地表破裂带北段的南坝镇、凤凰村以及南段的映秀镇这3个地点,以被断层错断的河流阶地为研究对象,对多级阶地面上的地震地表破裂及断层陡坎地貌进行了野外实测工作。经过测量数据的计算和分析,得到了各级阶地上断层陡坎的高度,该值即为该阶地记录的地震断层的累积垂直位错量。若以本次地震的垂直位错量作为古地震位错量的均值,则可计算得到每级阶地累积的地震次数。研究结果表明,各点T1阶地形成以来仅经历过1次事件,即本次地震事件;T2阶地形成以来约经历了5次事件;T3阶地形成以来约经历了9～11次事件;T4阶地形成以来约经历了20次事件。在本文研究的基础上,结合前人的阶地测年数据,则可获得古地震复发间隔的可靠数据     

TYPE AND DISPLACEMENT CHARACTERISTICS OF LINGSHAN M6¾ EARTHQUAKE SURFACE RUPTURE ZONE IN 1936, GUANGXI

On April 1, 1936, an M6¾ earthquake occurred on the Fangcheng-lingshan Fault. So far, the Lingshan M6¾ earthquake is the biggest one in South China. There are some reports about the Lingshan earthquake fissures, but its surface rupture hasn't been systemically studied. Based on the geological mapping and measurement of the right-lateral displacement and vertical offset, the surface rupture zone caused by the Lingshan M6¾ earthquake was found, which contains two secondary surface rupture zones in the east and west respectively, its strike varies from N55°E to N60°E with en echelon-like distribution along the north section of Lingshan Fault, and its total length is about 12.5km. The western surface rupture zone locates intermittently along Gaotang-Xiatang-Liumeng, about 9.4km in length, with a right-lateral displacement of 0.54~2.9m and a vertical offset of 0.23~1.02m; the other one appears between Jiaogenping and Hekou, about 3.1km in length, with a right-lateral displacement of 0.36~1.3m and a vertical offset of 0.15~0.57m. The maximum right-lateral displacement and vertical offset are 2.9m and 1.02m, appearing at the east of Xiatang reservoir. The types of surface rupture mainly contain earthquake fault, earthquake scarp, earthquake fissure, earthquake colluvial wedge, earthquake caused landslide and liquefaction of sand and so on. The earthquake fault develops at the east of Xiatang and Jiaogenping, earthquake scarp appears at Xiaoyilu and Xiatang, earthquake fissure locates at Xiatang, there are multiple earthquake landslides along the surface rupture zone, and the trench LSTC03 exposes the earthquake colluvial wedge. In order to further investigate the Lingshan earthquake surface rupture zones, the author compares the parameters of Lingshan M6¾ earthquake with the similar typical earthquakes in western China, the results show that the parameters of Lingshan earthquake are similar to the typical earthquakes in western China. The length of Lingshan earthquake surface rupture is shorter, but the dislocation is bigger. The author considers that this is mainly related with the parameters of Lingshan earthquake, site condition and structural environment of surface rupture zone, the symbols of dislocation measuring, human activity and weather condition and so on. The research of surface rupture zone features and analysis of Lingshan M6¾ earthquake provides important and basic data for exploring the seismogenic structure of Lingshan M6¾ earthquake, and it has important scientific significance.     

有关1976年唐山地震发震断层的讨论

对《地震地质》刊登的两篇文章中有关唐山断裂是高角度西倾的逆冲走滑断裂及唐山市东侧付庄-西河断裂是唐山地震的发震断裂的观点进行讨论。笔者认为,如果唐山地震断层是西倾的逆冲走滑活动,需要考虑唐山逆冲断裂的活动方式与唐山市西侧第四纪凹陷之间的关系;如果付庄-西河断裂是唐山地震震源构造的地表破裂,需要解释该西倾的倾滑断裂带与唐山市内走滑地裂缝带的成因联系。此外,还需要更有说服力的证据排除该地表破裂带是次生构造破裂的可能。建议对控制草泊第四纪凹陷的活动断裂开展调查     

西南天山迈丹断裂阿合奇段左旋走滑的证据及其最新活动

柯坪推覆构造的根部断裂记录到的地震活动相对较弱,以至于多数学者认为该断裂晚第四纪以来活动性不强。笔者根据遥感影像解译和野外调查得到迈丹断裂的几何展布,确认F3阿合奇段为最新地表破裂带,并通过一系列河流阶地的左旋位移测量确定其晚更新世以来有过走滑活动。结合地貌测量和探槽开挖得到断层垂直错距,探槽揭示的古地震事件发生在距今(1.76±0.22)ka之后,根据现场考察获得的活动构造定量数据,依据不同震级与地表破裂关系式推算出该次古地震震级为7.5级。研究成果可能对区域活动断裂的研究以及区域活动构造图像的完整性提供基础资料,同时最新地表破裂证据的发现可能有助于更新认识该断裂的危险性。     

NEW EVIDENCES OF HOLOCENE ACTIVITY IN THE JIANGSU SEGMENT OF ANQIU-JUXIAN FAULT OF THE TANLU FAULT ZONE

Anqiu-Juxian Fault is an important fault in the Tanlu fault zone, with the largest seismic risk, the most recent activity date and the most obvious surface traces. It is also the seismogenic fault of the Tancheng M8 1/2 earthquake in 1668. There are many different views about the southern termination location of surface rupture of the Tancheng earthquake and the Holocene activity in Jiangsu segment of this fault. Research on the latest activity time of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault, particularly the termination location of surface rupture of the Tancheng earthquake, is of great significance to the assessment of its earthquake potential and seismic risk. Based on trench excavation on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault, we discuss the time and characteristics of its latest activity. Multiple geological sections from southern Maling Mountain to Chonggang Mountain indicate that there was an ancient seismic event occurring in Holocene on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault. We suggest the time of the latest seismic event is about(4.853±0.012)~(2.92±0.3)ka BP by dating results. The latest activity is characterized by thrust strike-slip faulting, with the maximum displacement of 1m. Combined with the fault rupture characteristics of each section, it is inferred that only one large-scale paleo-earthquake event occurred on the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault since the Holocene. The upper parts of the fault are covered by horizontal sand layers, not only on the trench in the west of Chonggang mountain but also on the trench in Hehuan Road in Suqian city, which indicates that the main part of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault was probably not the surface rupture zone of the 1668 Tancheng M8 1/2 earthquake. In short, the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault has experienced many paleo-earthquake events since the late Pleistocene, with obvious activity during the Holocene. The seismic activities of the Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault have the characteristics of large magnitude and low frequency. The Jiangsu segment of Anqiu-Juxian Fault has the deep tectonic and seismic-geological backgrounds of big earthquakes generation and should be highly valued by scientists.     

ESTIMATING THE WENCHUAN EARTHQUAKE RUPTURE PROCESS USING NEAR FIELD STRONG MOTION RECORDS AND COSEISMIC DISPLACEMENTS

Based on the extensive near field broadband strong-motion records with uniform azimuthal coverage and coseismic displacements, the rupture process of 2008 Wenchuan earthquake is inversed by the non-negative least square method and multiple-time window technique. The possible rupture sequence among southern Beichuan Fault, Pengguan Fault and Xiaoyudong Fault and the initial rupture time of high dip angle part of southern Beichuan Fault are analyzed from kinetic aspects, which have been seldom focused on. The results indicate that:(1) The near field waveform fitting residuals and the coseismic displacements show that only a bilateral rupture occurs on the intersection between the southern Beichuan Fault and Xiaoyudong Fault can the synthetic records of the stations located near the southwestern end of the Beichuan Fault conform to the observed ones, and meanwhile, the Pengguan fault cannot generate large slips on its southwestern part. The possible rupture sequence is that the earthquake started at the low dip angle part of Beichuan Fault and propagates to the Pengguan Fault in the shallow area, the Xiaoyudong Fault is triggered by the Pengguan Fault, and then producing bilateral rupture on the high dip angle part of Beichuan Fault at the intersection with the Xiaoyudong Fault. (2) Through analysis of the synthetic second packet records of stations at the southwest area of the fault, we obtain the initial rupture time on the high dip angle part of Beichuan Fault may have a 8s stagnation. In terms of timing, there may be rupture sequence between the southern Beichuan Fault and Pengguan Fault which are parallel to each other. The rupture of the southern shallow part of Beichuan Fault with high dip angle may lag behind the Pengguan Fault. At the same time, there may be a multipoint rupture in the southern section of the Beichuan Fault. (3) There is a good correspondence between the area on the fault with larger slip rate and the surrounding stations with larger PGV. In areas where slip rate on the fault plane is large, the stations tend to have larger peak ground velocities.

文中通过对东昆仑活动断裂带托索湖至玛曲段的实际野外测量,获得了该段上的1组断裂位错实测数据和14C及TL测年样品。通过室内分析研究,发现大体以阿尼玛卿山玛积主峰为界,东昆仑活动断裂带托索湖至玛曲段可再分为花石峡段和玛沁段2个在几何上不连续的段落,花石峡段的全新世水平滑动速率(115±11)mm/a明显高于玛沁段(70±06)mm/a。此外,由于断裂而引起的断裂两侧的差异垂直隆升速率,花石峡段自4kaBP以来约为(21±03)mm/a,玛沁段自10kaBP以来约为055mm/a。这种差异垂直隆升速率的明显变化,一方面反映了东昆仑活动断裂带不同段落上活动的差异,另一方面也可能反映了研究区内全新世以来的快速隆升
