Variation of Electromagnetic Tornogram Before and After Earthquakes

Cross-well electromagnetic tomography has been used to monitor the changes of the abso rption coefficient of electromagnetic waves before and after earthquakes for 5 years at Dahuichang fault since 1992.It has been found that 3 months before the occurrence of moderately strong earthquakes(ML≥4.0,△<210 km),several special changes in tomogram appeared as follows:The mean-value of the absorption coefficient dropped about 10% compared with the annually decreasing tendency; the mean difference of pixels suddenly decreased or increased in different directions; and the entropy of the paragenic matrix in a tomogram decreased and the number of low absorption pixels increased.It is inferred that such changes in electromagnetic tomograms are attributed to the variation of micro-cracks and porosity in rocks.Electromagnetic tomography can be studied as a new technique to detect earthquake precursors.     

Analysis on Source Process of Strong Earthquakes in Qinghai Province Based on Broadband Data

Four earthquakes with M > 6.0 occurred in Qinghai Province, China froth 1988 to 1990. Using broadband data from GDSN, the source ruptures of these earthquakes and tectonic surroundings were studied using waveform modelling combined with background data of geological tectonics. Through the analysis of apparent source time function (aSTF) and apparent time difference (aTD), the complexity of sources was discussed, and in view of source analysis, the result further supports the conclusion that the compressive stress axis of tectonic stress field in northeastern Qinghai-Xizang (Tibetan) plateau is at the NE direction, is nearly horizontal, turns counter-clockwise to the NEE or N to S direction, and is nearly horizontal close to the northern Qinghai-Xizang plateau.     

The Crust-mantle Structure and Seismic Risk in Tangyin Graben and Its Adjacent Area

1-D and 2-D calculation and interpretation are carried out with the DSS data from the western section of Heze-Changzhi profile and the southern section of Zhengzhou-Jinan profile. 2-D velocity structure is determined in Tangyin graben and its adjacent area. The result shows that velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle is obviously different in vertical and lateral directions. Crustal thickness varies apparently in this area, and there are local low velocity blocks in the interior crust. The swelling M-discontinuity corresponds to Tangyin graben and Moho depth at the highest swelling position is 31 km. Toward the east, its depth gradually increases to 32 km in Xunxian swelling; toward the west, M-discontinuity becomes a steep zone at the piedmont uplift of Taihang Mountain and reaches 40 km at depth near Changzhi. Through analyzing the relationship between historical earthquakes and deep structure in North China, we infer that seismic risk exists in Tangyin graben and its adjacent area.

Statistical property of candidate earthquake precursors and its apparent focal mecha- nism dependence

Introduction Increasing evidences show that the properties of candidate earthquake precursors seem to befocal mechanism dependent (Tsuruoka, et al, 1995; Reasenberg, 1999; Wan, et al, 2002). Test ofearthquake precursors without the classification of earthquakes could be misleading (Wu, 1999,Nature debates, http://helix.nature.com/debates/). In this paper we use the reported earthquakeprecursors for some earthquakes in China (ZHANG, 1988; 1990a, b; 1999; 2000; CHEN, 2002a, b;2003) to…     

An equivalent-boundary method for the shell analysis of buried pipelines under fault movement

Introduction The history of research work on the response of buried pipeline under the fault movement hasbeen about 30 years. Several simplified design methods have been proposed to obtain the maxi-mum stress or strain in pipe. These methods include the theoretical method and the finite elementmethod (FEM). In the theoretical method, the pipe is usually modeled as a cable (Newmark, Hall1975; Kennedy, et al, 1977) or a beam (Wang, Wang, 1995; LIU, ZHANG, 2002). These theoreti-cal me…     

Paleomagnetic study on the Early Triassic red beds from Jiaocheng, Shanxi Province ——Local rotation and tectonic significance

Paleomagnetic and rock magnetic study has been conducted on the Early Triassic red beds of Liujiagou Formation from Jiaocheng, Shanxi Province. Hematite was shown as the main magnetic mineral. After eradicating an initial viscous component at room temperature to -100℃- 200℃, thermal demagnetization shows that most samples contain two remanence components, intermediate-temperature remanence component at 250℃-500℃ and high-temperature component at 500℃-680℃. The intermediate-temperature component has a negative fold test at the 95% confidence level. And the pole position of the intermediate-temperature component in geographic coordinates is correlated with the Middle Jurassic reference pole of the North China Block (NCB) within the 95% confidence, suggesting that it might be a remagnetiza-tion component acquired during the Yanshanian period. The high-temperature component contains both reversal and normal polarities with positive fold test and C-level positive reversal test at the 95% confidence lev
