由地震分布丛集性给出断层参数的一种新方法

由于大范围内地质构造的复杂性和介质的非均匀性,发震断层面的几何形态一般十分复杂.如果大地震的破裂过程涉及多个断层的活动,则发震断层并非是单一断层平面,而是多个断层面的组合.利用地震空间位置分布丛集性,即震源点成丛位于断层面附近的假设,结合稳健扩充算法和主成分分析给出一种可以重构活断层网络三维空间结构的新方法.该方法每次从震源点集中处开始,利用假设检验扩充子断层面,并得到多个子断层面.接着按震源点属于最近断层面的准则把各子断层面内的震源点进行竞争,并根据一定假设合并和删除一些子断层面,最后用主成分分析确定每个子断层面参数.于是可根据地震事件目录给出一组矩形区域来描述断层面网络结构,其中每个矩形断层面由其位置、走向和倾角确定.通过计算机模拟发现,新方法可成功地重建模拟地震目录的断层面,最后用于南加州1992年6月28日发生的Landers地震部分余震目录中,得到各个子断层面参数与已知地质破裂或隐伏断层相当一致.     

由余震分布确定大地震子断层及其参数的模糊聚类方法

大地震的破裂过程一般涉及多个断层的活动, 发震断层并非是单一断层平面, 而是由多个断层平面组合而成． 利用成丛小震发生在断层面附近的原则, 假定震源点围绕子断层面中心服从三维正态分布, 使用GK模糊聚类方法结合主成分分析给出了一种可以重构活动断层网络三维空间结构的新方法.该方法首先对全部震源点目录使用GK模糊聚类方法得到它的划分矩阵, 再利用划分矩阵及合适的阈值, 剔除离群震源点, 提取出平面型分布的子类, 最后对每个子类在三维正态分布的假设下确定断层面分布的95%置信矩形断层区域位置、 走向角和倾向角参数.当给定地震目录事件后, 可以给出符合假设的一系列最优断层面区域, 每个子断层由它的中心位置、 长度、 宽度、 走向角和倾角所刻画.为检验新方法的性能, 先进行计算机仿真, 结果显示算法可成功地重建模拟地震目录的断层部分.最后将新方法用于南加州兰德斯(Landers)地震部分余震精确定位数据中, 得到的重建结果与已知的研究结果比较吻合, 说明了新方法的有效性.      

利用小震分布和区域应力场确定大震断层面参数方法及其在唐山地震序列中的应用

根据成丛小震发生在大震断层面及其附近的原则,将模拟退火算法和高斯-牛顿算法结合,给出了利用小震密集程度求解主震断层面走向、倾角、位置及其误差的稳健估计方法,在此基础上考虑区域构造应力参数,给出了估计在已求得的断层面上的滑动角的方法.该方法还可用于小震活跃地区活断层走向、倾角和滑动角的确定.将这种方法用于唐山地震序列,采用2002年4月1日至2006年5月31日发生在地震破裂区的精定位地震目录,求得了唐山地震、滦县地震、宁河及卢龙断裂带的断层面走向、倾角、位置及滑动角参数.与前人给出的断层面解进行比较,发现利用小震精定位资料和区域构造应力场得到的结果与前人采用其他资料和方法得到的结果近似,验证了这种方法的有效性.另外,本研究首次发现滦县地震区东部的小震呈北东-南西向条带状成丛发生,可精确刻画为一条断裂带,较为精确地确定了此断层的走向、倾角和滑动角.该断裂及宁河断裂在唐山地震序列发生时是否破裂需要运用其他资料进行验证.     

A physics-based earthquake simulator and its application to seismic hazard assessment in Calabria (Southern Italy) region

The use of a newly developed earthquake simulator has allowed the production of catalogs lasting 100 kyr and containing more than 100,000 events of magnitudes ≥4.5. The model of the fault system upon which we applied the simulator code was obtained from the DISS 3.2.0 database, selecting all the faults that are recognized on the Calabria region, for a total of 22 fault segments. The application of our simulation algorithm provides typical features in time, space and magnitude behavior of the seismicity, which can be compared with those of the real observations. The results of the physics-based simulator algorithm were compared with those obtained by an alternative method using a slip-rate balanced technique. Finally, as an example of a possible use of synthetic catalogs, an attenuation law has been applied to all the events reported in the synthetic catalog for the production of maps showing the exceedance probability of given values of PGA on the territory under investigation.     

Numerical Modelling of Block-structure Dynamics: Application to the Vrancea Region

—A seismically active region is modelled as a system of absolutely rigid blocks separated by infinitely thin plane faults. The interaction of the blocks along the fault planes and with the underlying medium is viscous-elastic. The system of blocks moves as a consequence of prescribed motion of the boundary blocks and of the underlying medium. When, for some part of a fault plane the stress exceeds a certain strength level, a stress-drop ("a failure") occurs, and it can cause failures in other parts of the fault planes. In our model the failures represent earthquakes. As a result of the numerical simulation a synthetic earthquake catalog is produced. ? The procedure is applied to the numerical modelling of the dynamics of the block-structure, which approximates the tectonic structure of the Vrancea region. The result of the numerical experiment is a synthetic earthquake catalog with the space distribution of epicenters close to the real distribution and the frequency-magnitude relations (Gutenberg-Richter curves) obtained for the synthetic and real catalogs possessing some common features.     

内蒙古敖汉旗震群的微震匹配定位及其发震断层研究

内蒙古敖汉旗地区在2018—2019年间曾发生多次小震丛集活动,不同地震事件的波形记录易相互交叠,导致地震目录缺失。针对以上问题,采用匹配定位（Match&Locate）方法,对台网遗漏地震进行识别、检测与定位,并通过CAP方法反演敖汉旗震群最大地震的震源机制解,利用匹配定位后的小震分布定量地拟合发震断层面参数,从而综合判定敖汉旗震群的发震断层面几何形态和发震构造。结果显示：通过匹配定位方法共识别、定位405个小震事件,是原有地震目录事件的5.4倍,震群主体沿NW-SE向展布于红山—八里罕断裂与赤峰—开源断裂相交区域的东侧,震源深度集中于8—10 km。断层拟合结果和最大地震震源机制解表明敖汉旗震群的发震构造应是一条左旋走滑型隐伏正断层,断层面走向为157°,倾角为84°。综合分析红山—八里罕断裂和赤峰—开源断裂的断层性质和活动特征,认为敖汉旗震群的发震断层可能是这两条深大断裂在不断活动中相互作用而形成。     

研究地震破裂过程的一种新的方法及其应用

本文研究了1981年1月23日发生在四川道孚的Ms=6.8级地震和1983年2月13日发生在新疆乌恰的Ms=6.2级地震以及与它们相连系的有关地震的破裂扩展过程。本文除用体波资料研究外,主要是从断裂扩展和终止的角度,用单断裂和断裂系的力学模式从理论和试验方面分别模拟了这些地震破裂扩展的全过程,并研究了这些地震序列本身以及它们和周围地震的空间分布关系。因此提出了能更可靠地确定地震破裂面的几何尺度,确定地震断层的活动段和闭锁段的位置和长度的一种新方法,简称为扩展过程的拐折点方法。该方法还能解释和判断在不同断层部位发生的那些地震所具有的震源力学特征。并初步将该方法应用于鲜水河断裂带的地震趋势分析。      

龙陵-澜沧新生断裂带地震破裂分段与地震预测研究

龙陵 -澜沧新生断裂带的地震活动具频度高、强度大、周期短等特征 ,并以双震或震群型为主。断裂带由多条次级新生断层组成 ,呈斜列或共轭式展布 ,根据结构、规模、地震活动差异等因素把断裂带划分为 4个一级段、13个二级段 ,其中有 4个二级段又可划分出 8个三级段。历史上发生过大震、强震并有地震断层伴生的断层段为地震破裂单元 ;断裂带上晚第四纪有活动并有古地震事件 ,但无历史地震记载的地段为断层闭锁单元 ;次级断层之间的阶区或连接点为障碍体单元。从地震破裂特征分析 ,断裂带由破裂、闭锁、障碍体单元组成 ,根据地震、古地震、活断层、断层阶区的活动规律 ,断裂带可划分出 9个破裂单元、8个闭锁单元、10个障碍体单元。三者之间呈迁移、触发和转换能量的关系。根据这些关系和地震构造标志 ,对断裂带上未来可能发生大震、强震、中强震的地区分别作了预测。预测的危险区有 9个 ,其中大震区 1个 (永康 -永德地区 ) ,强震区 3个 (马站、石灰窑、酒房-勐混 ) ,中强震区 5个 (下顺江、里仁、大岗山、南明 -澜沧、勐遮     

由现今地震活动分析鲜水河断裂带中-南段活动习性与强震危险地段

利用最近25年的区域台网地震资料, 基于沿鲜水河断裂带中-南段的b值分布以及多个地震活动参数值的不同组合, 结合震源深度分布、 历史强震背景等, 分析了不同断裂段落的现今活动习性, 进而初步判别该断裂带潜在的强震危险地段。 结果表明, 鲜水河断裂带中-南段目前存在6个不同活动习性的段落。 其中, 道孚段自1981年强震后已再次趋于闭锁, 原因可能与断层面存在“凹凸体”有关, 但应变可能还会进一步积累; 八美段目前处于中偏高应力下的相对静止状态, 推测其断面正处于新的应力积累阶段; 塔公段已有255~300年的无强震期, 目前正处于高应力下的相对闭锁状态, 震源深度剖面上的小震空白区显示出闭锁断层面的轮廓, 应属于未来最可能发生强震的危险地段; 康定、 磨西二个段落表现出中偏低应力下的稀疏小震滑动及较频繁小震滑动的状态, 意味着最晚的一次大地震破裂后断层面尚未重新耦合; 石棉段表现出偏高应力下的频繁中-小地震活动与该段的多条断裂交汇有关。     

2014年云南鲁甸MS6.5地震序列的双差定位

本文采用双差定位方法对云南鲁甸M_S6.5地震震后16天的地震序列进行重定位研究.重定位结果显示,主震位于27.11°N,103.35°E,震源深度约15 km;地震序列主要呈“L”形优势分布,分为SSE向和近EW向两支,并均呈现近垂直的震源分布特征,显示此次地震为走滑型,并存在两个不同方向的破裂面.虽然此次地震发生于NE向昭通断裂及其反冲断裂（龙树断裂、大岩洞断裂）附近,但这些断裂均为逆冲型断裂,被排除了作为发震断裂的可能性;鲁甸地震发生在呈放射性分布的多条断裂的交汇部位,SSE向破裂分支与包谷垴断裂的方向一致,近EW向破裂分支与小河断裂南端的走向一致. 鲁甸地震可能已将包谷垴断裂和小河断裂在深部贯通.     

用滑动方向拟合法反演富蕴地震断裂带应力场

本文根据野外考察测得的1931年新疆富蕴8级地震形成的地震断裂带内42组断层水平和垂直位移数据,求得42个断层面上的滑动方向.利用滑动方向拟合法(使计算的断层面上的剪切力方向与观测的滑动方向之间夹角最小)求出了断裂带上由北向南四个区段的驱动断层滑动的平均应力场.结果表明,四个区段的最大和最小主压应力轴皆水平,最大主压应力轴方位大致在 N15E 至 N30E 之间.整个断裂带的应力场相当均一,这说明富蕴大地震的发震原因不象是局部因素,而可能是大范围构造运动的结果.      

THE RESEARCH OF THE SEISMOGENIC STRUCTURE OF THE LUSHAN EARTHQUAKE BASED ON THE SYNTHESIS OF THE DEEP SEISMIC DATA AND THE SURFACE TECTONIC DEFORMATION

The seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake has remained in suspensed until now. Several faults or tectonics, including basal slipping zone, unknown blind thrust fault and piedmont buried fault, etc, are all considered as the possible seismogenic structure. This paper tries to make some new insights into this unsolved problem. Firstly, based on the data collected from the dynamic seismic stations located on the southern segment of the Longmenshan fault deployed by the Institute of Earthquake Science from 2008 to 2009 and the result of the aftershock relocation and the location of the known faults on the surface, we analyze and interpret the deep structures. Secondly, based on the terrace deformation across the main earthquake zone obtained from the dirrerential GPS meaturement of topography along the Qingyijiang River, combining with the geological interpretation of the high resolution remote sensing image and the regional geological data, we analyze the surface tectonic deformation. Furthermore, we combined the data of the deep structure and the surface deformation above to construct tectonic deformation model and research the seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake. Preliminarily, we think that the deformation model of the Lushan earthquake is different from that of the northern thrust segment ruptured in the Wenchuan earthquake due to the dip angle of the fault plane. On the southern segment, the main deformation is the compression of the footwall due to the nearly vertical fault plane of the frontal fault, and the new active thrust faults formed in the footwall. While on the northern segment, the main deformation is the thrusting of the hanging wall due to the less steep fault plane of the central fault. An active anticline formed on the hanging wall of the new active thrust fault, and the terrace surface on this anticline have deformed evidently since the Quaterary, and the latest activity of this anticline caused the Lushan earthquake, so the newly formed active thrust fault is probably the seismogenic structure of the Lushan earthquake. Huge displacement or tectonic deformation has been accumulated on the fault segment curved towards southeast from the Daxi country to the Taiping town during a long time, and the release of the strain and the tectonic movement all concentrate on this fault segment. The Lushan earthquake is just one event during the whole process of tectonic evolution, and the newly formed active thrust faults in the footwall may still cause similar earthquake in the future.     

The features of multiple fractures associated with the great Haiyuan 8.5 magnitude earthquake of 1920

It is deduced on the basis of field investigation that the total length of the stratigraphic fault associated with the great Haiyuan 8.5 magnitude earthquake of 1920 was 225 km. This fault was formed by 6 secondary faults with different geometric parameters, which align regularly inen echelon arrangement. Each secondary fault can be divided into three segments with different characteristics of deformation where the middle segment was mainly of the horizontal strike—slip fault while another two segments the vertical deformation as shown by the features of reverse or normal faults. It is also shown by the data of vertical and horizontal displacements that the horizontal displacement approached a maximum at the middle segment for each secondary fault and gradually decreased toward and finally disappeared at both ends of each segment while in contrast the vertical displacement was minimum at the middle and became large at both ends of the segment. The feature of the multiple peaks appeared in the deformation as shown by the earthquake displacements along the whole fault. This feature indicates that the 6 secondary faults associated with the great Haiyuan earthquake were the horizontal interrupted planes (i.e., dislocation surface) which were independent on each other, and hence each dislocation surface may represent an independent secondary fracture event of the earthquake. We thus think that the 6 relatively independent secondary events which occurred successfully might result in the great 8.5 magnitude Haiyuan earthquake.

2017年九寨沟地震所受历史地震黏弹性库仑应力作用及其后续对周边断层地震危险性的影响

首先对2017年九寨沟M_S7.0地震周边断裂活动和历史地震特征进行了阐述;然后利用黏弹性地壳模型,计算了1933年叠溪地震、1976年松潘震群和2008年汶川地震对2017年九寨沟地震的同震和震后库仑应力作用.该结果显示1933年叠溪地震对九寨沟地震具有延缓作用,而1976年松潘震群和2008年汶川地震对九寨沟地震的黏弹性库仑应力作用为正;随着下地壳和上地幔黏弹性物质的持续作用,前述几次地震总的黏弹性库仑应力在九寨沟地震破裂中心点处负的库仑应力逐渐减弱,而在破裂北段这些库仑应力逐渐转为正值,并促进了九寨沟地震的发生.本文也计算了九寨沟地震后对周边断层的库仑影响,并将此影响值转换为对断层能量积累的影响时间上,结果显示塔藏断裂带西段和中段在内的多条断裂带受到黏弹性库仑应力影响时间值超过10年.将库仑应力影响时间值加入到部分已知离逝时间的断层段上,也得到了这些断层段的未来30年特征地震发生概率.最终结果认为玛沁断裂带、玛曲断裂带、哈南—稻畦子断裂中段和西段等断层段的强震危险性需要重点关注.     

荥经-马边-盐津逆冲构造带断裂运动组合及地震分段特征

逆冲构造带的分段性研究是评价该类发震构造地震危险性的基础工作。荥经-马边-盐津逆冲构造带是青藏高原东南边缘重要的NW向强震构造带,该构造带以逆冲错动为主要活动形式,其组合形式与逆冲强度存在南北差异。通过NE向横向断裂的构造地貌分析,发现横向断裂以右旋走滑活动为主,兼有倾滑活动。根据其与纵向断裂的交接关系,将横向断裂概括为横向分割断裂、横向撕裂断裂和横向转换断裂3种类型,讨论了3类横向断裂在逆冲构造带分段中所起的不同作用,进而将荥经-马边-盐津逆冲构造带分为独立的3段,并分析了各段的地震活动特征。研究表明,荥经-马边-盐津逆冲构造带以横向断裂为标志的3分段特点,既体现了段与段之间断裂活动强度、地震破裂强度与步调的差异,又体现了段内地震破裂步调的一致性,表明横向断裂在一定程度上控制了逆冲构造带的破裂分段,只是横向断裂的类型不同,其所起的作用也不同

2008年和2014年于田地震对周边断层发震概率的影响

大震后区域静态库仑应力变化直接影响地震活动性速率的变化、主震断层外余震和即将失稳断层的发震概率的变化.利用滑移速率和状态相依赖的摩擦定律,结合2008年3月21日于田地震前后的地震活动性水平,定量计算了2008年于田地震后该地区周边断层发震概率的变化,着重解释了2014年于田地震发震的可能根源.此外,本文还对库仑应力明显变化的周边三条断层进行了发震概率的定量计算.贡嘎错断裂中段、贡嘎错断裂西南段和康西瓦断裂中段分别经历了发震概率先降后升、先升后升和先降后降两个阶段,充分显示了库仑应力的细微变化造成的周边断层的危险性的变化.这三条断裂发生7.0级以上地震的发震概率超越95%均需要500年左右;贡嘎错断裂西南段发生中强地震的可能性较大,而康西瓦断裂中段活跃度较低.     

Earthquake source as an object of geological study

The paper presents the results of long-term geological-geophysical studies of the author, which have a direct relationship to the structure and development of the sources of the strong earthquakes that occurred on the territory of Mongolia and the Baikal rift zone. They left imprints in the form of seismic dislocations in the near-surface layers or in the form of thermally treated rocks (pseudo-tachylites), considered as evidence of the manifestation of seismogenic motions in the segments of seismoactive faults at depths of 10–20 km. It was revealed that in the regions of the manifestation of denudation shear on the Earth’s surface with a length of many kilometers it is possible to identify the deep fragments of faults, in which previously the signs of rapid seismogenic motions along the faults had been manifested. Such deep fragments are revealed from the presence of friction planes, covered by the finest glass films, which arose under the strong frictional heating of rocks before the stage of melting. In this way, the possibility of studying such sections of zones of seismo-generating faults is validated, considering them as deep fragments of earthquake sources, which occurred many million years ago. New information on the instrumental measurements of the velocity of motions in the seismoactive faults is also discussed in the work. The ideas on the mechanisms of generating seismic vibrations in the fault zones are presented. The conclusion that the lower segments of faults in the source regions of earthquakes are capable of penetrating rapidly at depths of 25–40 km, where the viscoplastic deformations of rocks predominate, causing their nonlinear behavior, is substantiated. On the development of the new models of earthquake sources, more adequate to geological conditions, it is expedient to consider the ideas presented in the paper     

Earthquake Recurrence in Simulated Fault Systems

We employ a computationally efficient fault system earthquake simulator, RSQSim, to explore effects of earthquake nucleation and fault system geometry on earthquake occurrence. The simulations incorporate rate- and state-dependent friction, high-resolution representations of fault systems, and quasi-dynamic rupture propagation. Faults are represented as continuous planar surfaces, surfaces with a random fractal roughness, and discontinuous fractally segmented faults. Simulated earthquake catalogs have up to 10⁶ earthquakes that span a magnitude range from ～M4.5 to M8. The seismicity has strong temporal and spatial clustering in the form of foreshocks and aftershocks and occasional large-earthquake pairs. Fault system geometry plays the primary role in establishing the characteristics of stress evolution that control earthquake recurrence statistics. Empirical density distributions of earthquake recurrence times at a specific point on a fault depend strongly on magnitude and take a variety of complex forms that change with position within the fault system. Because fault system geometry is an observable that greatly impacts recurrence statistics, we propose using fault system earthquake simulators to define the empirical probability density distributions for use in regional assessments of earthquake probabilities.     

2013年7月22日甘肃岷县-漳县M_S6.6地震震源破裂过程

2013年7月22日,在甘肃岷县漳县交界处发生MS6.6地震,地震震中位置靠近临潭—宕昌断裂.本文通过构建有限断层模型,利用国家强震动台网中心提供的12条强地面运动三分量资料,通过波形反演方法来研究这次地震的震源破裂过程.结果显示这次地震是发生在甘东南地区岷县—宕昌断裂带东段附近的一次MW6.1级逆冲兼具左旋走滑破裂事件,最大滑动量约为80cm.发震断层走向及滑动性质与岷县—宕昌断裂吻合,推断本次地震与东昆仑断裂向北的扩展和推挤密切相关,是岷县—宕昌断裂进一步活动的结果.
