应变能积累在地震安全性评价中的应用探讨

理论及实验研究显示,震源区的位置和最大震级不仅可能与构造和历史有关,更重要的是与应力状态包括其方向、大小、增加速率、集中位置等以及岩体自身性质,包括其强度、杨氏模量、应变大小及增长速率、裂缝(断层)大小和数量等有关,同时与作用方式有关.综合考虑各种因素,探讨了利用应变能积累确定强震位置和震级的方法:首先对利用形变空间特征变化判断强震震源区位置的方法进行了讨论;接着着重提出估算应变能的初步方法:一是由地表裂缝最大错距和裂缝(断层)长度比估算地震释放能量;二是由新构造运动分区块体体积、年平均应变速率及杨氏模量估算块体应变能积累;进而依据能量估算地震震级;最后以实例论述了应变能积累过程及特点对地震安全性评价的重要作用.     

水库诱发地震与构造地震震源参数特征差异性研究——以龙滩水库为例

首先讨论龙滩库区水库蓄水与地震活动之间的关系,发现龙滩水库诱发地震特征十分明显,地震共分5丛呈丛集分布.利用库区架设的24个固定和流动台站记录的数字记录资料,在研究得到龙滩库区非弹性衰减和台站场地响应的基础上,精确测定得到了该地区总共1616个ML≥0.1级地震的震源参数,比较了水库诱发地震与构造地震震源参数特征的差异,得到了以下主要结论:1)龙滩水库地震活动与水库蓄水关系密切,不同蓄水阶段5丛的地震活动状态不同,局部断裂构造发育以及岩石透水性能影响着地震活动对蓄水过程的响应.2)龙滩水库诱发地震的地震矩M0随震级ML的增大而增大,两者之间存在较好的线性关系,统计关系为LogM0=1.07 ML+10.17.应力降与地震大小之间的关系和Nuttli的板内地震为增加应力降(ISD)模型的结果比较吻合,统计关系为LogΔσ=0.71 ML-2.89.3)龙滩水库地区地震辐射能量和地震视应力均随震级的增大而增大,后者意味着大地震是比小地震更高效率的地震能量辐射体.4)总体上不同丛地震应力降水平存在差异.地震应力降空间分布上与库水深度有较好的一致性,即库水深的区域应力降水平高.5)与同震级的构造地震相比,水库诱发地震的应力降值比前者明显偏低,大约小10倍.这可能是由于水库蓄水造成地下介质孔隙压力增大或者水的润滑作用,从而导致在一个比较低的构造应力情况下发生水库诱发地震.

本文利用呼和浩特数字地震遥测台网7个子台记录的119个质量较高的地震事件资料,基于遗传算法,采用Atkinson方法、Moya方法,反演得到了地震的震源谱参数、震源参数。在此基础上,从视应力的定义出发,根据反演得到的震源谱参数以及地震能量与震级的相互关系,计算得到了119个地震的视应力。并对它们之间的相互关系进行了讨论,结果显示,应力降、视应力与震级具有较好的线性关系,震源半径、应力降与视应力具有一定的相关关系。内蒙古中西部地区的高应力降和视应力区域主要集中在研究区的西南部。     

黏滑实验的震级评估和应力降分析

本文通过三种结构模型的黏滑地震模拟实验,利用高频速度连续观测系统获得了地震失稳过程的速度特征,讨论了最大位移量的选取方法,估算了实验室黏滑型地震的矩震级,探讨了黏滑类型、应力降大小与震级的关系.结果表明,黏滑型地震的应力降过程可能包含一次到多次高频振荡,对应若干次黏滑子事件.高频振荡的摆动幅度很大,包含有多种频率成分,峰值速度0.003~0.008 m·s^-1.初步估计黏滑型地震的震级范围为-4.4~-3级,断层构造面的差异对各种黏滑模型的地震震级分布有明显影响.总体来看应力降与地震震级没有明显相关性,决定地震震级的主要因素应当是震源尺度.     

Influence of Nonlinear Processes in Seismic Foci on Released Energy

—The results of the frequency analysis of seismoacoustic elastic waves radiated from the loaded rock sample source models and of rock bursts records are presented. For both categories of study the fundamental symptoms of nonlinear processes in seismic foci were found and demonstrated. Namely, the wave-field modulation (satellites in the spectra), forced synchronisation (spectra simplification and their transformation into a narrow spectral band), frequency shift to lower values and, finally, coherency of radiation. A new method of amplitude-phase distribution is worked out. All this indicates that nonlinear processes can participate in a seismic source during the energy release. Also, the disagreement between the source sizes observed in the nature and computed by means of linear physics, can be explained by self-organising processes.     

利用宽频带数字地震记录测定谱震级

谱震级是表征地震强弱的量度,是地震学研究中的一个重要的地震参数。在地震预测和工程地震研究中具有重要的实际意义。谱震级测定还可得到地震辐射的能量,再通过和标量地震矩的比较,可以估计地震震源处的视应力,而视应力也是震源物理研究中一个重要的物理量。考虑到我国地震台网分布不均匀的情况,本文尝试利用单台的宽频带波形资料进行谱震级的测定。选用CDSN昆明地震台(KMI)记录的近震宽频带波形资料,分析地震图垂直分量上的P波,采用 Duda等人提出的谱震级的测定方法,改进并提出了一种能够利用宽频带波形资料,直接用速度谱值测定地震谱震级的方法。所得谱震级结果与ISC给出的Ms震级对比后,发现相差不大;所得的能量结果与NEIC用远震体波测得的能量结果具有较好的一致性。用同样的方法,将来还可对不同地区更小的地震进行谱震级的测定,这无疑对地震学的进一步研究很有帮助。     

紫坪铺水库地区蓄水前后视应力标度率变化研究

本文利用紫坪铺水库台网记录到的波形资料,计算了2004～2008年170个M_L≥1.0级地震的震源参数.紫坪铺水库震源参数计算结果与其他大陆地区有明显不同:(1)拐角频率远低于其他大陆地区结果,表明库区地震波传播经过了较强的衰减过程;(2)视应力计算结果比其他地区小3个数量级,可能是由于库区地震波的高频成分衰减强烈,低估了能量集中在高频的小地震的地震辐射能量.分析了蓄水前后拐角频率和地震矩以及视应力和地震矩关系(视应力标度率)变化,结果表明:相同地震矩的地震蓄水后拐角频率增加,地震高频成分相对丰富;蓄水前视应力与地震矩的关系不明显,蓄水后视应力随地震矩的增加而增加.视应力标度率的改变可能是蓄水后地震震源物理过程逐渐改变的直接反映.     

中强地震能量震级测定

本文根据地震波衰减特性,开展了利用宽频带地震波形数据测定地震波能量E_S和能量震级M_e的方法研究。利用震中距处于20°—98°范围内的宽频带远震P波波形数据,测定了4次国外和4次国内中强震的能量震级M_e,并对其面波震级M_S、矩震级M_W及能量震级M_e进行了分析对比。结果表明:面波震级M_S表示的是地震在某一固定频率所辐射的地震波能量大小;矩震级M_W与地震所产生的断层长度、断层宽度、震源破裂的平均位错量等静态构造效应密切相关;而能量震级M_e反映的是震源动态特征,与地震震源的动力学特性密切相关。由于地震是以地震波形式辐射,能量主要集中在震源谱的拐角频率附近,因此能量震级M_e更适合描述地震的破坏性。由此可见,联合测定面波震级M_S,矩震级M_W和能量震级M_e对于地震定量研究以及地震灾害与风险评估具有重要作用。      

震级的物理含义与体波波谱特征频率

本文应用位错模型地震震源波谱理论和观测资料,论证了远场体波质点位移或速度最大值（地震震级）决定于彼此独立的两个震源动力学参数地震矩M₀和体波波谱特征频率f₀。因此,仅以地震矩表征地震强度或仅以断层尺度（体波波谱特征频率）分类地震大小,只在另一个震源参数保持为常数时才有可能。体波波谱特征频率携带着震源体波脉冲持续时间的信息。据此,探讨了地震震级的物理含义。     

An Overview of the Study on Stress Magnitude

Crustal stress field holds an important position in geodynamics research, such as in plate motion simulations, uplift of the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau and earthquake preparation and occurrence. However, most of the crustal stress studies emphasize particularly on the determination of stress direction, with little study being done on stress magnitude at present. After reviewing ideas on a stress magnitude study from geological, geophysical and various other aspects, a method to estimate the stress magnitude in the source region according to the deflection of stress direction before and after large earthquakes and the stress drop tensor of earthquake rupture has been developed. The proposed method can also be supplemented by the average apparent stress before and after large earthquakes. The stress direction deflection before and after large earthquakes can be inverted by massive focal mechanisms of foreshocks and aftershocks and the stress drop field generated by the seismic source can be calculated by the detailed distribution of the earthquakes rupture. The mathematical relationship can then be constructed between the stress drop field, where its magnitude and direction are known and the stress tensor before and after large earthquakes, where its direction is known but magnitude is unknown, thereby obtaining the stress magnitude. The average apparent stress before and after large earthquakes can be obtained by using the catalog of broadband radiated energy and seismic moment tensor of foreshocks and aftershocks and the different responses to stress drops. This relationship leads to another estimation of stress magnitude before a large earthquake. The stress magnitude and its error are constrained by combining the two methods, which provide new constraints for the geodynamics study.     

Studies on seismic source

During the period of 1999~2002, the Chinese seismologists made a serious of developments in the study on seismic sources including observations, experiments and theory. In the field of observation, the methods of the accuracy location of earthquake sources, the inversion of seismic moment tensor and the mechanism of earthquake source are improved and developed. A lot of important earthquake events are studied by using these methods. The rupture processes of these events are inverted and investigated combined with the local stress fields and the tectonic moment by using the measurements of surface deformation. In the fields of experiments and theory, many developments are obtained in cause of seismic formation, condition of stress and tectonics, dynamics of earthquake rupture, rock fracture and nucleation of strong earthquakes.

Implications of stress-drop models of earthquakes for the inversion of stress drop from seismic observations

We discuss the inversion of stress drops from seismic observations on the basis of crack or stress-drop models of earthquake mechanism. Since a formal inverse problem cannot be posed at present we discuss implications of solutions to direct problems. We first discuss the static approximations used to obtain stress drop from seismic moment and source dimensions. We show that the geometrical effects are quite significant if only one source dimension has been retrieved from seismic observations. The effect of variable stress drop is discussed and we show that the inverted stress drop is not a simple average of the actual stress drops on the fault. We discuss the energy release during faulting and show that the apparent stress has a complicated relation to the stress drop on the fault. We also show that the static stress drops obtained by seismologists are a lower bound to the actual dynamic stress drops on the fault. This may in part explain disagreements with laboratory results. Finally, we discuss the inversion of source dimensions from the far-field radiation. We analyse two extreme, simple dynamical source models, a circular fault and a rectangular fault and show that geometry has a much more pronounced effect on radiation than is usually acknowledged.     

福建古田水口水库M_L4.8级地震序列震源参数研究

应用福建省区域数字地震台网观测记录到的古田水口水库ML4.8级地震序列的资料,在扣除地震记录数据中传播路径效应、台站场地响应和仪器响应后,采用Atkinson单地震、多台记录平均的反演方法计算震源参数,共计算了序列中的38个ML≥2.5级地震的震源参数。结果显示：地震矩与震级之间有较好的线性关系,统计关系式为logM0=1.08ML＋9.63;建立了用ML震级估算矩震级MW的公式MW=0.72ML＋0.387;其它的参数间虽有一定的相关性,但很难给出定量的关系。对地震序列应力降随时间发展的变化分析认为,在前震期水口水库区域存在应力加速积累的过程,有出现高应力降异常值的发生,临近主震时,应力降有所回调;最大余震后,应力降呈逐步衰减,未出现高异常值。
