1989年四川省巴塘群震5个事件的震源机制

基于３台ＤＲ－２００数字化记录仪在１９８９年四川省巴塘群震序列的主要活动时间内（４月１６日至５月４日）所记录的地震波形资料,利用矩张量反演方法处理得到了５个ＭＳ＝４．０～４．３地震的震源机制。仅仅从这５个地震的处理结果,我们同样看到了这次巴塘群震所对应的断层活动的复杂性。取震源机制解中的一个节面对照分析,这５个地震所对应的断层走向为ＮＥＥ—ＳＷＷ（４９°～７７°）,倾角在２０°～７３°间变化,而滑动角变化较大,有正有负,对应断层活动有逆倾滑左旋（３个）,近走滑右旋（１个）和正倾滑右旋（１个）。地质调查也证实当地的构造是相当复杂的。在５个震源机制解中,有３个解反映的Ｐ轴（主压应力轴）方位在ＮＥ—ＳＷ方向,这与当地的主构造应力方向是一致的,说明这次群震活动主要是由大背景的构造运动引起的,即青藏高原受印度板块东端犄角顶撞隆起而形成对川滇棱形块体北东向的挤压作用。主断层发震后,应力场局部调整,触发次级或周围其它的断层活动,从而形成了如此丰富而复杂的震源机制     

利用地震矩张量反演阿尔金断裂带现今运动学特征

利用地震矩张量反演断裂形变带运动学参数的方法,应用于阿尔金断裂带现今运动学特征的研究。结果表明,阿尔金断裂带以沿Ｓ１４°Ｅ的压缩运动为主,压缩速率为１．１３ｍｍ／ａ;同时,断裂带还以０．１７ｍｍ／ａ的速率发生左旋剪切运动     

利用长周期体波反演2003年伽师6.8级地震及其前后中小地震矩张量

选用了喀什和乌什两个数字地震台站所记录的数字波形资料,对2003年2月24日新疆伽师6.8级强震及其前后发生的一系列中小地震(2001～2004年发生的108个地震)的矩张量解进行了反演,计算出了其中67个地震的震源机制解,与哈佛大学及USGS给出的结果较一致.对结果分析发现:强震发生之前,中小地震分布比较分散,强震发生之后地震分布主要集中在主震的周围;中小地震地震断层性质在强震发生之前以走滑和正断层为主,在强震发生之后以走滑和逆断层为主;强震之后该区域主要仍受着南面块体的近南北向水平挤压.     

Influence of deterioration modelling on the seismic response of steel moment frames designed to Eurocode 8

This paper assesses the influence of cyclic and in‐cycle degradation on seismic drift demands in moment‐resisting steel frames (MRF) designed to Eurocode 8. The structural characteristics, ground motion frequency content, and level of inelasticity are the primary parameters considered. A set of single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) systems, subjected to varying levels of inelastic demands, is initially investigated followed by an extensive study on multi‐storey frames. The latter comprises a large number of incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) on 12 frames modelled with or without consideration of degradation effects. A suite of 56 far‐field ground motion records, appropriately scaled to simulate 4 levels of inelastic demand, is employed for the IDA. Characteristic results from a detailed parametric investigation show that maximum response in terms of global and inter‐storey drifts is notably affected by degradation phenomena, in addition to the earthquake frequency content and the scaled inelastic demands. Consistently, both SDOF and frame systems with fundamental periods shorter than the mean period of ground motion can experience higher lateral strength demands and seismic drifts than those of non‐degrading counterparts in the same period range. Also, degrading multi‐storey frames can exhibit distinctly different plastic mechanisms with concentration of drifts at lower levels. Importantly, degrading systems might reach a “near‐collapse” limit state at ductility demand levels comparable to or lower than the assumed design behaviour factor, a result with direct consequences on optimised design situations where over‐strength would be minimal. Finally, the implications of the findings with respect to design‐level limit states are discussed.     

STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF STRONG EARTHQUAKE ON THE RECURRENCE BEHAVIOR OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKE ON ACTIVE FAULT-TAKING THE MIDDLE-NORTH SECTION OF XIANSHUIHE FAULT AS AN EXAMPLE

It is of great significance to determine the factors and causes that affect the recurrence of major earthquakes. This paper introduces the influence of strong earthquake on the recurrence of major earthquakes according to elastic rebound theory, and then proposes to calculate the impact time Δt respectively from the effect of strong earthquakes on the same and surrounding faults on the major earthquake recurrence by using seismic moment release rate method and Coulomb stress change. In this paper, we studied the change amount of major earthquake recurrence by taking four earthquakes with magnitude greater than 6.5 occurring at different fracture sections of the Xianshuhe fault zone as an example, they occurred on Daofu, Changcu, Zhuwo Fault, respectively. We used seismic moment rate method to calculate the impact time Δt of strong earthquake on the recurrence of major earthquakes on the Daofu-Qianning Fault. We further discussed the effect of the Coulomb stress change due to the interaction between faults on the recurrence of subsequent major earthquakes. The co-seismic and post-seismic Coulomb stress changes caused by strong earthquake on the surrounding faults on the Ganzi-Luhuo Fault are calculated. With the fault interaction considered, the importance of the interaction between faults in the middle-north section of the Xianshuihe fault zone to change the recurrence of large earthquakes is retested and evaluated. The results indicate that the two strong earthquakes occurring along Xianshuihe Fault in 1904(M=7.0) and 1981(M=6.9) resulted in a delay of 80 years and 45 years of major earthquake recurrence on the Daofu-Qianning Fault respectively, and the M7.3 earthquake in 1923 and the M6.8 earthquake in 1967 resulted in an advance of 35 years of major earthquake recurrence on the Ganzi-Luhuo Fault.     

震级国家新标准在内蒙古测震台网速报中的应用

选取内蒙古测震台网2016年1月—2018年9月速报的地震,按照新的国家标准《地震震级的规定》(GB17740—2017)和现行地震速报规定分别重新测定震级,并测定矩震级。结果表明:新国标测定的地震数可较好地满足G—R线性关系,且所测震级更接近矩震级。震级新的国家标准应用后,速报的震级下限降低,地震数明显增加,可有效满足社会发展对有感地震监测服务的需求,并更加科学地为地震预报研究提供基础数据资料。     

云南地震台网与中国地震台网、美国地震台网测定震级的对比

利用云南地震台网全面数字化之后(2008-2017年)的记录资料,按照《地震震级的规定》(GB17740-2017)规定的测定方法,对云南地震台网记录的ML≥4. 0地震,重新人工测量其宽频带面波震级MS(BB)和矩震级Mw,与中国地震台网测定的MS7以及美国地震台网(NEIC)测定的MW(NEIC)进行对比分析。结果表明:①MS(BB)和MS7测量方法相同,量规函数相等,两者一致性最好。②对于面波震级与矩震级,当MW在3. 5左右时,MS7,MS(BB)与MW一致性最好;MW<3. 5时,MS7和MS(BB)均小于MW;MW> 3. 5时,MS7和MS(BB)大于MW。③MS(BB)与美国地震台网相比较,MS(BB)在5. 5和6. 0左右时,与MW(NEIC)一致性最好,几乎相等;MS(BB)<5. 5时,MS(BB) 6. 0时,MS(BB)> MW(NEIC)。④MW和MW(NEIC)之间存在偏差,MW整体小于MW(NEIC)。     

张掖MS 5.0地震前山丹地震台地电阻率异常分析

通过分析山丹地震台地电阻率资料发现,在2019年9月16日张掖M_S 5.0地震前地电阻率出现了明显的异常变化,即2016年11月开始EW测道观测数据出现年变畸变异常,年变幅度几近消失,该异常持续至2018年年底。采用傅里叶滑动去年变分析发现,同段年变消失,去年变后数值出现超阈值异常;采用矩平处理方法分析发现,2016年11月至2018年10月观测值小于矩平拟合值,出现低值异常。研究表明,该异常可能与2019年9月16日张掖M_S 5.0地震有关。
