地震危险区的确定和检验方法

区域应力场在一定时期内是比较稳定的。尽管大陆地壳存在着不均匀性,存在着断裂带和破碎区,但在稳定的区域应力场作用下,很难由地震活动显示出局部介质强弱区的差异。但是,在一次大地震发生之后,它的能量就会向邻近地区传递,在这种附加力源的作用下,周围不同地区就会显示出地震活动的差异。在介质强度低、岩石较破碎的地区就会发生较多的中、小地震,而在介质强度高、岩石较完整的地区就不容易发生中、小地震,这样就可能形成地震空区或空段。根据这些地震空区或空段我们可以初步确定未来大震的危险区。地震危险区确定之后,我们还可以利用附近再次发生的中、强地震对空区或空段进行检验,以检查地震空区或空段存在的真实性,提高可信程度。本文总结了1966年邢台地震之后中国发生的几次大地震资料,结果表明,用上述方法确定地震危险区比较客观,可靠性较强。

A METHOD OF DETERMINING AND EXAMINING EARTHQUAKE RISK REGION

A method of determining and examining earthquake risk region has been developed in this paper. After a strong earthquake, the energy propagated to the neighbourhood, It will become a triggering force to another earthquake in neighbouring region. Under the effect of the triggering force, the small and moderate earthquakes may easy occur in the low strength medium region, but in the high strength medium region the earthquake isn''t easy to occur. Thus, the seismic gap may be shown by the small and moderate earthquakes. The high strength region (or seismic gap)can be regarded as future earthquake risk region. We can also examine the truthfullness of the seismic gap using the other earthquakes in succession.
