Study on Aftershocks Triggering by Static Stress Changes of the Minxian-Zhangxian 6.6 Earthquake
Abstract:
On July 22, 2013, an Ms6.6 earthquake occurred in Minxian-Zhangxian, Gansu Province, China, which caused serious damages. Because of the abundance and clear relationship with the main shocks, aftershocks sequences are typical types of behavior and provide useful data sets. To better understand the aftershocks triggering by static stress changes of the main earthquake, based on Okada’s elastic half-space model, we used accept fault plane consistent with the source and accept fault plane as the optimal models to calculate the stress changes on aftershock focuses by the Minxian-Zhangxian 6.6 Earthquake respectively. The results show that the latter model is better than former, more than 90% of aftershocks located in NWW and SEE, the stress increased areas, which is consistent with strike of Lintan-Tanchang fault (LTF), in other words, the Coulomb static stress changes of the main shock can induce the aftershocks.
