Earthquake relocation using a 3D velocity model and implications on seismogenic faults in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region

To enhance the understanding of the geometry and characteristics of seismogenic faults in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,we relocated 14805 out of 16063 earthquakes(113°E-120°E,36°N-43°N)that occurred between January 2008 and December 2020 using the double-difference tomography method.Based on the spatial variation in seismicity after relocation,the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region can be divided into three seismic zones:Xingtai-Wen'an,Zhangbei-Ninghexi,and Tangshan.(1)The Xingtai-Wen'an Seismic Zone has a northeastsouthwest strike.The depth profile of earthquakes perpendicular to the strike reveals three northeast-striking,southeast-dipping,high-angle deep faults(>10 km depth),including one below the shallow(<10 km depth)listric,northwest-dipping Xinghe fault in the Xingtai region.Two additional deep faults in the Wen'an region are suggested to be associated with the 2006 M 5.1 Wen'an Earthquake and the 1967 M 6.3 Dacheng earthquake;(2)The Zhangbei-Ninghexi Seismic Zone is oriented north-northwest.Multiple northeast-striking faults(10-20 km depth),inferred from the earthquake-intensive zones,exist beneath the shallow(<10 km depth)Xiandian Fault,Xiaotangshan Fault,Huailai-Zhuolu Basin North Fault,Yangyuan Basin Fault and Yanggao Basin North Fault;(3)In the Tangshan Seismic Zone,earthquakes are mainly concentrated near the northeast-striking Tangshan-Guye Fault,Lulong Fault,and northwest-striking Luanxian-Laoting Fault.An inferred north-south-oriented blind fault is present to the north of the Tangshan-Guye Fault.The 1976 M 7.8 Tangshan earthquake occurred at the junction of a shallow northwest-dipping fault and a deep southeast-dipping fault.This study emphasizes that earthquakes in the region are primarily associated with deep blind faults.Some deep blind faults have different geometries compared to shallow faults,suggesting a complex fault system in the region.Overall,this research provides valuable insights into the seismogenic faults in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region.Further studies and monitoring of these faults are essential for earthquake mitigation efforts in this region.

Relocation of the 1998 Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake sequence using the double difference earthquake location algorithm

On January 10, 1998, at 11h50min Beijing Time (03h50min UTC), an earthquake of ML=6.2 occurred in the border region between the Zhangbei County and Shangyi County of Hebei Province. This earthquake is the most significant event to have occurred in northern China in the recent years. The earthquake-generating structure of this event was not clear due to no active fault capable of generating a moderate earthquake was found in the epicentral area, nor surface ruptures with any predominate orientation were observed, no distinct orientation of its aftershock distribution given by routine earthquake location was shown. To study the seismogenic structure of the Zhangbei- Shangyi earthquake, the main shock and its aftershocks with ML3.0 of the Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake sequence were relocated by the authors of this paper in 2002 using the master event relative relocation technique. The relocated epicenter of the main shock was located at 41.145癗, 114.462癊, which was located 4 km to the NE of the macro-epicenter of this event. The relocated focal depth of the main shock was 15 km. Hypocenters of the aftershocks distributed in a nearly vertical plane striking 180~200 and its vicinity. The relocated results of the Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake sequence clearly indicated that the seismogenic structure of this event was a NNE-SSW-striking fault with right-lateral and reverse slip. In this paper, a relocation of the Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake sequence has been done using the double difference earthquake location algorithm (DD algorithm), and consistent results with that obtained by the master event technique were obtained. The relocated hypocenters of the main shock are located at 41.131癗, 114.456癊, which was located 2.5 km to the NE of the macro-epicenter of the main shock. The relocated focal depth of the main shock was 12.8 km. Hypocenters of the aftershocks also distributed in a nearly vertical N10E-striking plane and its vicinity. The relocated results using DD algorithm clearly indicated that the seismogenic structure of this event was a NNE-striking fault again.

Double Difference Location of the Mainshock and Aftershocks of the Hutubi MS6.2 Earthquake That Occurred on December 8,2016

The mainshock and aftershocks of the Hutubi M_S6.2 earthquake on December 8,2016 were relocated by applying the double difference method, and we relocated 477 earthquakes in the Hutubi region. The earthquake relocation results show that the aftershocks are distributed in the east-west direction towards the north side of the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault,and are mainly distributed in the western region of the mainshock. The distance between the mainshock after relocation and the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is obviously shortened. Combined with the focal mechanism and the spatial distribution of the mainshock and aftershocks,it is inferred that the southern margin of the Junggar Basin fault is the main seismogenic structure of the Hutubi earthquake.

Fault location of two-parallel transmission line for double phase-to-earth fault using one-terminal data

An accurate algorithm for fault location of double phase-to-earth fault on transmission line of direct ground neutral system is presented. The algorithm, which employs the faulted phase network and zero-sequence network as fault-location model in which the source impedance at the remote end is not involved, ef-fectively eliminates the effect of load flow and fault resistance on the accuracy of fault location. The algorithm achieves accurate location by measuring only one local end data and is used in a procedure that provides automatic determination of faulted types and phases, and does not require the engineer to specify them. Simulation results showed the effectiveness of the algorithm under the condition of double phase-to-earth fault.

Dependence of Plasma Parameters on Plate Separation and Filament Location in a Double Plasma Device

A pair of stainless steel (ss) plates separates the source and target regions of a double plasma device. Two sets of tungsten filaments, placed at different distances from the ss plates, are then used to produce plasma alternately and the plasma parameters in the source and target regions for different discharge voltage, discharge current and plate separation are measured using Langmuir probes. It is found that plasma density and electron temperature are considerably affected and respond differently to changes in the plate separations and the position of the filaments.

Application of the Double-difference Relocation Method Combined with Waveform Cross-correlation on the Three Gorges Reservoir Seismicity

In this paper,we use the double difference location method based on waveform crosscorrelation algorithm for precise positioning of the Three Gorges Reservoir( TGR)earthquakes and analysis of seismic activity. First,we use the bi-spectrum cross-correlation method to analyze the seismic waveform data of TGR encrypted networks from March,2009 to December,2010,and evaluate the quality of waveform cross-correlation analysis.Combined with the waveform cross-correlation of data obtained, we use the double difference method to relocate the earthquake position. The results show that location precision using bi-spectrum verified waveform cross-correlation data is higher than that by using other types of data,and the mean 2 sig-error in EW,NS and UD are 3.2 m,3.9 m and 6.2 m,respectively. For the relocation of the Three Gorges Reservoir earthquakes,the results show that the micro-earthquakes along the Shenlongxi river in the Badong reservoir area obviously show the characteristics of three linear zones with nearly east-west direction,which is in accordance with the small faults and carbonate strata line of the neotectonic period,revealing the reservoir water main along the underground rivers or caves permeated and induced seismic activity. The stronger earthquakes may have resulted from small earthquakes through the active layers.

A Novel Fault Location Algorithmfor Double-Circuit Transmission Lines based on Distributed Parameter

Anewfault location algorithmfor double-circuit transmissionlines is described inthis paper.Theproposed method uses data extractedfromtwo ends of the transmissionlines andthus eliminates the effects ofthe source impedance andthe fault resistance.The distributed parameter model and the modal transformationare also employed.Depending on modal transformation,the coupled equations of the lines are converted intodecoupled ones.Inthis way,the mutual coupling effects between adjacent circuits of the lines are eliminatedandtherefore an accurate fault location can be achieved.The proposed methodis tested via digital simulationusing EMTP in conjunction with MATLAB.The test results corroborate the high accuracy of the proposedmethod.

Relocation of aftershocks of the Wenchuan M_S8.0 earthquake and its implication to seismotectonics

From 14：28 （GMT＋8） on May 12th, 2008, the origin time of Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, to December 31th, 2008, more than 10 000 aftershocks （M〉2.0） had been recorded by the seismic networks in Sichuan and surrounding areas. Using double difference algorithm, the main shock and more than 7 000 aftershocks were relocated. The aftershocks distribute about 350 km long. The depths of aftershocks are mainly between 10 km and 20 km. The average depth of aftershocks is about 13 km after relocation. In the southwest, the distribution of aftershocks is along the back-range fault, the central-range fault and the front-range fault of Longmenshan faults. In the middle, the distribution of aftershocks is along the central-range fault. In the north, aftershocks are relocated along the Qingchuan-Pingwu fault. Relocations suggest that the back-range fault mainly induced and controlled the aftershoek occurrence in the northern section of aftershocks sequence. The Ms8.0 main shock is between central-range and front-range of Longmenshan faults and is near the shear plane of the fault bottom. From the depth distribution of aftershock sequence, it suggests that these three faults show imbricate thrust structure.

Fine Velocity Structure and Relocation of the 2010 M_L 5.1 Earthquake Sequence in the Rongchang Gas Field

Based on data collected from a temporal seismic network, and in addition to the data from some nearby permanent stations, we investigate the velocity structure and seismicity in the Rongchang gas field, where significant injection-induced seismicity has been identified. First, we use receiver functions from distant earthquakes to invert detailed 1-D velocity structures beneath typical stations. Then, we use the double-difference hypocenter location method to re-locate earthquakes of the 2010 MLS. 1 earthquake sequence that occurred in the region. The re-located hypocenters show that the 2010 MLS. 1 earthquake sequence was distributed in a small area surrounding major injection wells and clustered mostly along pre-existing faults. Major earthquakes show a focal depth less than 5km with a dominant depth of -2km, a depth of major reservoirs and injection wells. We thus conclude that the 2010 ML 5. 1 earthquake sequence might have been induced by the deep well injection of unwanted water at a depth - 3km in the Rongchang gas field.

基于小波变换和GA-BP神经网络的电力电缆故障定位

由于电力电缆敷设于地下,当发生故障时难以快速且准确定位,出现了故障定位问题。因此,提出一种基于小波变换和遗传算法反向传播(Genetic algorithm back propagation,GA-BP)神经网络的电力电缆故障定位方法,在分析对比各小波能量集中程度和波动次数的基础上,选择多贝西小波(Daubechies wavelet 6,Db6)作为小波基函数,对于各故障位置,采集正向故障行波的α模分量,并对其进行小波分解。选取在d1尺度下的模极大值点作为特征值,同时将故障距离作为标签值,从而构建了训练和测试样本数据集;利用遗传算法(Genetic algorithm,GA)的种群进化和全局最优搜寻能力来改善误差逆传播(Back propagation,BP)网络对初始权重敏感的缺点,并使用优化后的权值、阈值重新对BP神经网络进行训练和预测,最后通过与传统双端行波定位算法、BP算法、粒子群优化BP算法(Particle swarm optimization BP,PSO-BP)相比较,证明了所提方法在测距性能方面的优越性。

东昆仑断裂带东段微震检测与构造分析

本文整理了一套包括微震检测、地震去噪、震相拾取和地震定位的构建高精度地震目录数据的处理流程。收集了青海省内东昆仑断裂带东段20个数字地震台站记录的2009−2018年的连续地震数据,并应用该流程进行微震检测、去噪和定位。首先,从台网中心提供的3198个地震事件目录中筛选出1200个信噪比高且震相较为明显的地震事件作为模板事件,利用基于图像处理器加速的模板匹配定位方法(GPU-M&L)进行遗漏地震的检测与识别,然后利用基于神经网络的地震波形去噪方法进行去噪处理,再结合基于深度学习的震相拾取技术和双差定位方法对去噪后的地震事件进行震相拾取和定位。使用GPU-M&L共检测出13318个地震事件,约为台网地震目录事件数量的4.2倍;去噪后得到7514个地震事件,约为台网地震目录事件数量的2.3倍,完备震级从台网目录的ML 1.5降低至ML 0.9。定位后共获得7247个地震事件,精定位结果显示,东昆仑断裂带东段的地震以中小震为主,在空间上呈窄条带状或簇状分布,震源深度的优势分布深度为0~15 km;在101°E附近地震的空间展布发生变化,主要沿阿万仓断裂带向东南展布;在玛沁-玛曲段可能存在地震空区。本研究的微震结果为研究东昆仑断裂带东段地震活动性、发震断层的深部构造等提供了重要的数据基础。

福建仙游震群的应力场及其成因分析

利用双差定位法对2010年8月1日至2014年12月31日福建仙游地区中国地震台网中心记录到的地震群进行重定位,并采用P波初动的方法求解出该震群的159个震源机制解,显示该震群的震源机制解结果与背景构造应力场表现明显不一致。为了进一步探究差异性存在的原因,将得到的震群震源机制解结果分区域和分深度求解应力场,结果显示:金钟水库的东南部附近应力方向更远离背景构造应力方向,并且应力形因子小于0.5,中间轴呈现为拉张应力;随着深度的增加,应力场的方向也更接近背景构造应力场的方向。此外,根据前人研究推断该区域应力方向发生偏转是由于太平洋板块在深部的低角度俯冲挤压导致浅部张开,应力呈现为东西向拉张所致。在上述两原因的共同作用下,使得经震源机制解反演出的应力场结果与背景应力场差别较大。

隐伏振动源的地震定位技术

隐伏目标探测是军事防护的重点之一,但是难以借助常规的光学或图像技术实现。针对这一问题,本文首先回溯和总结地震定位技术的发展和应用,展示了地震方法在隐伏振动目标探测和定位上具有显著的优势;然后利用中国柴达木盆地西部采集的微地震资料,采用非线性定位法和双差法对微地震事件进行了定位。最终结果表明:1)与非线性定位方法相比,重定位的微震震源分布得更集中,震群之间的边界更清晰,与已知的断裂构造相符;2)重定位的误差降低了一个量级,绝大多数地震事件经过非线性定位后的水平和深度误差在1000 m以内,而双差法的误差则控制在100 m以内。该实例证实了利用地震定位技术探测隐伏振动目标的可行性。

2023年甘肃积石山M_(S)6.2地震精定位及发震构造研究

采用双差定位的方法,对2023年12月18日甘肃省积石山县M_(S)6.2地震的余震(震后一周)进行重定位,最后获得438个地震事件(包含主震)的位置。定位结果显示余震主要呈NNW向分布,长度约为16 km;主震位于余震带的中央偏东北处,余震分布与拉脊山断裂近似平行,与主震的震源机制解吻合;余震的震源深度主要集中在6.5~12 km,主震深度为11.5 km。从沿断裂走向的剖面可以观察到,此次地震的浅地表余震事件较少,因此未造成明显的地表破裂。对发震断裂的分析表明,拉脊山断裂带的走滑速率较低,这可能代表其处于强锁定阶段。此外,地震聚类分析表明,尽管北拉脊山断裂是主要发震断裂,南拉脊山断裂与此次地震的发震构造也存在紧密联系。
