The results are as follows： （1） The major axis of shaking intensity distribution is directed NW-SE, parallel to the Yushu fault; （2） The meizoseismal area reaches an intensity IX and covers 300km^2; （3） The intensity IX area is mainly distributed in the area 40km southeast and 15km northwest of the epicenter along the causative fault; （4） Due to local soil conditions, the northwestern part of the area with intensity IX on bedrock shows an intensity Ⅷ when converting from the bedrock to the soil; （5） Areas with intensity Ⅷ, VII, VI measure 3,000km^2, 8,000km^2, and 24,000km^2, respectively.展开更多
