The aim is to investigate the correlation between mainshocks and aftershocks using Copula theory and seven representative intensity measures: peak ground acceleration (PGA), cumulative absolute velocity (CAV), peak ground velocity (PGV), Arias intensity, significant duration, mean frequency and predominant frequency of Fourier amplitude spectrum. The findings reveal a moderate to strong non-linear correlation among the seven intensity measures of mainshocks and aftershocks. This non-linear correlation can be effectively captured using Gumbel, Gaussian, and t-Copula functions.

In the present study, Pb-PSHA is carried out for the entire southern Peninsular India, with a detailed demonstration for the Kalpakkam site, Tamilnadu. Due to absence of any data on local fault characteristics and past rupture models, simulations are derived using the spectral element method, for several source rupture scenarios. Further, the stochastic seismological model is used to simulate for high frequency (1-100 Hz) ensemble ground motions. Broadband ground motions are then obtained by combining the results from the deterministic model i.e., low frequency (0.01-1 Hz) simulations and the stochastic model. Further, PSHA based on elliptical gridded seismicity is carried out to obtain hazard curves for spectral accelerations. The ensuing uniform hazard response spectra are compared against the outcome of traditional PSHA involving a global GMM.

We employed the Kinematic Waveform Inversion (KIWI) procedure to determine the point and extended source parameters of these events, using a multistep inversion approach for stable solutions. Our analysis highlighted the directivity of the earthquakes: the first event exhibited bilateral directivity, causing a rupture area that reached the surface, while the second event showed unilateral westward directivity, supported by waveform amplitude differences observed at various stations. This directivity analysis plays an essential role in seismic hazard studies. Our findings regarding the source parameters of these recent doublet earthquakes in the Fin region align well with regional geological trends and fault patterns. However, retrieving the main fault plane for the second earthquake was challenging due to the complexities of the waveform.

Dealing with this requires a thorough understanding of the underlying physics and consideration of inter-site variability. The most common ground motion model used in practice is the parametric ground motion prediction equation (GMPE), of which hundreds exist in the literature. However, relatively few are developed with a focus on induced seismicity. Developing GMPEs that are specific to an appropriate magnitude-distance range (<span>(R < 30)</span> km; <span>(2 le M le 6)</span>) is important for induced seismicity applications. This paper proposes a framework for the development of physically-based GMPEs to provide more accurate and reliable estimates of the potential induced-seismicity ground motion hazard, allowing for better risk assessment and management strategies. To demonstrate this approach, a new set of GMPEs for the 2018-2019 induced seismicity sequence at the Preston New Road (PNR) shale gas site near Blackpool, United Kingdom, is presented. The physically-based GMPE was developed based on a pseudo-finite-fault stochastic ground motion simulation, calibrated with parameters derived from the spectral analysis of weak-motion records from induced seismic events. An optimization-based calibration technique using the area metric (AM) was subsequently performed to calibrate optimal parameters for simulating ground motion at the PNR site. Finally, using a suite of forward simulations for events with <span>(1 le M le 6)</span> recorded at distances up to 30 km, combined with empirical data, a location-specific GMPE was derived through adjustment of an existing model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Seismology","volume":"28 5","pages":"1147 - 1171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10950-024-10235-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This event marked the first recorded earthquake in this area. We employed the polarity of P and S wave first motions, as well as SH and SV amplitudes and their respective ratios (SH/P and SV/SH), to constrain the focal mechanism solution. Furthermore, considering Brune's circular source model, kinematic source parameters were estimated through spectral analysis of available and reliable seismic data. The obtained solution reveals an oblique-slip fault mechanism, characterized by strike, dip, and rake angles of 341º, 69º, and -47º, respectively. Additionally, the two fault planes exhibit trends aligned with the E-W and NNW directions. This normal fault mechanism with a strike component aligns with previously identified events in various active areas of Egypt, indicating a dominant extensional stress regime. The trend/plunge of the P and T axes are determined to be 299º/46º and 42º/13º, respectively. Moreover, the NE trending of the T axis agrees well with the current extension stress field prevalent along the eastern border of Egypt. The average seismic moment and moment magnitude values for P and SH waves are estimated to be 1.86 × 10<sup>14</sup> Nm, and 3.5, respectively. Furthermore, the average source values of radius and stress drop are calculated to be 304 m, and 29 bar, respectively. Through a comparative and comprehensive analysis of fault mechanism solutions in the Nile Delta region and its surroundings, we have concluded that the fault structures in the Hinge Zone and Cairo-Suez Shear Zone exhibit similarities. This finding provides evidence that the geodynamic processes and fault style are identical.

We used the stochastic declustering method based on the space-time ETAS model to obtain the background seismicity. We then implemented the accelerating moment release (AMR) model, the Ogata-Katsura 1993 (OK1993) model, the moment ratio (MR) model and the Region-Time-Length (RTL) algorithm. Finally, we analyzed the spatial migration of strong earthquakes. The completeness magnitude of the earthquake sequence does not significantly change with time, with the minimum completeness magnitude being 2.0 for the Zhangjiakou-Bohai tectonic zone. The results provided by the aforementioned seismic activity models allow us to detect some differences between sectors of the tectonic belt. The Zhangjiakou and Tangshan segments show a higher level of seismic hazard compared to the others, which have little chance of a strong earthquake occurring (weak release of seismic energy). The <i>b</i> value of the Zhangjiakou segment shows a stepwise downward trend, reflecting the gradual increase of stress accumulation level, and the hazard of moderate-strong earthquakes is increasing. Compared with the Tangshan and Penglai segments, the Zhangjiakou and Beijing sectors have a slightly higher MR index, which means that the rate of earthquake occurrence is increasing and thus the hazard of moderate to strong earthquakes. According to the RTL value, the deviation of seismic activity in the Zhangjiakou and Tangshan segments is relatively high, and there is a possibility of moderate to strong earthquakes in the future. Based on the results obtained from various seismicity models and the migration law of strong earthquakes, we can say that the overall seismic hazard for each sector of the Zhangjiakou-Bohai tectonic chain is low in terms of qualitative analysis.
