A Study on the Statistical Relation Between Mainshocks and Aftershocks in West China and Its Application


Abstract eng:
In this paper, research on after-quakes are summarized and spatial and temporal feature of after-quake distribution is revealed by regression analysis based empirical formula between mainshocks and aftershocks, which uses larger portion of samples of earthquake records with magnitude equal to and larger than 5.0 and starting from the time when West China has first modern seismograph, and statistically reliable. This result can be useful for determination of accumulative damage and provide preliminary consideration of main and after-quake motion inputting.
