Abstract:Several earthquake precursory methods are combined to investigate the future large earthquake potential in the research region.First the Pattern Informatics（PI） method is used to quantify localized changes surrounding the epicenters of large earthquakes and to objectively quantify the anomalous areas（hot spots） of the upcoming events.Then the seismogenic regions of the ensuing large events are delineated by integrating with associated active fault zones.Finally,the earthquake potential in the region is evaluated using 3 other short-to-intermediate-term earthquake prediction methods（Load Unload Response Ratio,State Vector,and Accelerate Moment Release）.In the spatial scale the approach can achieve the gradual approximation to the seismogenic zones;while in the temporal scale,the approach can achieve the natural transition from the long term to the short-to-intermediate-term earthquake forecast.As a retrospective study,the large earthquakes（ML6.5） occurred in western China in last 3 years are examined.The results may suggest that,rather than a single precursory method,the multi-methods combined approach can be a useful tool to provide stronger constraints on forecasts of future large events.

Abstract:In the model of homogeneous medium of two horizontal layers,the effect caused by disturb current on surface when observing the geo-electric resistivity in different geo-electric sections is calculated.The result shows that the effect caused by disturb current is determined by the type and parameters of geo-electric section,the distance from electrodes to disturb current and the depth of electrodes.The result of this article may be used as a reference when choosing the electric structure under stations,determining the depth of electrodes and escaping from disturb current.

Abstract:Based on the digital teleseismic P-wave seismograms recorded by 15 long-period seismograph stations of the global seismic network,source rupture process of the April 14,2010 Yushu MS=7.1 earthquake is studied by a inversion method,and compared with surface rupture zone which was investigated after the earthquake.The result shows that the earthquake is a unilateral rupture event on the whole.The source rupture initiated at the hypocenter（33.2°N,96.6°E,focal depth 10 km）,and propagated to the southeast at first.The rupture broken though the ground surface departed from 20 km of the epicenter,it extended 50 km along strike,the maximal slip is 2 m.These results are coincide with the investigated feature of the surface rupture zone.

Abstract:A model is formulated for calculating the reliability of gravity retaining wall corresponding to such failure mode as overturning,base sliding,insufficient bearing capacity of foundation and tensile strength of the wall,and a gradual equivalent method is employed to calculate the reliability of the structural system.The design parameters are assumed to be random variables with normal distribution,the random sample is extracted by using MATLAB library function normrnd.The reliability of several monadic failure modes and the reliability of the structural system are calculated by selecting a real retrofitted gravity retaining wall as numerical example and the result is compared with the theoretical analysis results made by author.The result shows that the reliability calculated from the two methods are consistent.

Abstract:Based on the review of researches on several models for earthquake casualty estimation in recent years,according to the empirical estimation model of PAGER system which is released by USGS in October,2007,two regional applicable earthquake casualty estimation models are developed using the loss records of 128 earthquakes from 1970 to 2008 in China.And using 234 earthquakes occurred from 1980 to 2007,a linear regression relationship between the number of the seriously injured and the number of death caused by earthquakes is established.At last,by comparing the estimation of casualty using the models with the actual number of victims in 2008 Wenchuan earthquake,it is proved that the model can make approximate estimation.

Abstract:The Longquanshan fault zone is a regional fault which is located between strongly concaved block of western Sichuan basin and stably uplifted block of middle Sichuan.After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008,the earthquake risk potential of this fault has been greatly concerned.In this paper,the distribution,late Quaternary activity,deep structure and formation mechanism of Longquanshan fault zone are discussed.It＇s possible that the north segment section of Longquanshan fault zone is distributed along the west side of Lonquanshan mountain at east of Deyang city.The fault emerges in both wings of anticline on the middle segment of the fault;and the south segment of the fault is mainly W-dipping.The fault has been active since Late Pleistocene.The previous terrace investigation demonstrated that the fault zone even actived in Holocene.Considering the evaluating the earthquake risk potential of this fault,further investigationg on the activity time,deep structure and movement mode of the fault zone is deserved to be done.

Abstract:The feature of earthquake ground motion parameters of loess plateau in the eastern Gansu province are analyzed on the basis of geological tectonic environment,historic earthquake influence,building damaging features and earthquake risk probability calculation.The amplification factor and landform zoning of the seismic parameters are studied by the seismic response analysis of loess site and topography characters.The research shows that the earthquake impact is mainly caused by strong earthquake from long distance and the earthquake duration time of ground motion is longer in which the long-period component is abundant.The thick loess and landform have significant amplification to the earthquake ground motion and the seismic parameters have landform zoning behavior.Comparison with the seismic ground motion parameter zonation map,some suggestions to the seismic fortification parameters are proposed for the loess plateau in eastern Gansu province.

Abstract:Taking the Hohhot-Baotou region（40° ~ 42°N,108°~ 114°E） in Central Inner Mongolia as study area,collecting the earthquake events with ML≥1.0 from January 1,2001 to April 30,2010,the number of seismic samples is sliding scaned and the minimum integrality magnitude Mc is calculated.The Mc change curve with time is drawn also.It is considered that Mc change along with the time is mainly reflected by monitoring capabilities of earthquake station network and seismic activities,but the station layout、the earthquake noise ratio and human factors can also cause short-term or discontinuous Mc change.Meanwhile in two assumptions made by Rydelek,the completeness of earthquake catalog in Hohhot-Baotou area is tested by RS method.The tested result is consistent with our Mc value,and also with the monitoring magnitude range obtained from the monitoring ability of local network.So the study result can truly reflect the integrality of earthquake catalog in Hohhot-Baotou area since 2001.

Abstract:Using the data of three strong aftershocks after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake recorded by Gansu strong motion stations,the free field acceleration attenuation in southern Gansu province are studied.The attenuation of Peak Ground Acceleration（PGA） with the epicentral distance follows the exponential law,and the forms of attenuation are parallel.However,the attenuation index of three strong aftershocks also has some differences.The condition of the strong motion stations has certain influence to ground motion intensity and frequency spectrum.So further research to get the universal attenuation law of strong earthquakes in southern Gansu province is needed.
