摘要
Seismic method is a necessary exploration method for detecting active faults buried directly beneath major cities in deep coverage area. Different array length must be adopted for different detecting depth. The Xiadian Fault is a seismogenic fault and related to the 1679 Sanhe-Pinggu earthquake (M=8.0).The deep and moderate-deep structural characteristics of the fault are revealed from the deep and moderate-deep seismic profiles across the fault. To research the activity of the fault away from the earthquake region, moderate-shallow seismic reflection detection experiment was developed with the working parameters as 5 m group interval, 15 m offset, 10 folds, 60 active receiving channels, single-ended spread shooting by Wacker source, and one point receiving by 40 Hz geophones.
