Short-Term and Impending Prediction of the Mar. 10, 2011, Ms5.8, Yingjiang Earthquake, Yunnan Province
摘要
Collecting the firsthand seismic data before and after the MS5.8 Yingjiang earthquake in Yunnan Province in 2011, the authors systematically analyze the seismo-geological background, the main characteristics of the sequence, the seismic intensity, the seismogenic fault of the Yingjiang earthquake as well as the regional stress field in the earthquake-stricken area. Particularly, by tracking the earthquake force scale, shear stress, h-value of earthquake sequence, time-to-failure and seismic energy, the authors conduct a short-term and impending earthquake and prediction 3 months before Yingjiang earthquake.The Dayingjiang fault, which is NE-trending, left-lateral and strike-slip, is most likely the seismogenic fault of this earthquake.
