Fault Rupture Process of the 20 September 1999 Chi - Chi , Taiwan , Earthquake
We modeled the source rupture process of the 20 September 1999 ChiChi, Taiwan, earthquake (Mw 7.6) using an integrated dataset of near-field strong ground motion and Global Positioning System observations. This large inland thrust earthquake produced a surface break more than 80 km long along the Chelungpu fault. The event triggered over 700 strong-motion instruments on the island of Taiwan. Th...
متن کاملFinite fault inversion of the September 25, 1999 (Mw = 6.4) Taiwan earthquake: Implications for GPS displacements of Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake sequence
[1] The September 25, 1999 Chi-Chi Taiwan aftershock (Mw=6.4) occurred on a down dip extension of the fault ruptured in the mainshock. Strong motion data were used to invert for the finite-source process and test for the causative fault plane. We performed a grid-search over a range of focal mechanisms and found a preferred model (strike=5 , dip=30 , slip=100 ) different from teleseismic studie...
متن کاملSlip history and dynamic implications of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake
[1] We investigate the rupture process of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake using extensive near-source observations, including three-component velocity waveforms at 36 strong motion stations and 119 GPS measurements. A three-plane fault geometry derived from our previous inversion using only static data [Ji et al., 2001] is applied. The slip amplitude, rake angle, rupture initiation time, a...
متن کاملDamage to Critical Facilities Following the 921 Chi-Chi,Taiwan Earthquake (1999-2000)
As part of research collaboration between MCEER and the National Center for Research in Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan, a team of MCEER/NCREE researchers undertook a reconnaissance mission shortly after the 921 Chi-Chi earthquake occurred in Taiwan at 1:47 a.m. on September 21, 1999. A major objective of this mission was to assess earthquake-induced damage, to document lessons learned...
متن کاملPostseismic deformation following the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake, Taiwan: Implication for lower-crust rheology
[1] On 1999 September 21, the Mw 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake ruptured a segment of the Chelungpu Fault, a frontal thrust fault of the Western Foothills of Taiwan. The stress perturbation induced by the rupture triggered a transient deformation across the island, which was well recorded by a wide network of continuously operating GPS stations. The analysis of more than ten years of these data reveals...
