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 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...
متن کاملEvidence for fault lubrication during the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake (Mw7.6)
[1] The ground motion data of the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake exhibit a striking difference in frequency content between the north and south portions of the rupture zone. In the north, the ground motion is dominated by large lowfrequency displacements with relatively small high-frequency accelerations. The pattern is opposite in the south,with smaller displacements and larger accelerations...
