Abstract:Based on the threshold value of earthquake warning parameters(characteristic period τc and displacement amplitude Pd),we use the seismic waveform data recorded by Inner Mongolia seismic network to study the estimation method of potential damage area of moderate strong earthquake in Inner Mongolia in this paper. According to certain screening conditions,the statistical relations between τc and ML,Pd and τc and epicentral distance R are fitted out. Then according to the maximum magnitude corresponding to the existing earthquake events,when the instrument intensity is set as IV and ML=5.0,the corresponding parameter thresholds are Pd=0.1075cm and τc=0.686s. Finally,two moderate strong earthquakes in Inner Mongolia in recent years are simulated. The results show that the relatively higher network density is required in application of this method. If the network can be evenly distributed,the effect will be better. Otherwise,the result is only determined by the empirical relationship,but the actual observations do not come into play.
