Abstract

Abstract. Sumatra is located near the place where the collision between Indo-Australian Plate and Eurasian Plate heppened. When Indo-Australian Plate moves below Eurasian Plate, the friction that occur between both plates causes the strain is being accumulated. The strain that exceeds the elastic limit will be released as an earthquake. GPS observation in Sumatra was conducted to analyse the velocity of vector displacement and the heterogenous of tectonic strain on the surface as one of the tectonic indication to earthquake mitigation in the future. The result from data processing shows vector displacement in Sumatra has northeast direction that indicate inter-seismic and southwest direction that indicate post-seismic. The strain distribution is extension that indicate post-seismic equally scatteres dominantly in zone where happened Aceh earthquake on 2004, Nias earthquake on 2005, Bengkulu on Sptember 12th 2007, and earthquake on Mentawai Island on September 13th 2007. While strain as compression shows Sumatera still has inter-seismic effect.Keywords: compression, earthquake, extension, GPS.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.5.2.137-160A detailed active fault study in Tarutung-Sarulla-Sipirok-Padangsidempuan was conducted based on their tectonic-morphological features using SRTM-30, 3D-visualization, and LIDAR data, combined with field and shallow geophysical surveys using the GPR method. Sumatran Fault Zone is bifurcated from the single major Sianok fault segment into two major branches: Angkola and Barumun-Toru Faults that run (sub) parallel to each other. In the studied area, they are merged gradually to become the Renun Fault. The total slip rates from Sianok to Renun segments are constant at about ~ 14 mm/year (13.8 ± 0.3 mm/yr on Renun and 13.7 ± 1.6 mm/yr on Sianok segments). In the bifurcation zone, it is partitioned into 9.3 ± 1.8 mm/yr slip on Toru, and about 4 - 5 mm/yr on Angkola segments. Based on field evidence supported by the seismicity and historical record, the Toru Fault appears to move continuously (creeping). This is crucial for understanding tectonics and its significance to hazard mitigations. Further investigations on Angkola and Toru Faults are crucial for mega installations of Sarulla Geothermal Power Plant, which is located in between Angkola and Toru Fault zones.

Abstract

The rupture processes of two sequentialearthquakes have been inverted from teleseismic data. The first event released a total seismic moment of 7.9×1018 Nm (Mw 6.5) and the slip distribution shows three asperities, 1.5 m at the shallowside, 0.7 m at the rightsouth-east deep side and 0.5 m atthe north-west deep side. The second event had one asperity with 1.7 m slip and released a seismic moment of 7.5×1018 Nm (Mw 6.5). In both cases, maximum slip occurred above the hypocenter which was responsible for the surface displacement pattern.

Abstract

This study investigated the correlation between fault kinematics, surficial displacement, and surface rupture geometry patterns between earthquake cycles using particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis of an analogue sandbox modeling that mimics InSAR observations. The research explored various fault systems, including reverse, normal, and strike-slip faults, through controlled sandbox experiments. The fault surface rupture zone manifests itself due to strain accumulation between two mobile blocks. The displacement magnitude is most pronounced on the surface and is absorbed by the section above the hanging wall or moving block. During fault surface rupture formation, the leading edge of the surface movement consistently extends beyond the anticipated fault surface rupture zone and retreats upon full fault surface rupture development. Subsequently, the distribution of the surface movement is sharply confined by the established fault surface rupture. The key findings of this study underscore the potential of PIV of sandbox modeling for studying fault surface rupture geometry and its development, providing insight into seismic processes. Overall, this work contributes to advancing our knowledge of seismic phenomena and improving strategies for earthquake prediction and mitigation.
