Ch 3: Characterization of the SFBR Earthquake Sources Working Group on California Earthquake Probabilities, 2002

Overview  Fault Segmentation  Rupture Sources & Scenarios  Geologic Slip Rates  Previous Earthquakes  Fault Area

Area covered by report

Fault Segments  the shortest section considered capable of repeatedly rupturing to produce large earthquakes  criteria: kinematic & dynamic  kinematic: geometry, structure  dynamic: rupture length, displacement of previous eqs, timing, changes in slip/creep rates, microearthquakes

Ruptures  rupture source: single or combination of adjacent fault segments; floating eq  rupture scenario: combination of rupture sources that describe mode of failure of the entire fault during one eq cycle  rupture model: weighted combinations of the fault-rupture scenarios

Hayward-Rogers Creek Segments  140 km long  3 segments: 9±2  RC: 8.4±2,  HN: 10±1,  HS: 7-10, N, 130±40 S Tule Pond  creep 4-6  change in timing constraint from previous reports
