1.The 2009 L’Aquila earthquake (M w 6.1) occurred in the Central Apennines (Italy) on April 6 th at the 01:32 UTC and caused nearly 300 casualties and heavy damages in the L’Aquila town and in several villages nearby. 2.The main shock ruptured a normal fault striking along the Apennine axis and dipping at nearly 50° to the SW. Most of the aftershocks are also associated with normal faulting, which is consistent with the present-day tectonic setting of this sector of the Apennines L’Aquila (central Italy) Earthquake, M w =6.1 NERA Project- JRA3 (WP13) : INGV, Roma, May 2011

 We investigate the rupture history of the 2009 L’Aquila (Central Italy) earthquake using a nonlinear inversion of strong motion, GPS and DInSAR data.  Both the separate and joint inversions reveal a complex rupture history and a heterogeneous slip distribution characterized by a shallow slip patch located up-dip from the hypocenter and a large, deeper patch located southeastward.  The rupture history is characterized by two distinct phases: a rupture initiation with a modest moment release lasting nearly 0.5 sec, followed by a sharp increase in slip velocity and rupture speed (4.0 km/s) located 2 km up-dip from the hypocenter and a second stage (starting 2.0 sec after the nucleation) characterized by a slower along strike rupture propagation and the failure of the deep larger slip patch.  The up-dip and along-strike rupture propagations are separated in time and associated with two distinct rupture modes: Mode II and Mode III, respectively. Conclusions NERA Project- JRA3 (WP13) : INGV, Roma, May 2011

 Our rupture model confirms the evident along strike directivity ( Pino&Di Luccio (2009), Akinci&al (2010)) and it also reveals an initial up-dip directivity that lasted for nearly 2sec and likely affected the ground motion observed in the L’Aquila town;  Our results show that the 2009 L’Aquila mainshock featured a very complex rupture history for a moderate M w 6.1, with strong spatial and temporal heterogeneities suggesting a strong frictional properties’ control of the rupture process.
