We collected seismic records of 228 ML≥1.0 Jiujiang-Ruichang MS5.7 earthquake sequence from Dec.26, 2005 to Jun. 30, 2006. By using double-difference method combined with waveform cross-correlation, those earthquakes were relocated and finally the accurate source parameters of 224 earthquakes were obtained. The errors are about 0. 5km in horizontal and less than 2km in vertical direction, respectively. It was found that the depth of earthquake sequence concentrates in 8~14km range, and the epicenters are distributed along both NW and NE direction, and dominantly along NW direction. Combined with the focal mechanism, the distribution direction and the tectonic setting, we infer that the rupture of the NW-trending fault caused the MS5. 7 main shock, and then the rupture probably encountered an asperity and triggered the MS4. 8 strong aftershock. The NE-trending fault came into a seismically quiet period by stress adjustment in a short time, while the NW-trending fault released stress for a long time which caused a series of aftershocks. The MS5. 7 main shock is caused by the NW striking Yangjisshan-Wushan-Tongjiangling Fault and the MS4. 8 aftershock occurred on the NE striking Liujia-Fanjiapu-Chengmenshan Fault.

Based on the establishment of the intensity attenuation relation of Jiangxi Province and its adjacent areas by analyzing isoseismic line data,we develop the attenuation relations for horizontal peak ground acceleration and response spectrum of the areas by selecting the west of USA as the reference region and using the transforming method.In comparison with the seismic motion attenuation relation of eastern China,the result better represents the features of historic and modern earthquake damage distribution in the area,and may contribute to seismic safety evaluation,earthquake damage prediction and fast loss assessment.

The MS 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake and its 2216 aftershocks were relocated using the double difference algorithm.The horizontal and vertical errors of the 2061 relocated hypocenters are approximately 1~2km and 2~3km,respectively.The epicenter of main shock is approximately 31.00°N,103.38°E,the focal depth is about 13km and the seismogenic structure is the central fault of Longmenshan Fault zone.The total length of spatial distribution of aftershocks along the strike of the fault is about 330km and the predominance distribution of focal depth is 3~20km,which shows obviously the characteristic of segmented activity.The seismicity of the southern part mainly concentrates on the central fault of Longmenshan Fault zone,and some earthquakes occurred on the range-front and range-back faults;the dip of the three faults seems to become gentler gradually from west to east,forming imbricate ruptures.The central fault and Pingwu-Qingchuan Fault of the Longmenshan Fault zone are involved in the seismogenic process,and the seismic rupture is both of thrust napping and right-lateral strike-slipping.
