Mechanical Properties, Slip and Nucleation of the 1999 Chia-Yi Earthquake: the Question of Static Stress Influence from the 1999 Chi-Chi Earthquake

We investigate the effects of static stress transfer from the 1999 Chi-Chi Taiwan earthquake to the subsequent Chia-Yi earthquake by using Coulomb failure assumptions. Our results provide substantive evidence that changes in normal stress unclamped the Chia-Yi rupture surface but that changes in she...
