The finite-fault modelling of the 23 October 2011 Van earthquake using teleseismic broadband body waveforms has shown that the earthquake occured as a result of reverse faulting and its rupture propogated unilaterally toward SW. The rupture confined to below the depth of 5 km, covering a fault area of 25 km by 16 km with a peak slip of about 5.5 m and it lasted for about 11 s. The total seismic moment calculated for the finite-fault model is 4.6 x1019Nm (Mw=7.1), most of which was released in between 5-9 s after the rupture initiation. The finite-fault analysis suggests a rise-time of 3 s for the largest slip area. Teleseismic point source modelling of the three large aftershocks suggests that these aftershocks have both reverse and strike-slip source mechanisms and it also confirmed that the 9 November 2011 aftershock occurred on a different fault. Stress tensor inversion analysis using earthquake focal mechanisms in the Lake Van area with and without the 2011 Van earthquake aftershocks suggested that the stress regime in the area is mainly strike-slip with compression stress axis extending nearly in NS direction. The 2011 Van earthquake is the first large earthquake M.Utkucue-posta: [e-mail]

 23 Ekim 2011 Van (Doğu Anadolu) Depremi'nin (Mw=7.1) Sismotektonik Özellikleri

Öz

23 Ekim 2011 Van depreminin geniş bant uzak-alan cisim dalga şekillerinin sonlu-fay modellemesi deprem kırılmasının ters faylanma olduğunu ve tek taraflı olarak GB’ya yayıldığını göstermiştir. Kırılma 5 km altında kısıtlı kalmış, yaklaşık 5.5 m en büyük kayma ile 25 x 16 km’lik bir fay alanını örtmüş ve yaklaşık 11 sn sürmüştür. Sonlu-fay modeli için hesaplanan sismik moment 4.6 x1019 Nm (Mw=7.1) olup çoğunluğu kırılma başlangıcından sonraki 5-9 sn zaman aralığında serbestlenmiştir. Sonlu-fay analizi en büyük kayma alanı için 3 sn’lik bir yükselim zamanı önermektedir. 2011 Van depreminin 3 büyük artçı depreminin uzak-alan nokta kaynak modellemesi bu artçı depremlerin hem ters hem de doğrultu atımlı faylanma mekanizmalarına sahip olduğunu göstermiş, 9 Kasım 2011 artçı depreminin ana şoktan farklı bir fay üzerinde meydana geldiğini doğrulamıştır. 2011 Van depremi artçı depremlerini içererek ve içermeden yapılan Van Gölü bölgesindeki deprem odak mekanizmalarının gerilme tensör analizleri bölgede gerilme rejiminin doğrultu-atımlı olduğunu ve sıkışma gerilmesi ekseninin yaklaşık K-G doğrultusunda uzandığını belirtmiştir. 2011 Van depremi Doğu Anadolu’da aletsel dönemde hemen hemen tamamıyla ters faylanmalı olarak meydana gelmiş ilk büyük deprem olup bölgede yaygın olarak gözlenen doğrultu atımlı faylanmaların yanısıra ters faylanmalarında meydana gelebileceğini kanıtlamıştır
