Preseismic and postseismic leveling data indicated the hanging wall of the Yingxiu-Beichuan-Nanba thrust fault mainly presented coseismic uplift with respect to the reference point at Pingwu county town, and the observed maximum uplift of 4.7 m is located at Beichuan county （Qushan town） which is about 100 m west of the fault scarp. The foot wall of the Yingxiu-Beichuan-Nanba thrust fault mainly showed subsidence with maximum subsidence of 0.6 m near the rupture. By employing a listric dislocation model, we found that the fault geometry model of exponential dip angle δ=88°×[1-exp（-9/h）] with depth of 18 km and uniform thrust-slip of 5.6 m could fit the observed coseismic vertical deformation very well, which verifies the listric thrust model of the Longmenshan orogenic zone.展开更多

Using the co_seismic displacement data, and constrained with surface rupture data, they invert co_seismic slip distribution along the seismic fault. Their result shows that the earthquake ruptured the upper crust down to a depth of 13.1～22km (at 70% certainty), with its optimal estimate at 16.5km. A 2～3m left_lateral strike slip is resolved between the Sun Lake segment and the west end of the main rupture zone, although surface rupture has not been observed there. The surface rupture of this earthquake is ended at the Sun Lake to the west, but left_lateral slip of 1.5～2.0m seems to exist beyond the east end of surface rupture observed from field geology. Seismic moment release estimated using GPS and surface rupture measurement is 6.0×10 20 N·m, which is in good agreement with the result obtained from seismic wave inversion.展开更多
