Slip distribution model has been developed for 15 th January 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake of M w 8.1 has been developed through stochastic model. The spatial variability of slip on the rupture plane is simulated as a random field with correlation lengths depending on the magnitude of the earthquake. The source dimensions have been computed from the scaling laws of Wells and Coppersmith (1994) and Mai and Beroza (2000). The slip distribution has been obtained from spectral synthesis method of Iguzquiza and Olma (1993) for both the source dimension. The slip distribution of each of the 5 samples has been shown in form of contour plots. The average slip estimated using different source dimension from WC and MB are 8.15 m and 12.96 m respectively. The simulated slip models developed can be used to simulate the displacement time histories of the 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake which can be used in seismic hazard studies in future
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
