【摘要】 2014年10月《地球物理学报》出版的陶玮等(2014)"紫坪铺水库造成孔隙弹性耦合变化及其对2008年汶川地震触发作用"一文基于完全耦合孔隙弹性理论,采用二维有限单元法模拟了紫坪铺水库蓄水造成的库区应力场和孔隙压力场的变化.该文模拟计算原则和思路是正确的,但仍然采用二维模型是一个不足.真实三维模型中水库是有限的一定面积内的载荷;而二维计算模型,却把水库载荷作为无限长的带状载荷,夸大了水库的作用.如果考虑三维模型,该研究得到的震源处库仑应力增长2~25kPa的结论可能只能解读为0.7~8.0kPa.对于紫坪铺水库是否对汶川地震有触发作用,目前各个研究组估计的库仑应力变化恰好处在是否可以触发的边缘.取得进一步认识的关键有赖于对地下结构、状态和物性认识的突破性进展.更多还原

【Abstract】 The paper titled "Triggering effect of the Zipingpu Reservoir on the 2008 Mw7.9Wenchuan,China,Earthquake due to poroelastic coupling"by Tao et al.(2014),simulated the evolution of the pore pressure and stress changes due to the impoundment of Zipingpu reservoir using 2Dfinite element method,which is based on the fully coupled poroelastic theory.It is deficient to use 2D model,even though the principle and idea is correct.Actually,the load of reservoir is located within a certain area in 3D model.While,the 2D model means taking infinite linear loads instead of surface load,which may exaggerate the loading effect of reservoir.Whenconsidering the 3D,the result of the change of Coulomb failure stress of the hypocenter may be0.7~8.0kPa instead of the 2~25kPa.Now,as for whether the Zipingpu Reservoir trigger the occurrence of Wenchuan Earthquake,the value of the Coulomb failure stress change calculated by each research group is just still on the edge of triggering.The keys to achieve further understanding depends on the more information of structure,state,and physical properties of the crust.更多还原
