Investigations on the aftershock sequence of the great Assam earthquake of August 15, 1950

The strain release curve of the aftershock sequence of
 the great Assam earthquake of August 15, 1950 exhibits three linear segments.
 A secondary aftershock sequence has also been reported; the strain
 release curve in this case is also linear. The b value, using the maximum...

 A secondary aftershock sequence has also been reported; the strain

 likelihood method of Utsu, for the sequence is 0.52 ± 0.095. The fault plane
 solution shows that the fault strikes almost cast-west and dips northward
 at an angle of 80°; the motion is predominently strike slip (right lateral
 type). The spatial distribution of aftershocks shows two main centers of
 activity at the two ends of the probable fault.http://www.annalsofgeophysics.eu/index.php/annals/article/view/4923
