In seismology an earthquake source is described in terms of a fault with a particular rupture size. The faulting process of large earthquakes has been investigated in the last two decades through analyses of long-period seismo grams produced by advanced digital seismometry. By long-period far-field approximation, the earthquake source has been represented by physical parameters such as s~ismic moment, fault dimension and earthquake mag nitude. Meanwhile, destruction often results from strong ground motion due to large earthquakes at short distances. Since periods of strong ground motion are far shorter than those of seismic waves at teleseismic distances, the theory of long-period source process of earthquakes cannot be applied directly to strong ground motion at short distances. The excitation and propagation of high-frequency seismic waves are of special interest in recent earthquake seismology. In particular, the descrip tion and simulation of strong ground motion are very important not only for problems directly relevant to earthquake engineering, but also to the frac ture mechanics of earthquake faulting. Understanding of earthquake sources has been developed by investigating the complexity of faulting processes for the case of large earthquakes. Laboratory results on rock failures have also advanced the understanding of faulting mechanisms. Various attempts have been made to simulate, theoretically and empirically, the propagation of short-period seismic waves in the heterogeneous real earth.

The short seismologic and historic records, in combination with the long recurrence intervals between potentially damaging earthquakes, create a need for developing geologic methods as alternatives or supplements to seismologic methods of establishing design earthquakes. The main goal of this report is to review geologic methods of determining the maximum probable earthquakes for active faults based on empirical relationships between magnitude, length of surface faulting, maximum fault displacement, and combinations of fault length and maximum displacement.

Our understanding of earthquakes and faulting processes has developed significantly since publication of the successful first edition of this book in 1990. This revised edition, first published in 2002, was therefore thoroughly up-dated whilst maintaining and developing the two major themes of the first edition. The first of these themes is the connection between fault and earthquake mechanics, including fault scaling laws, the nature of fault populations, and how these result from the processes of fault growth and interaction. The second major theme is the central role of the rate-state friction laws in earthquake mechanics, which provide a unifying framework within which a wide range of faulting phenomena can be interpreted. With the inclusion of two chapters explaining brittle fracture and rock friction from first principles, this book is written at a level which will appeal to graduate students and research scientists in the fields of seismology, physics, geology, geodesy and rock mechanics.

"Earthquakes of engineering interest are normally considered to result only from slippage or movement along existing faults. Hence, the detection of existing faults and their assessment as active or inactive constitutes an essential aspect of earthquake design. Some faults in soft sediments, through active, may not have the capability of generating earthquakes and must be so interpreted. Active faults generally may be evaluated for their maximum capacity to generate earthquakes through a synthesis of the local geologic and seismic history and worldwide relationships between fault dimensions earthquakes. Major earthquakes are caused by slippage along large faults, which are unlikely to be missed in detailed geologic investigations for sites in western United States. This may not be the case in the central and eastern United States. Small faults may be missed in any investigation so that a floating earthquake of limited size must be assumed to account for them. When faulting is not manifest at the surface, seismic history and geologic investigations can define geographic limits or zones for which floating earthquakes of various sizes are assigned"--Page ix.

On 17th January 1995 an inland earthquake of 7.2 magnitude occurred under Kobe city in central Japan. More than 5,500 people lost their lives. There was immense and serious damage to buildings. Researchers and engineers were shocked and astonished by the extent of the devastation and loss of life. Ground motions, generated by the event were far greater than the seismic standard for earthquake-proof designs in Japan. Recent academic progress in the fields of geology and geophysics, which would help to reduce the severity of seismic disasters, has not been sufficiently applied to the development of earthquake-proof designs. This book contains 13 original and innovative papers of interdisciplinary study spanning earthquake-proof technology and active fault science (seven of the papers cover topics concerning the 1995 Kobe earthquake).
