| Research Abstract |
To monitor both normal and shear strain on the fault where an M3 event is expected, an Ishii's borehole strainmeter and a 24-bit 25-Hz continuous data acquisition system were installed several meters from the fault underground in a gold mine in South Africa. Together with an accelerogram monitoring system with a dynamic range of 132 db and a sampling frequency of 15 kHz, in the last financial year, we got ready to monitor a whole life of an earthquake with good resolution and without clipping. However, the monitoring was postponed until this financial year because it took time to recover from an underground fire and a big tremor. Though we had to wait until the last September, we could make preliminary analysis of strain recordings after the last September using a data analysis software XMTS.We found that the observed earth tide had good agreement with that theoretically estimated, indicating that the strainmeter potentially detect as subtle changes as 10^<-9>, as originally designed. We are waiting for the start of mining, after which we expect to reveal a whole seismogenic processes, beginning with accumulation of stress followed by nucleation after a peak strength, together with a slip weakening or such post seismic effects as strength recovery.
