EARTHQUAKE ENVIRONMENTS AT MOGAO GROTTOES,DUNHUANG,CHINA
This paper describes fundamental settings of the Mogao Grottoes,Dunhuang against earthquake damage.The potential damage caused by an earthquake might be generally estimated by Intensity scale.Although the scale is defined differently by country to country,the intensity is related to human reaction and structural damages.Based upon a distribution graph of magnitude and epicentral distance or distance from faults,general effects to structures could be estimated as a preliminary base.Earthquake data from PCSeis(1606 to 2011) show little effects on the Mogao Grottoes.However,Sanwei Shan fault, which locates nearby the site,may cause a very big magnitude earthquake of M =8.The active fault is extended to the very near to the Grottoes,the Sanwei Shan fault is identified as to produce the most dangerous earthquake to Mogao Grottoes in the future.
