lie near-by and along the Sagaing Fault. The recent one is the M w 6.8, Thabeikkyin earthquake, 11 Nov 2012, which claimed strike slip fault. The Sagaing Fault is a major tectonic structure between the Indian Plate and Sunda Plate. The segments are labeled right of the figure, after Wang [2013]. 1984). The Sagaing fault is a continental transform fault between the India and Sunda plates that connects spreading centers in the Andaman Sea and the continental convergence zone along the Himalayan front. The Sagaing fault (Figure 13) is a continental transform fault ~1200 km long that accommodates right-lateral motion between the India and Sunda plates. 1979; Bird 2003; Curray 2005). In the area to the north of Sagaing, fault-parallel ridges, alluvial fans, sag ponds, scarp lines, fault furrows, offset streams, a lowland plain hosting a lacustrine basin, river terraces and elevated flat-surfaces are the striking geomorphic features adjacent to the Sagaing Fault. 1a; Curray et al. The Sagaing Fault (SF), an active right‐lateral strike‐slip fault passing through Myanmar, has been being the source of serious seismic damage of the country.

There are significant historical earthquakes along the Sagaing Fault. [1] Relocation of six M (magnitude) ≥ 7.0 earthquakes near the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar since 1918 allows us to image earthquake history along the Sagaing Fault. The fault measures 1200 km along northesouth and cuts through the centre of Myanmar. It connects spreading centers in the Andaman Sea and a continental convergence zone along the Himalayan front (Figure 6). As a result, Myanmar has established a continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) network across the Sagaing Fault since 2011. Therefore MEC, MGS and MES implemented to develop the seismic hazard maps and risk maps of Sagaingthe United Nations , with the aids of Development Programs (UNDP). Most of the major cities in Myanmar as Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Bago, Sagaing, Taungoo, Meiktila, etc. Inset shows study area at regional scale. MYANMAR SAGAING FAULT 1. The cGPS All the earthquakes were relocated on the Sagaing Fault by using the modified joint hypocenter determination method. The fault is the principal right-lateral boundary between the Sunda and Burma plates (Curray et al. Combining the relocated epicenters with information on foreshocks, aftershocks, seismic intensities, and … Portions of the Sagaing Fault ruptured during large Many urban areas lie along the fault. Sagaing Fault. Moreover, new projects and building of infrastructures construction construction are continuing. 1979; Le Dain et al. The Sagaing fault is one of the great strike-slip faults of Southeast Asia, bisecting Myanmar from north to south (Fig. Abstract The Sagaing fault is a continental transform fault between the India and Sunda plates that connects spreading centers in the Andaman Sea and the continental convergence zone along the Himalayan front. Nay Pai Taw is the new capital of Myanmar, and Yangon is the largest and highest populated city of Myanmar. Average fault trend- N 9° W Depth-96km Velocity-18-25mm/yr Spreading in CAB - N29° W at a rate of 30mm/yr NW-SE oriented spreading and drifting of Burma plate along ridge segments in Gulf of Mottama Southern end of Sagaing Fault is northernmost of these oceanic transforms Offset-150km SAGAING FAULT Sagaing Fault is a major fault in Myanmar, a continental transform fault between the Indian plate and Sunda Plate that connects spreading centers in the Andaman Sea and the continental convergence zone along the Himalayan front. Thus, awareness of seismic hazard assessment of this region is of pivotal significance by taking into account the interaction and migration of earthquakes with respect to time and space.
