The key idea for such analyses is to derive predictive models of complex earthquake slip distributions for future earthquakes that can be used for forward modelling of both tsunamis and strong motion.
The mainshock itself was omitted from the analysis as it has rather complex earthquake source rupture process that was studied in detail in other studies (e.g., Asano and Iwata 2016; Kubo et al. 2016; Kobayashi et al. 2017).
Although many results have been reported (e.g., Perevalova et al. 2014 and references therein) pertaining to the post-seismic ionospheric variations, this particular case study is new from the point of view of the complex earthquake fault mechanisms.
It has to be emphasized that the major and minor DC sources cannot be understood as two asperities of an activated fault system; the decomposition is merely mathematical description of a complex earthquake source.
Under the action of complex earthquake loads, the elastic-plastic local buckling of a concrete-filled steel tubular column will most likely occur in the steel tube, which is difficult to be simulated using the traditional fiber beam-column finite element model.
