Previous issue date: 2017-08-18 / A regi?o s?smica estudada se localiza no munic?pio de Irau?uba, Cear? (CE), localizado na Prov?ncia Borborema, sendo uma das regi?es mais sismicamente ativas do Brasil. A atividade s?smica do Nordeste do Brasil ? bastante observada devido a muitos eventos que ocorreram na regi?o por v?rios anos, com repeti??es em algumas ?reas, que s?o conhecidas como ?reas ativas. Muitos destes eventos s?o percebidos pelas popula??es das ?reas onde ocorrem, pois apesar deles n?o atingirem grandes magnitudes, chegam a assustar a popula??o. Em alguns casos at? acarretam pequenos danos em casas, tais como pequenas trincas nas paredes e deslocamento de telhas. Um desses exemplos desta atividade s?smica ? a que ocorre na cidade de Irau?uba, localizada na por??o Noroeste do estado do Cear?, a 175 km de sua capital, Fortaleza. A atividade s?smica em Irau?uba ? conhecida e estudada desde 1991, onde ocorreram v?rios tremores ao sul, na localidade de Ju?, distrito de Irau?uba. Nesta regi?o, o maior tremor atingiu 4,9 mb, s? superada no Cear? pelo tremor de Pacajus de 1980 (5.2 mb). Uma nova intensa atividade s?smica iniciou-se em 9 de setembro de 2015, e perdurou at? o in?cio de mar?o de 2016, quando foram registrados mais de 500 tremores. Desta vez, o maior de intensidade observada foi de IV (MM), com a magnitude m?xima observada de 3,8 mb. Este trabalho ? decorrente da an?lise dos dados coletados na campanha realizada no per?odo de setembro de 2015 at? o in?cio de mar?o de 2016. Nesta campanha, foram utilizadas sete esta??es sismogr?ficas digitais, sendo seis compostas por aceler?grafos a tr?s componentes e uma esta??o, com um conjunto de tr?s sism?metros de per?odo curto (um vertical e dois horizontais). Os dados registrados por elas foram analisados, objetivando a determina??o de hipocentros e dos mecanismos focais. Foram analisados 294 eventos s?smicos, registrados em pelo menos quatro esta??es, utilizando o programa COMPASS. Na determina??o hipocentral, foi utilizado o programa HYPO71, utilizando-se um modelo de semiespa?o, com os seguintes par?metros: velocidade de onda P (Vp) de 6,20 km/s e raz?o Vp/Vs de 1.69. Todos os eventos detectados em pelo menos quatro esta??es, com res?duo de tempo menor que 0,01 s e erros horizontais e verticais menores que 0,01 km, num total de 69 eventos, possuem um alinhamento N-NW e revelam uma zona ativa de aproximadamente 2 km de extens?o e profundidade variando de 8 a 9 km. Dentre os 69 eventos selecionados foram escolhidos 22 mais bem localizados para determina??o do plano de falha a partir dos hipocentros, obtendo-se os valores do mecanismo focal composto, realizado com aux?lio do programa FPFIT. Os par?metros da falha sismog?nica foram obtidos pela combina??o do m?todo dos m?nimos quadrados e do programa FPFIT (dire??o = 45?, mergulho = 52? e o rejeito total = -151?), confirmando a orienta??o da falha na dire??o NNW-SSE, com movimento normal. Os epicentros e o mecanismo focal n?o parecem indicar que haja correla??o com estruturas mapeadas at? agora em superf?cie. / The studied region is located in the municipality of Irau?uba, Cear?, in the Borborema Province and it is one of the most active seismic regions of Brazil. The seismic activity of the Northeast of Brazil is well observed by several events that have occurred in the region for many years, with repetitions in some areas that are known as active areas. Many of these events are perceived by population of the areas where they occur, because even if these events do not reach great magnitudes, they may frighten natives. In some cases, they even cause small damages in houses such as small cracks in the walls and displacement of tiles. One example of this kind of seismic activity is the one that occurs in the Irau?uba city, located in the northwestern portion of the Cear? state, 175 km from its capital, Fortaleza. The seismic activity in Irau?uba is known and studied since 1991, when several tremors occurred in the south, in the Ju? city, district of Irau?uba. In this region, the biggest tremor reached 4.9 mb of magnitude, surpassed only in Cear? by the tremor in Pacajus in 1980 (5.2 mb). A new intense seismic activity began in September 9, 2015, and it lasted until the beginning of March, 2016, when more than 500 tremors were registered, but this time the highest intensity IV (MM) was observed, with maximum observed magnitude of 3.8 Mb for this period. This master thesis deals with the analysis of collected data in the performed campaign in the period from October, 2015 to the beginning of March, 2016. In this campaign, seven digital seismographic stations were used, of which six were composed of accelerometers in three components, and one was composed of a set of three short period seismometers (one vertical and two horizontal). The data recorded by these stations were analyzed, with the objective of the determination of hypocenters and focal mechanisms. 294 seismic events were analyzed, recorded by at least four stations, using the Compass software. In the determination, the HYPO71 software was used to determine the hypocenters, using a semi-space model with the following parameters: P wave velocity (Vp) of 6.20 km/s and Vp/Vs ratio of 1.69. All events were detected at least by four stations, with time residue less than 0.01 s and horizontal and vertical errors less than 0.1 km. A total of 69 events have a N-NW alignment and revealed an active zone of approximately 2 km of extension and depth varying from 8 to 9 km. For a set of 23 tremors more well located, a fault plan was determined from the hypocenters, and values of a composite focal mechanism were obtained, performed with the aid of the FPFIT software. It was done for a set of data, fixing the fault plan. The parameters of the seismogenic fault were obtained by the combination of the least squares method and the FPFIT software (strike = 45?, dip = 52? e o rake = -151?), confirming the orientation of the fault in the direction N-NW, with normal movement. The epicenters and the focal mechanism do not seem to indicate that there is correlation with so far mapped structures in surface.
