Abstract:In this paper, based on the analysing of horizontal remnant stress-strain fields near the Red River fault, the calculation of 2-D finite element method with six different tectonic stress directions, and other related data, the current stress field and the seismic danger areas are inferred. The results indicate that the current stress field in this area is very complex and shows regionalized features, but the dominant direction of principal compressive stress is nearly NS. The Yongsheng area. Jianchuan-Eryuan area, and the area surrounded by Dali. Xiaguan and Binchuan are coming seismic danger areas. When the principal compressive stress axis rotates toward northwest, the Yongping, Puer-Simo, Eshan, Shiping, and Tonghai are as will become seismic danger areas.
