earthquake (MELTZNER et al. , 2006; CHLIEH et al. , 2007) that
occurred at 0:58:53 GMT, 7:58:53 LT (USGS) (t ). The epicenter was
located at 3. 3 N, 95. 8 E (Fig. 1) with a focal depth of EQ
approximately 30 km. The earthquake was responsible for a sudden
fault slip estimated on average from 12-15 m (SYNOLAKIS et al. ,
2005; LAY et al. , 2005) to 20 m (FU and SUN, 30 2006). The seismic
