Based on the latest result in research on 3D seismic wave velocity structure of crust and uppermost mantle and taking geological setting and fracture zones into consideration, a 3D geological model for the studied region is built up. The boundary constraint and force loading boundary condition for the model are determined according to the characteristics of crustal stress field deduced from earthquake focal mechanism and in-situ stress measurement data. Using linear elastic material model a 3D finite element modeling is conducted to study the characteristics of crustal stress field. A comparison analysis between the simulated stress field and earthquake locations reveals that the moderate and strong earthquakes generally occurred in the zones with high shear stress gradient. Furthermore, the paper notices a few potential earthquake-prone regions.
