Shear-wave splitting in Tangshan region is studied by using digital seismic data.Analyzing 3-component digital seismic data in Tangshan strong ground motion array,it is found that almost all earthquakes occurred during 1982 to 1984 have significant shear-wave splitting.The polarization directions of faster shear waves in 7 stations are near EW,which are consistent with the axis of maximum principal compressive stress obtained from earthquake fault mechanisms and geodetic surveys.The crack densities of the 7 stations are roughly estimated,0.019 for TS01,TS02 and TS15,0.015 for TS03,TS07 and TS18 and 0.024 for TS19,by using the average time delay of slow shear-wave at the 7 stations.
