Abstract: Xingtai region is located in the south of north China plain belt, and the geological structure is complicated in this area. Based on the SAM method and data (2001-1—2014-12) from Hebei Seismic Network, the seismic anisotropy in Xingtai region is obtained. The average polarization of fast shear-wave is 73.9°±40.2°, and the average time delay of slow shear-wave is (2.74±1.54) ms/km. It is shown that the avaerge polarization of fast shear-wave is consistent with the regional maximum horizontal principal compressional stress. But because of the local faults, the polarization of fast shear-wave of some sites are NWW, more data is needed to explain the phenomenon.

Key words: Shear-wave splitting, Fast shear-wave splitting polarition, Slow shear-wave splitting, Xingtai region
