Abstract
This paper deals with some characteristics of the stress field around the block-segments of faults immediately before strong shock waves take place. Analytic results show that the main additional stresses are all directed at the block-segments of faults with the exception of some narrow areas. This has been confirmed by data on the stresses measured a number of times immediately before some strong shocks. Thus, dangerous zones of strong earthquakes can be determined if precise measurements of ground stresses are available.
