The existence of aftershocks in an earthquake sequence can impact the analysis of the mainshock. In this study, we present a method for deleting an aftershock sequence based on the spatial relationship between earthquakes and faults. This method improves the performance of space window selection in the classical K-K method by eliminating aftershocks with an ideal fault buffer zone. The determination of fault buffer zones is based on a trial-and-error analysis of 69,714 earthquake records from the China Seismic Network Center (CENC) collected between 1980 and 2020. We selected 20 typical big earthquakes (ML7.0–8.0 or ~Ms6.6–8.0; for earthquakes above magnitude Ms7 or ML7.2, ML is approximately equal to Ms) as the mainshocks to establish the fault buffer zones. We also propose an empirical formula to determine the distance of the fault buffer zone by counting the aftershock deletion effect at different buffer distances. Compared with the classical K-K method, our method considers the correlation between the spatial distribution of aftershocks and faults, eliminates earthquake groups that are not related to the mainshock, greatly reduces the spatial range of aftershocks, improves the performance of deleting aftershocks of different magnitudes, and provides a new rule and reference for aftershock deletion.
