We analyze the prediction effectiveness of seismic gaps before MS≥5 earthquakes in Gansu region from 1984 to 2023. The results show that seismic gaps in Gansu and its adjacent regions have an accuracy rate of 0.75, a false rate of 0.25, and a missing rate of 0.38 for forecasting moderate-strong earthquakes in Gansu. The R-value is 0.5, which exceeds the R0 value of 0.23 at the 97.5% confidence level. This demonstrates that seismic gaps have relatively good forecasting capability for moderate-strong earthquakes in Gansu. The mainshocks generally occurred inside the seismic gaps or near their edges, and the duration of these seismic gaps does not exceed 8 years. The number of broken and unbroken seismic gaps before mainshocks are comparable. The probability of the mainshock occurring within 1 year after the broken gap is about 89%, and about 67% within 4 months. There is no obvious correlation existed between the duration of seismic gap and the mainshock magnitude. However, there is a linear relationship between the minimum magnitude of seismic gap with initial magnitude of ML3.0~4.0, and the long axis of seismic gap has a good correlation with the mainshock magnitude. The seismic gap can be used as one of the important indicators for predicting moderate-strong earthquakes in western Qilian mountains, the southeastern part of eastern Qilian mountains and Minxian-Diebu section. It is also a significant indicator for predicting MS≥6 earthquakes in Gansu. The probability of two seismic gaps appearing before mainshock is very high, and the mainshock is most likely to occur within 4 months after the broken gap, located inside or near the overlapping region of the two seismic gaps.
