Response of a panel building to mining induced seismicity in Karvina

Abstract

A dynamic behaviour of technological structures and buildings under a non-stationary dynamic loading is investigatedby technical seismicity. The solution of this problem is based on field seismic measurements using a specific source of technicalseismicity induced by the mining activity in the area under study (Karviná region in the Czech Republic). Finite element models areprepared for computer analyses of seismic responses of measured structures. The twelve-storey panel residential building was selectedfor the seismic analysis as a representative structure.
