Simple models for determination of the differences of ground and building foundation response spectra in LGC region

Abstract

The paper deals with the transmission of mine-induced vibrations in the LGC region from the ground to the foundations of typical buildings. The simple, easy-to-use models have been proposed for the determination of the differences (relations) between ground and foundation acceleration response spectra. Experimentally obtained acceleration response spectra from vibrations occurring simultaneously on the ground near the building and the building foundation were the basis for the verification of the accuracy of the proposed models.
