Response of a panel building to mining induced seismicity in Karvina area (Czech Republic)

Abstract

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