To achieve this goal, the most often-used hazard analysis procedure, which is based on the classical frequency-magnitude Gutenberg-Richter relation, as well as alternative procedures are investigated. Since the maximum regional seismic event magnitude m max is of paramount importance in seismic hazard analysis, this work provides a generic formula for the evaluation of this important parameter. The formula is capable of generating solutions in different forms, depending on the assumptions of the model of the magnitude distribution and/or the available information regarding past seismicity. It includes the cases (i) in which seismic event magnitudes are distributed according to the truncated frequency-magnitude Gutenberg-Richter relation, and (ii) in which no specific model of the magnitude distribution is assumed. Both synthetic, Monte-Carlo simulated seismic event catalogues, and actual data from the copper mine in Poland and gold mine in South Africa, are used to demonstrate the discussed hazard analysis techniques. Our studies show that the non-parametric technique, which is independent of the assumed model of the distribution of magnitude, provides an appropriate tool for seismic hazard assessment in mines where the magnitude distribution can be very complex. date: 2001 date_type: published publication: Pure and Applied Geophysics volume: 158 number: 9 publisher: Springer Verlag pagerange: 1655-1675 id_number: doi:10.1007/PL00001238 refereed: TRUE issn: 0033-4553 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/PL00001238 access_IS-EPOS: limited software_references: Seismic_Hazard_Assessment owner: Publisher citation: Kijko, Andrzej and Lasocki, Stanislaw and Graham, Gerhard (2001) Non-parametric Seismic Hazard in Mines.
