Such strong ground motions may cause serious damages in civil infrastructure in the vicinity of mines. However any adaptation of a classic seismic code in design faces an impending problem of differences in spectral content and duration between the surface records of the rockbursts and natural earthquakes, as well as in their different risk definitions. This paper presents a system to define design seismic load based on forecasted surface horizontal particle velocity from the rockbursts expected during the planned mining activities. Such forecasts are routinely prepared by the geophysical mine services. Respective seismic load may then be applied in the design of buildings and other structures to mitigate the rockburst induced seismic effects on them. For this purpose the European seismic code, Eurocode 8, is adapted. date: 2015-02 date_type: published publication: International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences volume: 74 publisher: Elsevier Science pagerange: 81-90 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.ijrmms.2015.01.004 issn: 1365-1609 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijrmms.2015.01.004 access_IS-EPOS: unlimited owner: Publisher citation: Zembaty, Zbigniew and Kokot, Seweryn and Bozzoni, Francesca and Scandella, Laura and Lai, Carlo G. and Kuś, Juliusz and Bobra, Piotr (2015) A system to mitigate deep mine tremor effects in the design of civil infrastructure.
