Abstract
Kinematic loads resulting from earthquakes or human induced events can act on engineering structures. Poland is not an active seismic region. In south part of Poland there are located quarries and mines. Surface and underground exploitation of mineral resources results in regional seismic phenomena. Seismic waves originating from these phenomena are travelling towards surface and in form of surface wave can impact the structures. Mining-related surface vibrations show a lot of similarities with earthquakes but also some differences. In previous years the main load used in design procedure of buildings in mining regions in Poland were dead and live load, technology load and gusts of wind. The structures were not designed to dynamic loads resulting from mining-related vibrations of ground. Dynamic loads acting on buildings result in extra inertia forces which load those structures. This specially concerns to residential masonry objects which present group of structures frequently occurring in mining areas. In many cases, these buildings are characterized by irregularities in their construction, and this significantly reduces their dynamic resistance. The paper presents the selected problems of analyzing selected masonry building with irregularities in structure using finite element method (FEM). The analysis relates to dynamic effects caused by surface vibrations. The selected problems with assuming the kinematic excitations and soil-structure interaction are presented as well as some aspects of constitutive modelling of masonry structures. The paper also includes comparison of earthquakes and mining-related tremors. The differences in frequency domain and significant duration of intensive phase are also discussed.
