Abstract
Mining shocks are dynamic phenomenon induced by underground and surface mining activities. In Poland, human activity generates rockbursts. They are the most intense so-called paraseismic sources. They refer to exploration of copper ore, hard and brown coal, gold, diamonds, non-ferrous metals and also originating from pile driving, driving sealed walls, and car, train, tram traffic and subway traffic. The mining-related surface vibrations can not only cause significant damage to buildings but they can also have a negative influence on people-occupied buildings. In Poland, mining tremors referring to hard coal and copper ore exploration occur at the Upper Silesian Coalfield (USC) and the Legnicko–Głogowski Copper District (LGCD), respectively. Rockbursts are not subject to human control, and they are random events concerning time, place of occurrence, and magnitude. There are many significant differences between earthquakes and mining tremors. The significant differences are magnitude, intensive phase of duration, peak ground accelerations (PGA), the range of predominant frequencies, frequency of occurrence, and depth of hypocenter. Mining-related vibrations stand out by having the highest intensity of all forms of paraseismic vibrations. It is, therefore, essential to assess the impact of this type of vibration on buildings and occupants. The study concerns impact evaluation of surface mining-related vibrations on occupants of dwelling masonry buildings using: (a) the RMS method according to British and Polish standards and (b) new version of empirical-measurement scale GSIS-2017. This scale is the base for estimating the level of vibration intensity. Intensity levels correspond to the effects of vibrations on people.
