    Wstrz膮sy sejsmiczne, wywo艂ane nag艂ym odpr臋偶eniem ska艂 g贸rotworu w pobli偶u podziemnych wyrobisk g贸rniczych, stanowi膮 zagro偶enie dla ludzi pracuj膮cych pod ziemi膮. Propaguj膮ca fala sejsmiczna powoduje gwa艂towny wzrost obci膮偶e艅 dynamicznych, a te s膮 bezpo艣rednio zwi膮zane z wielko艣ci膮 drga艅 o艣rodka skalnego.

Jedn膮 z metod umo偶liwiaj膮cych prognozowanie parametr贸w drga艅 sejsmicznych od wstrz膮s贸w g贸rniczych jest Metoda Element贸w Spektralnych (SEM).

Obliczone sejsmogramy wykazuj膮 du偶膮 zgodno艣膰 z rzeczywistymi przebiegami falowymi, zarejstrowanymi w bliskiej odleg艂o艣ci od ogniska wstrz膮su.

The propagating seismic wave causes a rapid increase in the dynamic loads, which are directly related to the amount of rock vibration. Knowledge of the vibration parameters can be used in the assessment of the stability of underground excavations and allows for the proper selection of gallery support. One of the methods for forecasting seismic vibration parameters from mining tremors is the spectral element method (SEM). In this method, synthetic seismograms are calculated to image the full waveform. This article presents the results of modeling vibrations generated by a tremor with a magnitude of 2.7 on the Richter scale; this tremor occurred on April 17, 2018, in the KWK Piast-Ziemowit mine. The calculated seismograms show high compliance with the real waveforms recorded near the source of the tremor. This compliance indicates that the selected model parameters were correct and confirms the effectiveness of numerical methods to complement analytical methods in solving problems related to underground work safety

    Wstrz膮sy g贸rnicze od wielu lat towarzysz膮 eksploatacji w臋gla kamiennego w G贸rno艣l膮skim Zag艂臋biu W臋glowym w Polsce. Stanowi膮 one zagro偶enie dla ludzi pracuj膮cych pod ziemi膮, a tak偶e powoduj膮 uszkodzenia w obiektach budowlanych na powierzchni. Mo偶liwe jest prognozowanie drga艅 sejsmicznych od wstrz膮s贸w g贸rniczych przy zastosowaniu oblicze艅 numerycznych. Jedn膮 z takich metod jest Metoda Element贸w Spektralnych (SEM). W metodzie tej obliczane s膮 sejsmogramy syntetyczne, kt贸re umo偶liwiaj膮 obrazowanie pe艂nego przebiegu falowego. W obliczeniach przyjmuje si臋 z艂o偶ony mechanizm ogniska wstrz膮su poprzez zastosowanie tensora momentu sejsmicznego, kt贸ry w najlepszym stopniu oddaje uk艂ad si艂 w 藕r贸dle. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki modelowa艅 metod膮 SEM drga艅 gruntu od wstrz膮su o magnitudzie 3,8 w skali Richtera, kt贸ry wyst膮pi艂 w dniu 08.11.2018 na terenie kopalni Budryk. Wyniki modelowa艅 pokazuj膮, 偶e nawet je偶eli obliczone sejsmogramy syntetyczne nie w pe艂ni pokrywaj膮 si臋 z rzeczywistymi rejestracjami drga艅, to na ich podstawie mo偶liwe jest okre艣lanie szczytowych warto艣ci drga艅 sejsmicznych w dowolnym punkcie modelu. Metoda ta mo偶e wi臋c by膰, dobrym uzupe艂nieniem metod analitycznych, stosowanych do oceny zagro偶enia sejsmicznego od wstrz膮s贸w g贸rniczych.Mining tremors have been associated with the mining of hard coal in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin in Poland for many years. They pose a threat to people working underground, and also cause damage to construction facilities on the surface. It is possible to predict seismic vibrations from mining tremors using numerical calculations. One of such methods is the Spectral Element Method (SEM). In this method, synthetic seismograms which enable the imaging of the full waveform are calculated. A complex mechanism of the tremor source is assumed by applying the seismic moment tensor, which best reflects the balance of forces in the source. This paper presents the results of SEM modelling of ground motions of the tremor with magnitude of 3,8 on the Richter scale, which occurred on November 8, 2018 in the Budryk mine. The results of modelling show that even if the calculated synthetic seismograms do not fully correlate with real vibration registrations, it is possible to determine the peak values of seismic vibrations at any point in the model. This method can be a good complement to the analytical methods used to assess the seismic hazard caused by mining tremors

    The solutions presented permit the practical determination of the physical parameters of peak ground vibration, caused by strong mining tremors induced by mining, in the Polish part of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB). The parameters of peak ground horizontal velocity (PGVH) and peak ground horizontal acceleration (PGAH10) at any point of earth鈥檚 surface depend on seismic energy, epicentral distance and site effect. Distribution maps of PGVH and of PGAH10 parameters were charted for the period 2010-2019. Analysis of the results obtained indicates the occurrence of zones with increased values of these parameters. Based on the Mining Seismic Instrumental Intensity Scale (MSIIS-15), which is used to assess the degree of vibration intensity caused by seismic events induced by mining, and using the PGVH parameter, it was noted that the distribution map of this parameter includes zones where there vibration velocities of both 0.04 m/s and 0.06 m/s were exceeded. Vibrations with this level of PGVH correspond to intensities in the V and VI degree according to the MSIIS-2015 scale, which means that they can already cause slight structural damage to building objects and cause equipment to fall over. Moreover, the reason why the second parameter PGAH10 is less useful for the evaluation of the intensity of mining induced vibrations is explained. The PGAH10 vibration acceleration parameter, in turn, can be used to design construction of the objects in the seismic area of the Upper Silesian Coal Basin, where the highest acceleration reached a value of 2.8 m/s2 in the period from 2010 to 2019
