Seismic acquisition and monitoring system can collect, store, analyze and dispose the rock burst seismic waves or the vibration of other objects. This paper utilizes single chip computer technology, virtual instrument technology, sensor technology, database management technology, wavelet analysis technology, combining the real condition of the mine microseismic signal to establish a set of mine...

With the large-scale construction and rapid development of underground engineering, a large number of underground engineering construction, such as tunnel and subway emerged. The geological structure of the tunnel is complex and the roc is fragmented. Tunnel seismic image is a new geophysical technique. This method has advantages such as high resolution, high reliability and obvious image chara...

This paper examines the possible causes of collapse of a primary school in San Giuliano, Italy, in the 2002 Molise earthquake, which killed 27 students and one teacher. It also considers the general sources of seismic vulnerability of school buildings in Italy prior to the introduction of new seismic zonation and new seismic codes in 2003. In addition to incomplete seismic zonation and inadequa...

This paper addresses acceptable life-safety risk within the context of riskmitigation decision-making. The gathering of risk information and risk-mitigation alternatives raises two questions: is a current level of risk acceptable, and if not, how does one determine if a particular mitigation measure is reasonable and prudent? A procedure is proposed for decision-makers to select among competing...

During last decades, worldwide researchers dedicated efforts to develop machine-based seismic Early Warning systems, aiming at reducing the huge human losses and economic damages. The elaboration time of seismic waveforms is to be reduced in order to increase the time interval available for the activation of safety measures. This paper suggests a Data Mining model able to correctly and quickly ...

Modern underground coal mining requires certainty about geological faults and other structural features for safety reasons. Even a fault with a throw of a few metres can create safety issues and lead to costly delays in mine production. To ensure there are no unwelcome surprises concerning seam conditions during mining, seismic reflection surveys have been widely used by Australian coal mines, ...

In this paper, a global limit state function for load-carrying capacity of structural system is firstly set up, in which the margin of safety is the difference between the limit base shear of structural system and the total horizontal seismic action. To probabilistically assess the global seismic capacity of structure, a new point estimation method (PEM) for analyzing statistical moments of com...
