Abstract: Usually rockbursts from underground mining induce minor quakes of MM intensity up to V. Sometimes however the surface tremors reach level of MM epicentral intensityI0=VI to VIII. Since a fast industrial development often takes place in the mining areas then some seismic design rules for new buildings are needed. The main obstacle is then lack of respective design response spectrum and an unclear definition of the level of design acceleration to apply. Particularly the latter one is difficult to overcome because the rockburst ground motion records differ from natural earthquakes when it comes to their spectral properties as well as return periods. This paper presents a method how to rationally define the design acceleration so that a seismic code, e,g, Eurocode 8, can be applied in practical design procedures in the mining areas.

1 Introduction
There are many types of ground motion other than earthquakes: blasts from queries induce waves in the ground which radiate hundreds and thousands of meters away from the source,exciting building vibrations (see e.g. Dowding 1996; Khandelwal and Singh 2007), traffic vibrations excite buildings in the vicinity of roads or railways (e.g. Paolucci and Spinelli2006), rockbursts originating from deep mining or reservoir induced seismicity (Knoll 1992;Gibowicz and Kijko 1994) also produce ground motion. They occur randomly after large volumes of ground are excavated during reservoir construction. The strongest rockbursts from deep mining also occur randomly but sometimes may also be triggered purposely by special, initiating blasts.
Some of these motions may damage structures when they are unusually intensive. These from queries or surface mining are well studied and analyzed in the book by Dowding (1996).On the other hand large, deep mining rockburst effects are not as well studied, though they can be of much greater maximum intensity than the blast induced ground motion. The strongest rockbursts often reach magnitude ML = 4 and sometimes may even exceed ML = 5. These strongest rockbursts are listed among natural earthquakes by USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Denver (http://neic.usgs.gov) and are subject of careful analyses to differentiate them from underground nuclear explosions (see e.g. Pomeroy et al. 1982). Such magnitude with the focal depth of 1–2km may lead to epicentral intensities of MM VI to VIII. Since the vicinity of deep underground mines is often a place of intensive construction activities the problem of assessing seismic risk (see e.g. Van Eck et al. 2006) and mitigating these effects on civil engineering structures becomes important. Seismic codes (e.g. Eurocode8, 2005) are devoted to natural earthquakes which differ in many respects from rockburst ground motion.
This paper proposes a simple method to modify the Eurocode 8 approach to include rockburst quakes, so that a rational seismic load can be defined for civil engineering purposes.The main problem is the definition of the so called design acceleration. Deep mining and the assocated return period of the extreme tremors, used in the analyses of rockbursts, differs substantially from earthquakes which makes it impossible to use the same probabilistic approach as for the classic seismic risk analyses. Thus the main purpose of this paper is to present a method of assigning level of design acceleration for rockbursts which would be consistent with seismic code earthquake intensity level. The approach to modify Eurocode 8is described in detail.
2 Rockbursts and measures of their intensity on the ground surface
There are various mechanisms of rockbursts. Generally they occur when accumulated stress from advancing mine activity, fractures rock mass. It is possible that the strongest rockbursts, which are of primary interest in this paper, are minor earthquakes induced on nearby fault by extensive mining activity. See Johnston (1992) or the monograph by Gibowicz and Kijko (1994) for explanations of the rockburst origin in technological and seismological terms. Others have compared ground motion from the largest mine induced seismicity to ground motion from an underground nuclear explosion, where the seismological mechanism resembles a shallow earthquake (Gibowicz and Kijko 1994). Typical damage to the buildings, infrastructure or equipment at or nearest epicenter include furniture toppling, damages to the lifts, characteristic structural and cosmetic cracks of the masonry buildings, cracks of the panel prefabricated buildings, and in some cases even stronger damages of the walls (see e.g. photographs from Figs. 1 and 2).
In a paper by Zembaty (2004) ground motions from rockbursts from a copper mining basin in Western Poland were analyzed in detail to define differences as well as similarities to earthquake records motions. Following the Johnston (1992) paper two, characteristic types of rockbursts were identified with respect to their surface records:
? Events of type I with rather low intensity, return period of 2–3 months, very short duration (1–2 s), and Fourier spectra shifted to higher frequencies (about 20–40 Hz) similar to those from surface mining. These events are directly related with the mining activity.
? Rare events of type II (return period of 1–2 years), longer duration (about 5 s or more) and dominating part of Fourier spectra below 5 Hz, similar to weak, shallow earthquakes. These events are only loosely connected to specific mine activity.

In Fig. 3 plots of the acceleration, velocities and Fourier spectra of a strong type II rockburst record are presented. According to USGS, the moment magnitude of this mining induced event equaled 4.8.Corrected magnitude, accounting for shallow(1 kmdeep) focus equaled 4.3 (according to Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences,Warsaw). For the record

from Fig. 3 the maximum horizontal acceleration PGAhor 1 reached 156.7 cm/s2, maximum horizontal velocity PGV1 hor equaled 18.09 cm/s. In Fig. 4 respective acceleration, velocity and displacement response spectra of the time history record from Fig. 3 are shown for damping ratio 5%. The rockburst record from Fig. 3 resembles with some respect a near field natural earthquake record in mini scale. A clear acceleration pulse along the x axis can be seen. A substantial shift to high frequencies can be seen in the vertical component. The strong motion duration of the horizontal components equaled 5.3 s. This duration is the time for cumulative Arias (1970) intensity
to stay between 5 and 95% either for the two, horizontal components of ground acceleration ax and ay or for the vertical component az (Trifunac and Brady 1975b). This 5.3 s strong motion duration is characteristic of mine induced seismic event.

3 Statement of the problem
For natural earthquakes civil engineering codes of practice like Eurocode 8 or Uniform Building Code are well developed and expected seismic loads can be calculated as function of the averaged, design response spectrum model and respective design acceleration. However when it comes to rockbursts the application of these codes in any design practicefaces two unknowns
? choice of the appropriate response spectrum to account for details of the time history
? choice of the design ground acceleration ag.
The first unknown can be found from records, since mines and their vicinity are nowadays well instrumented. Only the strong records of type II rockbursts should be analyzed (the high frequency rockbursts type I are practically harmless to buildings except only for cosmetic cracks in the plaster). After collecting enough number of such the records and carrying out well known processing and averaging techniques (e.g. Chopra 1995) the design response spectrum can be defined.
However the second unknown is more difficult to define because in seismic codes the reference, design acceleration agR is a probabilistic value—usually assumed as a value of maximum allowable acceleration expected to be exceeded with probability 10% during 50 years, which corresponds to 475 years return period. Such a long time span cannot be accepted to the rockbursts effects. Typical, moderate rockburts occur during mine exploitation every 1–4 months (rockbursts of type 1). The strongest, type II rockbursts occur with return period of 1–3 years. In addition the number of records of strong, type II rockbursts are limited and are not supported with studies that associate PGA with cracking damage. To solve this problem first the problem of an intensity measure of earthquakes and rockbursts should be addressed.
There are various measures of seismic intensity. To mention just a few of them:
? descriptive, 12 degree scales like the MM, MSK-64, EMS-98 etc.
? measures based on cumulative energies at the site, e.g. the Arias intensity (Eq. 1)
? measures based on peak values of seismic records (e.g. PGA, PGAhor, PGV, PGVhor)
In seismic codes each zone is defined by the design seismic acceleration. As an engineering “rule of thumb” one can even associate the design accelerations with some values of Modified Mercalli intensity: 0.05 g with VI MM, 0.1 g with VII MM, 0.2 g with VIII MM, 0.4 g with IX MM(Hadjian 1993). In Eurocode 8 the design intensity is reflected by value of the reference design acceleration agR which is obtained after detailed and careful studies of seismic risk in a particular country and given in National Annexes to Eurocode 8 (Garcia-Mayordomo et al. 2004). It should be pointed out here that actual design methods applied in modern code sallow the structure to respond to a rare earthquake with substantial level of damage controlled by ductility coefficient q. This cannot be accepted for the strong rockburst effects which may occurr with return period 2–4 years. On the other hand assumption of linear response (no damages allowed) may lead to very conservative design. Thus some selected low values of q factors should be allowed.
It is well known for a long time (e.g. DIN 41-50 1975; Khandelwal and Singh 2007; Lu et al. 2002), that for the artificial seismic effects, like blasts in queries, pile hammering, traffic vibrations, the role of a “good” measure of intensity is played by peak ground velocity (PGV), sometimes called Peak Particle Velocity (PPV). It is so because acceleration records of seismic effects originating at very short distances are usually dominated by high frequencies. For instance a PGA of 1.5 g does not cause cracking at a frequency of 50Hz (Siskind et al. 1980). As an effect, for some short distance blasts, the PGA can reach values even close to 1g but with only minor damages to the buildings. On the other hand the Peak Ground Velocity better reflects the actual severity of ground vibrations at the building site so it is much better correlated with the structural damages (Dowding 1996).
When it comes to rockbursts the role of PGV still is important, particularly for the type I rockbursts (Zembaty 2004; Johnston 1992). Also for the type II rockbursts or natural earthquakes PGV can be employed as a measure of cracking damage for PGVs for dominant frequencies of 2–3Hz and above. In addition activity of the mines is closely monitored and the expected values of peak velocity can be forecasted depending on the type and direction of underground ore exploitation. Zones, with special design requirements related to forecasted surface velocities can be defined in the areas of the mine exploitations. These maximum ground velocity estimations can be used as intensity measures for the structural design purposes. The key question is however how to link the expected surface ground velocity vg with the code design acceleration ag.
One of the best parameters measuring severity of seismic response of structures can be structural relative displacement (e.g. interstory drift). Its value directly shows to what extend the structure was excited. Thus, no matter the type of seismic record e.g. directly artificially induced, randomly triggered by rockburst or reservuar or purely natural earthquake, its ability to induce structural relative displacement describes best its intensity with respect to structural damages. In what follows a comparison of code, design acceleration ag with the forecasted surface velocity of the rockbursts vg will be carried out using the relative structural displacements serving as a link for these two seismic intensity measures.
4 Compatibility of rockburst and seismic design response spectra
Consider a single degree of freedom system under seismic excitations U(t) (Fig. 5).
The velocity of the rocbursts which induce displacement responses of the structures similar to the displacements corresponding to the design acceleration ag can be treated as representing similar intensity as the one assumed by the seismic code. For this purpose the familiar displacement response spectrum can be used because typically this response spectrum is assumed as relative in seismic engineering and in particular in seismic codes. Consider Fig. 6, where displacement response spectra of two rockbursts are displayed together with Eurocode 8 displacement response spectra. The EC8 displacement response spectra were calculated with the level of design accelerations ag to best fit the rockburst displacement response spectra for natural periods representing typical buildings (T=0.5–1.5 s) and with damping ratio ξ = 5%.
The first two records represented two horizontal rockburst components with PGVhor = 6.4 cm/s. Corresponding design accelerations ag equaled 55 cm/s2. The second fit represents two rockburst records with PGVhor = 11.4 cm/s and the respective design seismic

acceleration ag = 110 cm/s2. In Fig. 7 respective (absolute) acceleration response spectra of the two records used to calculate Fig. 6 are shown.
The ratio r between the horizontal rockburst velocities and Eurocode 8 design accelerations are:
5 Design, “averaged” response spectrum of rockburst excitations
From the wide choice of rockburst records only 18 type II records were selected since only
these records represented ground motion strong enough to be of interest in constructing the response spectrum. Their main parameters are shown in Table 1.
To show the variability of all the strong motion records used in the analysis respective coefficients of variation are shown at the bottom of Table 1. In addition the response spectra of all the records listed in Table 1 are shown together in Fig. 8, normalized to PGV=1cm/s. Such the normalization transforms all the response spectra plots into common intensity.
When constructing averaged response spectrum the accelerograms should be normalized with respect to the same peak acceleration (Fig. 9).
Next a smooth, design response spectrum was obtained (Zembaty and Kokot 2007) by applying standard averaging techniques (see e.g. Chopra 1995). This response spectrum is given by equation (4) and is displayed in Fig. 10.

Fig. 8 Acceleration, velocity and displacement response spectra of the horizontal components of 18 strong records listed in Table 1. All the plots are normalized with respect to PGV=1 cm/s (damping ratio 5%)
Fig. 9 Acceleration response spectra of 18 strong horizontal records from Table 1, normalized with respect to PGA = 100 cm/s2 (damping ratio 5%)
The design response spectrum was obtained by excluding the site effects. It was done so because the actual area of the mine activity was rather small and with relatively uniform shear wave velocity in the surface layer (Mutke et al. 2000).
6 Dependence between the rockburst intensity and design acceleration
Finally, the last step was to obtain the average coefficient between the forecasted ground velocity vg and the design acceleration ag. It was done by formulating a minimization problem in which the difference between rockburst displacement response spectra and the averaged response spectrum (4) was minimized:
The range of natural periods was chosen to include the structures which are typically planned for design in the Copper Basin LGOM in Poland, with T1 = 0.2 s and T2 = 1 s.
After employing standard Matlab optimization procedures for eq.5 and the 18 records listed in Table 1 the average coefficient between rocburst velocity vg and design acceleration ag was established as equal to:
Typical values of horizontal velocities of strong rockbrusts measured at the epicenter (with about 1000m focus depth) equals from about 5 to 15 cm/s and design accelerations ag vary from 42 to 125cm/s2 which can be roughly associated with VI to VII MM intensity (Trifunac and Brady 1975a), particularly when taking into account usually longer durations of earthquakes than strong rockbursts. These intensity estimations are confirmed by macroscopic analyses of the data gathered during strong rockbursts in the LGOM Copper Basin (Zmbaty 2006). In terms of typical seismic codes these intensities correspond to the first, “l(fā)ighter” seismic zones. In fact Eurocode 8 suggests a lower limit of about 50 cm/s2 for any design seismic acceleration. For rockbursts however this limit should be lower because unlike natural earthquakes (return period 475 years) the strongest rockbursts with their return period of about 1–3 years may be expected several times during the lifetime of the building which generates greater seismic hazard for a given level of design acceleration.
Typical procedure to account for the rockburst effects in structural design consists of following steps:
a. A map of forecasted maximum horizontal ground velocities is prepared for the area affected by the deep mining (usually in radius of about 5–20km around the mine). This is done by special geophysical mine services applying methods of predicting seismic hazard by probabilistic methods (e.g. Gibowicz and Kijko 1994; Kijko et al. 2001 etc.) and isbased on the information about the planned underground mine activity, local attenuation law etc.
b. Based on these maps the ground surface around the mine is divided onto the velocity zones (say of maximum velocity 4, 6, 8 cm/s etc.)
c. By multiplying the average “velocity-acceleration”multiplier (Eq. 6) bymaximum“zone velocity” expected at the site of the designed building, respective design acceleration ag is obtai
