Large-Dimensional Shells under Mining Tremors from Various Mining Regions in Poland
In the paper a detailed analysis of the dynamic
response of a cooling tower shell to mining tremors originated from
two main regions of mining activity in Poland (Upper Silesian Coal
Basin and Legnica-Glogow Copper District) was presented. The
representative time histories registered in the both regions were used
as ground motion data in calculations of the dynamic response of the
structure. It was proved that the dynamic response of the shell is
strongly dependent not only on the level of vibration amplitudes but
on the dominant frequency range of the mining shock typical for the
mining region as well. Also a vertical component of vibrations
occurred to have considerable influence on the total dynamic
response of the shell. Finally, it turned out that non-uniformity of
kinematic excitation resulting from spatial variety of ground motion
plays a significant role in dynamic analysis of large-dimensional
shells under mining shocks.
