Preliminaries
摘要
This chapter starts with the authors’ views on different aspects of mine seismology, states the main differences between earthquakes and mine induced seismicity, lists the major factors influencing seismic hazard in mines, and proceeds to the general formulation of the seismic hazard management plan for seismic monitoring. Such plan should specify (1) the objectives of seismic monitoring for a particular mine, (2) what the mine needs to have in terms of technology and skill, and (3) what the mine needs to do daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly to achieve the stated objectives. At the end of this chapter, almost as an appendix, is a short note on seismic magnitude scales.
