Study of Site Effect at Seismic Station Located in Undermined Area of Karviná Region (Czech Republic)

Abstract

The Karviná region is well known as an area with an intensive mining induced seismicity. The local geological pattern, especially subsurface sedimentary layers, belongs to one of the most important factors that influence the amplification of seismic effect on the surface. In order to investigate the amplification effect, there are used methods of spectral ratio that enable to analyse records of vibrations. In the present study, two methods, signed as SSR (standard spectral ratio) and HVSR (horizontal to vertical spectral ratio), were used for the site effect evaluation. The analysis was performed in the populated Doubrava locality where high seismic loading on the surface due to mining induced seismicity is documented.
