Control Of Strong Ground Motion Of Mining-Induced Earthquakes By The Strength Of The Seismogenic Rock MassBy A. McGarr
The shear stress t that can be sustained by the rock mass in the environs of a mining-induced earthquake controls the near-fault peak ground velocity v of that event according to v=0.25(ß/G)t, where ß
