Kondela, Technical University of Košice, Institute of Geosciences, Slovakia The article summarizes experimental seismological measurements of vibration eff ects of blasting operations. During tunnel excavation can watch a variety of eff ects on the near or distant surroundings of the building. One o...

Seismic Wave Attenuation in Fluid-saturated Porous Media

Contrary to the traditional view, seismic attenuation in Biot's theory of uid-saturated porous media is due to viscous damping of local (not global) pore-uid motion. Since substantial inhomogeneities in uid permeability of porous geological materials are to be expected, the regions of highest local permeability contribute most to the wave energy dissipation while those of lowest permeability do...

A Bayesian Nonlinear Inversion of Seismic Body-Wave Attenuation Factors

k is a well-known fact that the uncertainties in measuring relative attenuation factors within a local or regional seismic network are usually high, due to noise of different kinds and unrealistic assumptions. Numerical experiments using nine synthetic seismograms, created using t* values ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 sec, reveal that the commonly used spectral ratio method is strongly affected by th...
