Abstract

This paper presents a vulnerability assessment of heritage masonry buildings subjected to ground vibrations induced by both mine blasting and earthquake. A design response spectrum model is developed based on close range measurements of nearby mine blasting activities, which is compared with a design spectrum model for far field mine blasts and the design spectrum model for earthquake actions based on AS1170.4-2007. For ground vibration level with Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) of 50 mm/s, a peak drift ratio of 1/2200 has been estimated, which is well within the serviceability limit state criterion of 1/600 as recommended in AS/NZS 1170.0:2002 for solid masonry houses, or the more stringent criterion considered applicable to heritage buildings.
