Abstract

Stonava area represents a region with high seismic loading due to underground mining. For this reason, several seismological measurements are taken in buildings on the surface. This paper describes the results of the measurements taken in November 2008 and spring 2009 when experimental seismic stations were operated in the region under discussion. The area selected for measurement is not large enough for evaluating the validity of data measured at a certain point for its surroundings. A comparison study of recorded values on individual experimental seismic stations is presented in this paper.
