Abstract

A research of the previous years has shown that on processes taking place in ground has a sufficient influence a background level of own ground microvibrations - microseism. This fact changes a view about ground model, explaining a difference in ground behavior at its studying in laboratorial and field conditions. In connection with that there was offered a new mechanical ground model that detects not only and influence of mechanical behavior of ground skeleton but also wave processes occurring in it. Conducted calculations of models shoved that offered ground model allows to describe processes observed in practice and not fitting in frames of the previous models. To these processes should be first referred such processes as: - Existence of “unlimited vibrations” of ground points at limited impacts; - Existence of advantage direction of oscillations propagation or isotopic ground (determined by us as “dynamic anisotropy”).

Influence of Seismic Noises Background Intensity on Waves Propagation Speed
