The method was demonstrated in two ways. Firstly, the magnitude of ground motion was estimated at distances away from a vertical source. If a worst case event is assumed, the simulation can be used to calculate the resulting ground velocity as a function of the distance from the source, and the model can thus be used to assist in stope support design. In the second case, an event was simulated on a hazardous fault. The ground velocity was visualized in 3D, and this provided useful information regarding possible damage throughout the volume modelled. The above was supplemented with 3D contours of sigma 1 stress (from an elastic MAP3D model), which pointed out highly stressed areas.enSIMRACGAP 303Seismic hazardMine layoutGeological featuresConference PresentationVan Aswegen, G., & Mendecki, A.
