The concept of an automatic system for preliminary entry of hazardous facility into emergency mode with an approaching earthquake

Abstract

The article discusses the concept of introducing an automatic system for preliminary input of hazardous facilities into emergency mode in the event of an approaching earthquake, developed at the South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky. Theoretical prerequisites for the study of heterogeneities, using a passive method based on the location of secondary waves reflected from the inhomogeneities under the basements and foundations of buildings of already operated building structures, were taken as the basis of the proposed system. Due to the finite speed of propagation of seismic waves and having a sensor in the focus of an earthquake, it is possible for distant objects to learn about an impending disaster in a few tens of seconds. The effective use of the time window from the focus of the earthquake to hazardous facilities requires the development of: measuring equipment, data transmission systems, automatic event recognition, elements for automating the process of putting hazardous objects into emergency mode- all this is the goal and objectives of this article.
