Response of a residential structure to ground motions generated by large, surface coal mine blasts can provide information regarding the cracking severity of microseismic events. Microseismic events produced by small earthquakes, minecollapse and reservoir induced seismicity, etc. can lead to concern on the part of those who feel the ground motion. These concerns can be addressed by reference to low frequency blast generated ground motions that have not caused cracking. This paper presents measured response of a structure to motions producing peak particle velocities of 10 to 19 mm/s and ground displacements of 0.3 mm at 5 to 15 Hz, which can be employed to interpret microseismic phenomena of any sort. Measured responses include velocity responses of the superstructure and midwall as well as vibratory response of existing cracks in walls. Response spectra of these blast generated motions are compared to those generated by moment magnitude five midcontinent earthquakes to determine the relative impact. The structure was inspected for crack extension after each blast and none were found
