Based on the actual situation of mine earthquake in Dong tan coal mine, Mine earthquake types was established by monitoring data analysis. For the purpose of protecting ground buildings, through the interdisciplinary theoretical analysis of mining, seismology and architecture, the criterion of the ground building damage scope of mine earthquake damage was constructed. Measures for the protection of the ground buildings have been proposed, including strengthening the ductility of the structure and reducing the mine earthquake energy, and for disposal of the building affected by mine earthquake provides a new way.
