Construction activities such as blasting, piling, compaction, excavations, and construction
traffic can produce vibrations of sufficient strength to cause damage to neighbouring …

Controlled studies of the damaging effects of blasting vibrations have indicated that peak
particle velocity is the best index for blasting vibration damage to residential structures …

Gound vibrations from blasting have been a continual problem for the mining industry, the
public living near the mining operations, and the regulatory agencies responsible for setting …

THE RAPID DETONATION OF EXPLOSIVES CONFINED IN BLAST HOLES PRODUCES
STRESSES AND STRAINS IN THE ROCK WHICH FRACTURE THE ROCK IN THE …

The results from an experimental blasting program that was performed at the special
explosives training field of the General Directorate of Security in Ankara, where new …

Imminent ground vibrations are often an undesirable by-product of blasting. The “peak
particle velocity”(PPV) of vibrations is often used as a means of predicting and/or assessing …

A good number of empirical formulae and methods dealing with the analysis of the effects of
blast-induced ground vibrations have been developed. The most common approach …

Blasting is common in the coal industry to remove rock overburden so that the exposed coal
can be mechanically excavated. The ground vibrations and air blast produced by blasting …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Predicting ground vibrations (and noise) induced by blasting
is becoming increasingly important. This is due in large part to the fact that more rock …

The damaging potential of blast vibrations have been conventionally quantified in terms of
peak particle velocity and the associated frequency. Both these parameters depend in a …
