AN ESTIMATION OF MAXIMUM VELOCITY ON BLAST VIBRATIONS

Abstract

An estimation of maximum velocity responses, which are caused by blasting vibration, gives the important roles on performing and controlling the blasting work. The observation data of blast vibration, which propagate in the soil and rock, have random characteristics. In this study, evaluating the relation between the maximum vibration energy of the wave and the maximum velocity response, it is shown that the maximum velocity can be estimated with a simple relation.
