The analysis of ground vibrations induced by bench blasting at Akyol quarry and practical blasting charts

Prediction of ground vibration due to quarry blasting based on gene expression programming: a new model for peak particle velocity prediction

“…Nevertheless, in the blasting operations, a large amount of explosive energy is wasted to create environmental impacts like flyrock, ground vibration, air overpressure, and back break which can affect surrounding area Singh 2006, 2007;Khandelwal and Kankar 2011;Ebrahimi et al 2015). Among these environmental issues, ground vibration is recognized as an undesirable phenomenon which may lead to damage to surrounding structures, adjacent rock masses, roads, underground workings, slopes, railroads, the existing ground water conduits, and the ecology of the nearby area (Singh and Singh 2005;Toraño et al 2006;Ozer et al 2008;Verma and Singh 2011;Faramarzi et al 2014;Dindarloo 2015a). Hence, proper estimation of ground vibration may minimize/reduce the blasting environmental problems.…”

Ground Vibrations and Air Blast Effects Induced by Blasting in Open Pit Mines: Case of Metlaoui Mining Basin, Southwestern Tunisia

“…These regulations are mainly based on peak particle velocity (PPV) due to blasting operations [3]. Many scientists have investigated the PPV [4][5][6][7]. The United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) proposed the first significant PPV predictor equation.…”

Classification and regression tree technique in estimating peak particle velocity caused by blasting

“…In the blasting operations, a large amount of explosive energy is utilised in creating undesirable environmental impacts like generating flyrock, blast-induced ground vibrations, air-overpressure, and back-break which can affect the surrounding area [1][2][3][4][5]. Among these, the blast-induced ground vibrations are recognized as the most undesirable phenomenon which may lead to damage the surrounding structures, adjacent rock masses, roads, underground workings, slopes, railroads, the existing ground water conduits, and may cause irreparable damage to the ecology of the surrounding area [6][7][8][9][10].…”
