THE PEAK PARTICLE VELOCITY ASSESSMENT OF GROUND VIBRATIONS PRODUCED FROM DIFFERENT BLASTING SITES
Abstract
This paper presents the estimation of ground vibration parameters induced by blasting excavations realized at eight different sites located close to the residential areas. Within the scope of this study, in order to predict peak particle velocity and determine the slope of the attenuation curve for eight sites, ground vibration components were measured for all blast events over a long period. During the study, while the parameters of scaled distance were recorded carefully, the ground vibration components were measured by suitable monitors for the all blast events of eight blasting sites. At the end of evaluation of the data pairs, an empirical relation, which gives average line at 95\% confidence level and upper bound 95\% prediction line with a good correlation coefficient was established and suggested for each site. * This work was supported by The Research Fund of The University of Istanbul (Project numbers are 39/11092002 and T-184/06032003

, have been observed, as seen in Table 5. The frequencies have great distributions for granite sites where construction excavation is done. But contrary to this, quite low frequency distributions have been observed on Can lignite mine, which has a sedimentary rock formation. Table 5. Distribution of frequencies for each site.
