Today, the demolition process employing blasting operations has a demanding technological application, demonstrating that the employment of the blasting method is a suitable alternative in terms of efficiency, quality, and safety. This article describes the practical way and safety conditions of realizing the demolition process of a concrete bridge built over a width river and located in the area of a water dump and a power plant. The bridge was designed as a structure that crosses the river, continued with an acc...

Blasting operations are an essential part of underground mining activities, but the seismic waves generated during detonation may adversely affect the stability of underground mining structures such as galleries, chambers, intersections, and support systems. Repeated blasting can lead to cumulative damage, increasing the risk of degradation of both the rock mass and the installed support. This paper presents considerations regarding the assessment of the seismic effects of blasting operations on underground mining...
