Predictability of the ground vibration parameters induced by blasting during the tunneling

Abstract

Although many research studies were carried out in the past to eliminate environmental issues produced from blasting, unfortunately a general approach or formula has not been established yet due to the complexity of the matter. In addition to the wave and ground motion characteristics, the complexity of blasting para meters and site factors restrict the development of a general criterion. Therefore, experimental site-specific studies should still be done for predicting and controlling the blasting effects.
