Several underground mines are being worked at a depth of 30-150 m from operating surface mines. Under such conditions, ground vibration from surface blasting may be a potential threat to the stability of adjacent underground mines. The book deals with a new innovative concept of classifying the blast induced damage to underground workings and structures due to surface blasts as Severe, Moderate and No damage by measuring the blast induced vibration. Predictor equations have been discussed to estimate ground vibration accurately and reliably. The advantages of the site-specific scaling law are...
