Drilling and blasting is one of the most economical methods used for the exploitation of economic minerals from the earth crust. Ground vibrations induced by blasting are one of the fundamental problems in the mining industry due to its consequence on structural stability of buildings, socio-economical and the public involvement. Frequency is also another important parameter for the safety and stability of existing surrounding structures. There are number of vibration predictors available proposed by different researchers for the prediction of peak particle velocity (PPV) and to calculate...
