Seismic Impact Assessment of Blasting on Surrounding Population Using Geophysical Methods
Downloads
The seismic impact of blasting on surrounding structures and population presents a significant engineering and ecological challenge. This study utilizes geophysical methods to assess vibrations generated by blasting, analyzing factors influencing wave propagation, including geological characteristics of the terrain and distance of structures from the explosion source. Instrumental measurements show that vibrations do not always decrease proportionally with distance, but rather depend on the properties of the soil and mass of explosives. Timely informing the population about the timing and intensity of blasting is crucial to minimize negative effects and enhance safety. The research results emphasize the need for precise vibration and noise measurements, optimal placement of measuring devices, and expert coordination to minimize risks of damage to structures and negative impacts on people. These findings can serve as guidelines for assessing seismic effects of blasting in similar environments.
