27th Annual Conference on Explosives and Blasting Technique, Florida, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, 28 - 31 Ocak 2001, ss.351-360
The principal disturbances created by blasting in open pit mines are vibrations, air blast and fly rock. All of them, under some circumstances, caused damage to structures nearby and apart from this can be the source of permanent conflict with the inhabitations who live close to the operation. Therefore, prediction of ground vibration components is of great importance for the minimisation of the environmental complaints.
