Micro-meter Crack Response to Rock Blast Vibrations, Wind Gusts & Weather Effects

Description:

Micro-meter dynamic crack responses in a two story structure to rock blasting- and wind gust- excitation are compared to those induced by long term climatological effects. These measurements substantiate the conservancy of the 12.5 mm/s (0.5 in./s) blasting vibration control to protect residential structures against cracking. The test structure was...

Description:

Crack and structural response to construction trench blasting was measured in a woodframe house with a stucco exterior. Blasts at distances between 232 m to 368 m produced peak particle velocities (PPV) and air blast over pressures (AB) of 9 mm/sec and 0.02 kPa (123 dB), respectively. Structural response velocities...
