WISS United States Department of the Interior statistical and noise and fly-rocks. Ground vibrations produced due to blasting affect both the structures around the blast site as well as the structures existing in the closed vicinity. It may cause damage to the structures and buildings and is a nuisance for the living beings in the area. The affect of ground vibration depends upon its magnitude ...The limits for mines and quarries that commenced operation on or after 1 July 2001 are as follows: Ground vibration at sensitive sites must not exceed 5 mm/s (ppv) for 95 per cent and 10mm/s (ppv) for 100 per cent of all blasts. Airblast at sensitive sites must not exceed 115dB (Lin Peak) for 95 per cent and 120dB (Lin Peak) for 100 per cent of ...The method for measuring ground vibration is dependent on the blasting application and the type of data that needs to be collected. Velocity is the most common method used to measure ground vibration. This is because it is relatively easy to measure and it is referenced in most relevant legislation and standards.Of these effects,
