    The document provides calculations to predict ground vibration (PPV) and air blast (PSPL) from a blast with a weight of 36 kg and delay. It gives the calculation formulas and shows example predictions for PPV and PSPL at distances of 500m and 300m from the blast, finding predicted PPV values of 100.2812 mm/s and 60.16871 mm/s respectively. It also provides predictions in kPa and dB and compares the predictions to actual blast data from a 64 hole blast with a weight/delay of 30.5 kg.
