Abstract:
By new advances in construction and mining the need for drilling and blasting has been increased.
Considering the ascending approach in application of mining process and the need for using of blasting in
near occupied region, the safe blasting plays an important role in these areas. Blasting is one important part
of mining cycle in Sarcheshmeh Mine. At Sarcheshmeh mine, blast- induced ground vibration data analysis
is employing in order to reduce the vibration level due to blasting as well as prediction of ground vibration
level to find the safe distance. In this mine the ANFO for blasting of dry hole and Emolan for blasting of wet
hole are used as a main charge. By increscent in depth of pit and then facing with groundwater in blast
holes, the need for using of water resists explosives like Emulite has increased. In this work, the attenuation
equation of blast wave has been investigated for peak particle velocity using the total data of ANFO, Emolan
and separated analysis. The results show that changing of material type cause to different level of vibration
when considering their ANFO equivalent. In other words the vibration level of holes including ANFO is
relatively different from Emolan and for a given scaled distance the ground vibration level of Emolan is
greater than ANFO.
Key words: Ground vibration, ANFO, Emolan, blasting and Sarcheshmeh.
