ABSTRACT

A mathematical model has been developed to predict the effect of particle velocity operation on the near by structures such as dispatching station, leaching and oxide dump locations. In this study 57 resultant of ground motion components from eleven mine Blasting operations were recorded by digital seismograph PDAS100. These vibration components were analysed by DADISP and Winsurf software. Using Excel programme, the mathematical model was developed, based up on this model the safe distance from Blasting operation of Sarcheshmeh copper mine is estimated to be 310 meter for at most 7100 kg explosive charge per delay.
