Development of a Model to Predict Vibrations Induced by Blasting Excavation of Deep Rock Masses under High In Situ Stress by Yong Fan, Xianze Cui, Zhendong Leng, Yurong Zhou, Junwei Zheng, Feng Wang

“…During the process of blasting excavation of deep rock masses under high in situ stress, energy produced by the explosive and the strain energy released by rock mass excavation constitute the energy source of vibration. However, in traditional Sadov’s empirical formula, the energy produced by explosive explosion is only considered which makes the error higher when it is used to predict the blasting-induced vibration peak under the condition of high in situ stress. …”
