Abstract:
Blasting vibration's effect on ground vibration is essentially an energy transfer and transformation process (Hongtao et al., 2010) [1]. In engineering, the blasting vibration duration is often used as an objective index to evaluate the blasting vibration hazard. Thus, this study on the factors influencing blasting vibration duration is essential. In this study, the blasting vibration duration prediction formula uses frequency and energy as independent parameters, which are analysed using a statistical t probability distribution. With the blasting vibration duration prediction formula, the delay time taken for the structure to reach the resonance frequency is obtained by calculating the dominant frequency of the structure. The results indicate that the frequency and energy of the blasting vibration signal are highly correlated with the duration of blasting vibration, and their introduction as independent parameters in the prediction formula can better improve the prediction accuracy. The dominant frequency should not be neglected in blasting vibration safety evaluations, and the use of blasting vibration duration prediction to calculate the dominant frequency can better avoid the resonance phenomenon in the structure.
