REDUCTION OF SEISMIC EFFECTS FROM BLASTING IN OPEN PIT COAL-MINES BANOVIĆI

Abstract

The ground motions of higher intensities are generated by deep-hole blasting of overburden. The most appropriate type of explosive as well as the optimum parameters of blasting was chosen. The minor part of the blasting energy is being transformed into the kinetic energy of seismic waves of smaller intensity (the paper is published in Croatian).
