Assessment of Blast-Induced Vibrations Using Numerical (Digital) Modelling

Blasting technology is widely used in mining, geotechnics, and infrastructure construction. The energy released during an explosion propagates through the ground in the form of elastic–seismic waves. The intensity of these vibrations can sometimes cause significant impacts on surrounding structures, underground workings, or the natural environment. Therefore, accurate prediction of blast-induced vibrations is one of the key tasks of modern engineering.
