Calculate the PPV using the below stated blast parameters and discuss:
- How and where you would anchor the sensor of the seismograph and at what settings would you set the trigger levels.
- The documentation required and what you would complete prior to and after the blast.
- How would you test the seismograph prior to the blast
Blast Parameters:
The ground vibration and air blast are monitored at 230 m from the blast.
Burden =5.2m, spacing =6m, bench height =10m, hole diameter =172mm, sub-drill =1.0m, explosives density =1.15(g)/(c)c, stemming length =2.4m and the timing =42 millisecond inter row, and 100 millisecond intra row, closed V1 chevron. The free face is towards the north and the farmhouse is situated to the southwest behind the blast.
