Blasting vibrations and building damage
Building vibration and building damage resulting from blasting operations were studied on expendable buildings; 60 charges ranging from 0.3-1600 lb were set off at distance of 3-300 ft; for this range primary evidence of damage was in basement walls; observations were made of vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and strain of building structures; results supported previous conclusion that particle velocity is most useful indicator of onset of damage.
