Modeling of vibration effect within small distances

Abstract

The growth in the field of construction of shallow underground structures has been associated with construction of new roads, collectors and other structures. This contribution deals with modeling of distribution pattern of the maximum velocity amplitude (blasting vibration field) on surface basement. This basement will be situated within small distance from source of technical seismicity that is used as a part of technological processes. The model represents seismic effect of blasting operation in shallow tunnel. Plaxis 2D modeling system and its dynamic module based on finite element method are used for this presentation.
