Calculation of explosive to limit seismic wave’s harm to concrete constructions in progress

Abstract

      Paralleling concrete and blasting works will reduce the time significantly for some constructions. However, the shocks, which causes by explosions, affect blocks of hardening concrete very negatively. It is the reason the application of this method is quite limited. This article introduces a method for calculating the maximum amount of explosives which can be used safely. It is one of the most important parameters in order to design blasts closed to the concrete constructions which are hardening.
