Özet

As it is known, blast excavation works are often needed in both mining and construction projects in our country. Considering their contribution to the country's economy, it is important that such projects are carried out effectively and without harming the environment. In this context, vibration control of blasting has become inevitable. Most of the blast excavations are carried out with Non-Electric (Nonel) Systems. During the control of ground vibrations caused by blast excavation works with large diameters and high production speeds, the sensitivity rates of Nonel Systems are low due to the possibility of deviation in the delay values and the inability to go beyond certain standard delay values during production. In this study, the results of vibration velocity measurements were evaluated at three different distances in the same direction during experimental blasts with single, 2, 3, and 4 holes, using eight different delay alternatives. By employing electronic capsule technology with higher sensitivity, the delay intervals have been precisely determined as 13 ms, 17 ms, 21 ms, 24 ms, 28 ms, 32 ms, 36 ms, and 40 ms. In conclusion, the effect of delay intervals on vibration levels has been determined. Another outcome of this study is that the number of holes and rows in the blast groups may have an effect on vibration levels, as much as the delay intervals.
