In Turkey, a great increase in mining and tunneling operations is seen in recent years. Production is generally done by drilling and blasting method in metallic mines, quarries and a part of coal mines and also in tunnels. It is known that the blast-induced vibrations can be cause undesired effects on nature or construction in around. In this study, field works and analysis of the blast-induced vibration in order to minimize are given for chosen quarry. Methodology for Minimizing Blast-Induced Vibrations (Turkish Patent Institute - TPI 2007/03459) was used for measurement of blasting and modelling of blasting data in compliance with Turkish and German standards.
