In ths study 57 resultant ‘of ground motion components from eleven mine blasting operations were recorded by digital sismograph PDASIOO. These vibration components were analysed by DADISP and Winsusf software Using Excel programme, the mathematical model was developed, based up on tis model the sae distance from blasting ‘operation of Sarcheshmeh copper mine is estimated to be 310 meter for at most 7100 kg explosive charge per delay. 1 INTRODUCTION Ever since explosive were discovered and developed for mining purposes, there as existed the problem of What would be he eet of surface mite basting on the near by structure. Ase result, many investigations fave been made concerting the effects of vibration from surface mine basting, But stil there is not availble and adequate st of standards to pret the damage caused by surfice mine Waking One ofthe fet studies was made in 1927 by Rock Wel be ‘concluded that srfice blasting woul! not ase any damage to any structures or hurt any people that ‘were 60-50 meters ffom asrfice lst, he blieved the effect of vibration depended upon charge size and GGsance (Birch & chalfler 1983) Follsng this period, FJ Crandel in 1980 made the major ‘conibaton to the research of demage to stuctre, his effort was based up on vibration level in the ground atthe locaton of the smactre (Osanlon 1980), Between 1950 and. 1999 demand. for ‘ekltiom) information on the vbetion problem fom Sarface mine lasing increased (Sigh & Vog! 1996) and Roy 1998) ‘A. terious problem now existed in determining how near to an existing sructutes, a surface mine can suey conduct basting operators Seams 1996) The objective. of ths sudy i to develop 0 new panicle velocty equation fo predict and evauate the ‘round ication resulting fom Swcheshnch copper mine blasting operations on the near by structures such as dispatching station, oxide dump locations. 2 MINE CONDITIONS ‘Sarcheshineh copper mine is ocated in 160 kilometer at south west of Kerman province of Iran between 31°2' latitude and $6°1" longitudinal (Fig 1), te — Ne Figurel. shows the general location of Sarchesh- ‘meh copper mine of iran.Kerman provinces positioned in about south east of Tran, the nearest town to Sucheshneh mie is Rafesanjan. The average eight ofthe mine relative to sea level is 2600 meter, the yearly temperatures ranged between -18°C to 433°C and the rin at the hishes point of mine is $00 milter per year ‘The mine shape is eliptical and larger diameter is 2300 meter, small diameter is 1200 meter. Sarcheshmed mine have two plans, one called primary plan andthe second plan is named expasicn Han The primary plan designed for 20 years. In ‘rimary pln 40000 toanes ore with average 12 percentages Cu per day must be mined. To approach this large amount of re about 40000 tonnes waste must be removed (ODE 1998). The blastoles diameter depended on the ‘ype of dls avaiable, type of rocks and explosives are 77", 9" and 97" and hole depthis 1S meter. The blasthole ae cried by BE4SRIR-DMH and IR-T4. The dilhole pattern for hard rock i 856m for medium rock s ‘xT and for sol rock is 9337 Sm. Aso the iype of ceplosives are used in Stcheshmeh mine are depended on the type of rocks end hole conditions, varied from ANFO to Emolite, Emolan, and Dynamite. The primer is made of dynamite and the "weight of booster per hole is about half of kilogram. AI blast holes are blasting with MS delay No. 9, 17, 25, 38 and 6S. In. the near future the Sarcheshmeh copper mine is going to use semi- dispatching system {0 optimize their haulage operation, Based up on this design the dispatching station is builded in Sheet a ne ee leaching processing plants are located in days No. 10 and 1 Thee dumps arc locating in south of mine 3 MODELING PROCEDURE ‘To develop general model for predicting peak patie Yeboity fiom blasting operation of Sarcheshrch coppermine the procedure of modeling ‘were divided in two parts (Fig.2).

At this stage all blastholes parameters and quantity of blasting, charge per period were determined. The type of explosives used were ANFO and Emolan the ‘number of bisstholes per each round ranged between 19 to 73 with 9” and 97” diameter. The minimum and maximum explosives per round were 1290 and 225000 ke, 32 Sealed distance determination The coordinations of 1) blasting blocks and 57 selsmographs were determined and lay downed on Sarcheshmeh copper mine map with sco scale. The distance from center of shot and measured points were estimsted Calculating the quantity of explosives used per row and the distance between shot points 1o measured points the scaled distance for various root of explosives weight were calculated ‘These various root were V5, "Vp ands 43 Data recorded ‘The motion of the vibrated earth were measured and recorded by digital seizmographs PDAS 100 which had tree in dependent sensor units at right angle to ‘each other. To recognize the shape and conditions of vibration waves the data recorded by each were analysed by DADISP software GASI_ 1985), Then peak particle velocity of each component of seismograph was readed(Fig 3).
