PPV and Frequency Characteristics of Tunnel Blast-Induced Vibrations on Tunnel Surfaces and Tunnel Entrance Slope Faces

Tunnel blast-induced vibration probably causes damage to the rock mass surrounding the tunnel surface and also to the rock mass of the slope at the tunnel entrance. It is important to simultaneously monitor the vibration on the tunnel surface and on the tunnel entrance slope face, especially when th...
