induced by blasting may vary significantly at or around a quarry depending on
several parameters such as the amount of explosive charge, the horizontal
distance between the blast and the seismograph and the weather conditions.
Therefore, evaluation of air shock condition at or around a quarry is
necessary.  </span>In
this study, whether the relationship between the air shock and the horizontal
distance, towards the settlement areas due to blasting operations in a quarry
belongs to Çorum Votorantim Cement Plant, has been investigated. The method of
study is to perform in-situ air shock measurements in order to investigate the
effect of the blast induced air shocks from different distances. Eighteen (18)
different shots were organized in separate parts of the quarry and air shock
values were taken as twenty five (25) different events from various distances.
From the results of the statistical analysis, the air shock equations were
obtained from scaled distances and the horizontal distance between the shot
point and the measurement point from the blasting in the quarry with good
coefficients of correlation as 0.82 and 0.78, respectively. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Mugla Sitki Kocman University}
