Abstract

The safety and the stability of underground mine openings and sidewalls/pillars are closely related to blast-induced vibrations. A tri-axial transducer can be used to monitor vibration in the transversal, vertical, and longitudinal direction. In this paper, a predictive approach is proposed to estimate the magnitude of vibration. A set of 54 blast vibration recorded from an existing open-pit lignite mine has been considered. The frequency of the vibration, the amount of explosives per delay, the distance between shot points and monitor stations, and the scaled distance are the input parameters considered in this study. The output parameters are made of the particle velocities namely transverse peak, vertical peak, and longitudinal peak. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System have been used to predict the blast vibration in Open-pit Lignite Mine. The performance of the proposed approaches has been analysed to measure the prediction accuracy of vibration. The results show that the ANFIS model has a relatively higher level of accuracy as compared to ANN-PSO.
