Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This present work represents a success-ful attempt by a specialist in earthquake phenomena to deal with the basic ele-ments of vibrations arising chiefly from blasting, but the theory and associated analysis are equally applicable to other causes of wave motion through strata. The book... takes the reader from physics of wave motion through gen-eration, measurement, analysis and effects of vibrations...A happy bal-ance is struck between theory and prac-tice so that the two blend easily...
"The book can be recommended as a handy and concise reference for blasting engineers and... a good introductory textbook on the subject of vibrations."
-Robert Shepard, The Mining Engineer
Bollinger "synthesizes the theory and literature from the seismological, geo-physical, and engineering disciplines pertinent to the subject area of blast vibrations induced by quarrying, min-ing and engineering operations."-Mining Engineering
