(2009)</em></p><p><strong>Method Summary</strong></p><p>Vibration monitoring is performed to ensure dynamic movements (i.e., maximum velocities) are maintained within tolerable limits to prevent damage to nearby structures. Vibration monitoring can be done using vibration meters, geophones, accelerometers, or other sensing devices.</p><p><strong>Accuracy and Precision</strong></p><p>Vibration monitoring is considered accurate and precise.</p><p><strong>Adequacy of Coverage</strong></p><p>Vibration monitoring only needs to be performed near sensitive structures that may be damaged by the blast-induced vibrations.</p><p><strong>Implementation Requirements </strong></p><p>Vibration monitors are easy to set up, read, and interpret.</p><p><strong>General Comments</strong></p><p>Vibration monitoring of nearby structures can be performed in all applications of blasting densification.</p></p>
