Purpose. The purpose of the study is to substantiate and develop the conceptual foundations of a universal adaptive approach to the regulation and monitoring of blast-induced vibrations, integrating dynamic geological factors, blasting technological parameters, and quantitative assessment of the deformation state of structures.
The methods. The methodological basis consists of a comparative analysis of the regulation of seismic vibrations from industrial blasts: international standards (USBM RI 8507, BS 7385, DIN 4150-3, ÖNORM S 9020, SN 640 312) and Ukrainian norms (DSTU 4704:2008, DBN V.1.1-12:2014, NPAOP 0.00-1.66-13) in the context of soil–structure interaction under various mining and geological conditions. Logical, hypothetical, mathematical-statistical, and comparative analysis methods were applied.
Findings. The absence of a universal adaptive approach that accounts for dynamic geological, technological, and regulatory factors leads to excessive conservatism of empirical limits and inefficiency in international projects due to the lack of integration of site-specific properties. The transition from static peak particle velocity (PPV) control to comprehensive analysis with strain-based deformation criteria is substantiated.
The originality. For the first time, an adaptive approach to regulation and monitoring is proposed, integrated with automated FFT analysis (resolution ≤0,5 Hz), correction factors for geological amplification, and recommendations for harmonizing DSTU 4704:2008 with Eurocode 8 and EFEE guidelines. This approach has been further developed compared to empirical models, improving deformation assessment accuracy by 15–25% and eliminating key shortcomings of traditional PPV limits.
Practical implementation. The results can be applied to industrial blasting in mining, construction, and tunnelling in Ukraine, subject to mandatory site-specific monitoring, calibration of geophones on foundations, integration with AI for real-time analysis, and harmonization with Eurocode 8 and EFEE data.
Keywords: blast-induced vibrations, vibration regulation, seismic safety, international standards, FFT analysis, peak particle velocity, blasting operations, regulatory harmonisation.
