Title: Azimuthal Variation of Short-Period Rayleigh Waves from Cast Blasts in Northern Arizona
Abstract:We have examined the generation and propagation of short-period (SP) Rayleigh waves ( Rg ) from two cast blasts of similar yield (∼726,000 kg of explosives), delay sequence, and near-source geology at...We have examined the generation and propagation of short-period (SP) Rayleigh waves ( Rg ) from two cast blasts of similar yield (∼726,000 kg of explosives), delay sequence, and near-source geology at a coal mine in northern Arizona. The blasts were oriented approximately perpendicular to each other, allowing for radiation pattern studies at regional distances. Near-source seismic ( P and Lg phases, the observation of these Rg radiation patterns at regional distances could act as a cast blast discriminant in regions of monitoring concern.Read More
