5.0 out of 5 stars Construction Vibration, September 9, 2007
This review is from: Construction Vibrations (2nd ed) (Hardcover)
A must read for any Blasting engineer. Gives a good base to start any vibration or airblast blasting work, investigations. A lot of empirical equations, which the reader should understand the background prior to using, as some are not the conventional methods. Very well written and very good reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Broad Coverage of Manmade Vibrations Issues, May 16, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
Besides covering several different activities related to the mining (Ex: blasting) and construction (Ex: Pile driving) industries this easy to read book enables the reader, even the not highly experienced professionals of the area, to fully understand the theoretical principles that rule the practical aspects of the recommendations found in it. This book is one of the best available sources of knowledgement for controlling vibrations and protect structures and people standing in the surrounding area of a blasting or a construction site from its harmful effects.
