In solid and very solid rocks, exploitation usually begins with the drilling of blast holes and blasting. On the other hand, blasting is known for its adverse effects on the environment. Ground vibrations, fly rock, and air blast are the most significant examples of such influences. The detonation of an explosive charge releases a large amount of energy. One part of the available energy is converted into kinetic energy, i.e. the energy of seismic waves, and a smaller part is converted into the energy of airwaves. Such forms of energy are harmful and can cause damage to nearby buildings. In order to avoid negative consequences of drilling and blasting works which are carried out for the purpose of exploiting a technical-building stone, it is necessary to perform control measurements of ground vibrations and air blast during each blasting. The measurement is performed by using small portable seismographs, whose input units are a three-component geophone and a microphone. The microphone measures the pressure of an air blast wave, and a three-component geophone measures ground vibrations, i.e. the velocity, displacement, acceleration, and frequency of seismic waves. To keep the undesirable effects of blasting within the limits prescribed by a norm, it is necessary to properly design the parameters of blasting such as the depth and diameter of boreholes, the stemming length, the firing interval between boreholes, etc. The thesis presents the procedure of field measurement and the analysis of results with their practical application on the example of production blasting at the quarry in Ljubešćica. Based on the measurement results, a calculation of the allowable quantities of explosive charge detonated per delay was made, since it became evident that reducing the amount of explosive charge is the best way to reduce ground vibrations during blasting.
