Abstract: Underground blasts are conducted for deep excavations, tunneling, or mining activities. Scaled distance regression analysis is performed in industry to estimate peak particle velocity from charge weight and distance. For addressing the uncertainties in estimating safe charge weight for controlled blasting, 95% confidence expression is generally used. For addressing inaccuracies arising from superimposition of blast waves in multi-hole blasting when using attenuation equation developed from single-hole blast data, a modified approach was proposed in literature. This article presents comparisons to establish that industrial practice of scaled distance regression would be as satisfactory as the proposed modified approach, when various performance measures (including parsimony) are considered together. Furthermore, industrial practice of using 95% confidence expression generated from sufficient data (say, 40 numbers) would result in safe charge weight estimation, whereas modified scaled distance approach (mean expression) could still result in few non-conservative values.
