Abstract Rock blasting, although a versatile and cost-effective technique, often generates significant adverse effects. The present study focuses on the assessment of ground vibrations induced by blasting, which are a major concern for both mine operators and nearby residents. A total of twenty full-scale field trial blasts were conducted in a limestone quarry in a Blue Metal Quarry in India, and the resulting ground vibrations were recorded. To predict peak particle velocity (PPV), both multivariate linear regression (MLR) and artificial neural network (ANN) models were employed, using parameters such as the distance between the blast site and the monitoring station, charge per delay, and scaled distance as inputs. Furthermore, the recorded vibration levels were evaluated against the threshold limits prescribed by the Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS), India. Frequency analysis of the recorded data indicated that the dominant frequencies predominantly ranged between 10 and 40 Hz. Although the measured PPV values were found to be within permissible limits, there remains a potential risk of structural disturbances in nearby buildings, particularly when relatively high PPV values occur at lower frequency ranges.
