A note on the effect of ripple firing on the spectra of quarry shots

D. E. WILLIS

INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN

Abstract

A series of controlled quarry shots were recorded at a distance of approximately 900 feet to ascertain the effect of ripple firing on amplitude and spectra of the seismic waves. A measurable reduction in the amplitude of compressional and shear wave was observed at some frequencies. This effect was not so pronounced for the surface waves.
