The most widely used equation among these is one formulated by Duvall and Fogelson. In this study, peak particle velocity values were measured by a number of blast tests that were conducted in a limestone quarry by using a vibration meter. Scaled distance values for each blast test were calculated according to the equation proposed by Duvall and Fogelson. Subsequently, a new equation that calculates the scaled distance was proposed. The proposed equation gave more realistic values than the equation proposed by Duvall and Fogelson.
