Abstract: In this report, a large number of motion measurements from contained explosions in various rock types were reviewed and presented. These data were interpreted in terms of dimensional analysis and other constraints necessary for dynamic consistency to yield scaling relations for estimating peak motions in various rock media from contained bursts. Suggestions are also given for estimating ground motions from direct induced ground shock resulting from a surface burst on rock.
