D!
V = V ! _______________
D
where V! is the maximum ground particle velocity at the seismograph, D! is the distance of the seismograph from the blasting, and D is the distance from the blasting to the position in question and in the same general direction. The distance D! may not be greater than D, and D cannot be more than five times D! . This determined velocity at the site of any dwelling house, public building, school, church, or commercial or institutional building normally occupied shall not exceed the two inches per second limit.
