Guide line for rock blasting design of the MOCT(Ministry of Construction and Transportation) adopts attenuation equation of du Pont company for blasting vibration. In this paper the validity of the equation is studied by comparing with several equations of Dowding, Devine and author's induced from the domestic vibration data. The equation is inadequately used and predicted values are proved to be underestimated and causes vibration problems.
