The numerical analysis indicated that the vibration response reduced sharply at the three times of tunnel diameter. Visual display of vibration response was possible through 3-D FEM computer program, and displacement of structure, particle velocity were obtained as output. It was found that the vibration velocity was maximum at distance one to two times of tunnel diameter for the given simplified blast loadings. The results of numerical analysis were compared with empirical based predictive equation of blasting. The empirical equation showed a good agreement with 3-D FEM results at a certain range of tunnel depth in this particular type of ground conditions.
