Abstract
Blasting applications are frequently used during the construction of engineering structures. In our country, damage assessment criteria created by reference to the Report of Investigations RI 8507 prepared by the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) are used to control the impact of blast vibrations on existing structures or structures under construction. In this study, the structures in the database of that report of investigation and the points on which the damage criteria are based are examined. Moreover, in the light of the other studies carried out by different researchers about the blast damage criteria in engineering structures, the requirement of reevaluation of USBM damage criteria for reinforced concrete buildings, tunnels, pipelines and other engineering structures has been revealed.
