Hybrid GWO-XGBoost Framework for Blast-Induced Ground Vibration Prediction: Integration of Genetic Algorithm-Optimized Scaled Distance
Blast-induced ground vibrations, commonly measured in terms of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV), can affect adjoining communities, damage structures, and undermine the integrity of rock masses. Therefore, accurate PPV prediction is a prerequisite for making blasting sustainable and safe. This paper introduces a novel hyb...
