Abstract This article presents the effect of mechanical waves on an adjacent building due to the rock blasting process during the construction of a tunnel. The rock blasting process is simulated using a 3D finite element model. To reduce the dynamic effect transmitted by the underground work, different types of trenches are analysed.
