A damage criterion by blast vibration & noise has to be established through a engineering view point. Though a blast vibration has effects on human and structure, they have experienced a different damage. Thus, a damage criterion for structure needs to get a peculiar criterion which are different from one for human. At present, blast damage criterions authorized by government are Vibration & Noise Act made by Ministry of Environment and blast damage criterion of specifications for tunnel made by Ministry of Construction & Transportation. Vibration & Noise Act is based on the response of human, and while it has some application problems, it turns out to be partly rational. But, blast damage criterion of specifications for tunnel has unreasonable guidelines. In this article, its problems are reviewed and a alternative blast damage criterion is suggested.
