      An exact problem solution for elastic semispace stresses generated by a point burst is given. The stress components are expressed in the form of quadratures simplifying their calculation. The calculation results are illustrated by plots showing stress variation with time at different medium points and their space distribution for different times. The stress field obtained is used to define region configurations for potential soil destruction due to a contained explos ion.
