Abstract
Tunnel blasting that plays the most important role in the construction of a drill & blast tunnel, shows a big difference in operation time according to various factors such as rock mass quality, tunnel dimension, machine performance, and the skill level of tunnel crews. This paper analyzes the differences between the time calculated by the standard of estimate and actual operation time based upon field investigations on blasting operation time in three tunnels of Korea. The result shows that actual blasting time is generally about 8%~16% less than the standard of estimate in cases that normal operations are performed. If the time delayed by unforeseen situations is included, however, it is presumed that the number of cases that actual operation time exceeds the standard of estimate are considerable. This study aims to help make a judgement over the appropriacy of the standard of estimate through continuous investigations on actual operation time, as well as improve the productivity of tunnel excavation.
