Bulk Emulsion blasts using mechanized charging system, which is generally used in foreign countries, have recently introduced and gradually increased in Korea. The Bulk Emulsion are safe and able to increase the charging density for improvement of fragmentation and advancement especially in tunneling, and minimizing environmental problem. Because of less toxic gas generation, the explosives are called, namely ech-friendly products. There are two kinds of Bulk Emulsion; one is for open cut and the other is for tunneling. According to features of blast sites and its purpose, the compositions are different, but the principle is the same. In this study, trial blasts using Bulk Emulsion for tunneling had executed at 10 sites in Korea. The major result of the major job-sites is the following. First of all, compared with cartridge explosive, Bulk Emulsion was able to increase its charging density up to $35{\sim}60%$, to decrease the blast holes to approximately $10{\sim}30%$ down, and the advancement was improved up to $8{\sim}20%$ and also 30% up in its fragmentation. Toxic gas production after cartridge blasting showed 34.44ppm of its CO. Bulk Emulsion, however, showed 20.13ppm, which was 58.45% production of the cartridge explosive, and NOx was below 2ppm. The mechanized charging system of Bulk Emulsion should be applied to large sized tunnel blasting, long advanced tunnel which can secure the advancement of over $4{\sim}5m$, and the sites required finishing rapidly.

Bulk-Emulsion system은 미주나 서구 유럽 등지의 발파분야에 있어 선구적인 역할을 수행하여 왔던 나라에서는 이미 보편화된 시스템으로 ANFO 다음으로 노천이나 터널 굴진에 널리 적용되고 있다. Bulk-Emulsion system은 제조, 저장, 운반 및 사용에 있어서 극히 안전하고 장전밀도를 증가시켜 효과적인 파쇄와 굴진률 향상을 기대할 수 있으며 발파 후가스가 매우 양호한것을 비롯하여 기계화 장전에 따른 시공 능률 향상과 작업 안전성 강화 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속도로 터널 현장에 국내 최초로 터널용 Bulk-Emulsion system을 이용하여 총 15회에 걸쳐 시험발파를 실시하였으며 이 결과를 토대로 하여 Bulk-Emulsion system 적용에 따른 효과와 문제점을 알아보고자 하였다.
