The conventional blasting method generates serious blasting vibration and underbreak/overbreak in spite of its high efficiency for rock excavation. To overcome these disadvantages, this paper introduces an alternative excavation method that combines the conventional blasting process with the free surface on the perimeter of the tunnel face using waterjet cutting technology. This proposed excavation method has advantages of (1) reducing vibration and noise level; (2) minimizing underbreak and overbreak; and (3) maximizing excavation efficiency. To verify the effects of the proposed excavation method, field tests were performed with a smooth blasting method at the same excavation conditions. Test results show that the vibration is reduced by up to 55% and little underbreak/overbreak is generated compared with the smooth blasting method. In addition, the excavation efficiency of the proposed method is greater than that of the smooth blasting method. The proposed blasting method with a free surface using waterjet cutting can be applied to urban excavation construction as well as to underground structure construction.

Over- and under-excavation are factors that increase construction cost of tunnels, which makes management essential. Total stations have been used for tunnel surveying because GNSS is difficult to use in tunnels. However, it takes much time to acquire data using total stations. In this study, a total station was integrated with a 3D laser scanner and used for tunnel surveying in Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The scanning total station reduced the work time compared to the conventional method. Furthermore, reports were effectively generated for overbreak and underbreak for each section and compared with the design. In addition, we could analyze both the cross section and scanned area effectively by using the scanning data. This method can improve the efficiency of tunnel surveying work by combining the advantages of a conventional total station and a 3D laser scanner.

터널의 1차 숏크리트 라이닝의 설계선 외측 부분에 발파시 주변에 방사상으로 발생되는 균열들을 제어하기 위하여 Smooth-Blasting 공법 적용하여 외곽공에 정밀폭약(FINEX)을 사용한다. (주)한화에서는 Smooth-Blasting 공법의 중요사항인 폭약선정 사항에서 기존의 G/D 계열의 FINEX를 동일 발파조건에서 여굴 및 미굴의 발생을 최소화시키기 위해 에멀tus 계열의 New FINEX를 개발하여 약종 별로 동일 발파 패턴을 적용하여 터널에서 시험발파를 실시하여 천단 및 좌, 우 측벽의 여굴의 발생범위를 계측장비와, Half Casting을 측정하였다. 현장 시험발파를 통한 결과 흑운모 편마암(일축강도 $1500{\;}Kg/\textrm{cm}^2)$에서 여굴제어는 G/D계열의 FINEX 보다 EMX 계열의 New FINEX가 15~50% 정도 감소가 되었다.

Overbreak, underbreak and range of disturbed rock zone (DRZ) are the most important factors in evaluating the results of tunnel blasting. These factors, which depend on the discontinuities in rock mass, the blasting patterns and drilling conditions, have been studied. The range of DRZ can be estimated by relationships between vibration velocity and associated tensile stress. A new computerized rocket jumbo drill has been adopted to reduce overbreak based on the analysis of drilling accuracy. In-situ blasting tests were also performed by varying initiating systems. Overbreak can be reduce from 34.5cm to 20cm. The range of DRZ is 0.2m with stoping holes and 0.4m with wall holes respectively. In addition, some methods to reduce DRZ have been presented in this study.

The existing tunnel survey method contains many problems of taking much measuring time, increasing construction expenses, and delaying a term of construction. Therefore the site survey system for an improvement efficiency is developed. This system will be able to solve the ewer factor and the problem of curtailment of time and expenditure. In order to solve these problems it connected a measurement equipment and a notebook computer, and developed the system which simultaneously with tunnel measurement it will be able to decide locations and errors from site at real-time. The development or the tunnel survey system minimize the error occurrence as measuring tunnel, and the probability of more or less excavation. Therefore this site survey system leads to the effect of the improvement execution quality of work, the cost reduction and the construction term reduction.

When an underground limestone mine selects room-and-pillar mining method, in which the stability of mine openings is maintained by leaving safety pillars, the stability of safety pillars is always incompatible with their productivity. Therefore, the engineering decision for stability and productivity is essential. In this study, a progress of excavation faces by conventional blasting pattern has been examined in field for investigating over-break and stereo-photogrammetry method has been applied to this field measurement for improvement of accuracy. Also this result has been reflected instantly to composite blasting pattern by feedback, for minimizing overbreak. Field tests showed the relevant results that $3.5m^2$ in over-break out of $70m^2$ in total excavation face has been decreased, that is 5% of reduction rate in maximum.

A 3D laser scanner is widely used in various fields such as games, movies, medicines, art, design, etc. Many studies for utilizing the 3D laser scanner in the fields of civil engineering have also been carried out, for example, for systematically managing tunnel and/or bridge construction. However, since a software which is directly applicable to Korean construction system does not exist, the amount of data obtained from existing the 3D laser scanner is too much to handle in a systematic way. Therefore, in this paper, a new data processing technique was established which can rapidly and effectively treat the 3D laser scanning data. Moreover, a software that can systematically manage the tunnel construction was developed. The developed software can assess the construction quality of tunnel excavation such as under-break, over-break, cracks, leakage and efflorescence, etc. A 3D laser scanner and the developed software was applied to an in-situ tunnelling site, and verified usefulness of the 3D laser scanner. The developed software may be useful for tunnel maintenance as well as for systematic management of tunnel construction.

Overbreak or underbreak is one of the most important factors in evaluating the results of a tunnel blasting. Overbreak, which depends on the quality of rock, the type and quantity of explosives, and drilling conditions, has been a target of challenge to many blasting engineers because it directly affects construction cost. Drilling is generally known as one of the primary factors to generate overbreak. This study presents a real working model to reduce overbreak based on the analysis of drilling accuracy and overbreak generated from various working methods related to drilling. As the first step of the study, 45 experiments have been performed. The factors investigated are: marking contour line, the position of perimeter holes, the change of look-out with drilling rig position, and the proper space between perimeter holes. It is concluded that workers and engineers＇ will and efforts are the most important factors to reduce overbreak and that improving drilling method and pattern could reduce overbreak to a considerable amount.

Stereophotogrammetry can be used for accurate and fast investigation of over-break or under-break which may form during the blasting of underground space. When integrated with small unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) or drones, stereophotogrammetry can be performed much more efficiently. However, since previous research are mostly focused on surface environments, underground applications of drone-based stereophotogrammetry are limited and rare. In order to expand the use of drone-based stereophotogrammetry in underground environments, this study investigated a rock surface of a underground mine through drone-based stereophotogrammetry. The accuracy of the investigation was evaluated and analyzed, which proved the method to be accurate in underground environments. Also, recommendations were proposed for the image acquisition and matching conditions for accurate and efficient application of drone-based stereophotogrammetry in underground environments.
