Abstract The characteristics of bed rock in the study area was classified by means of the crack coefficient estimated from the seismic velocities of in-situ and intact rocks. Various statistical methods were investigated in order to minimize the possible errors in estimating the predictive equation of blasting vibration and to enhance the determination coefficient $R^2$, for more reliable estimation. The determination coefficient showed the highest in the analysis for those groups using weighting function with the number of samples. The analysis for the weighting function employed with standard coefficient and variance also enhanced the determination coefficients significantly compared to the others, but the reliability was slightly lower than results obtained former method. Therefore the most reliable predictive equation of blasting vibration was found to be obtained from a regression analysis of the mean vibration level using the weighting of same distance groups within 15m with the same explosive charge weight per delay. The coefficients, K and n 317.4 and -1.66, respectively, when using the square root scaling, and 209.9 and -1.66, respectively, when using the cube root scaling. The analysis also showed that the square root scaling may be used in the distance less than 31m form the blast source, and the cube root scaling in the distance more than 31m for safe design.

암반터널굴착을 위한 발파시 이로 인한 암반의 최종 손상영역을 예측하는 것은 터널의 안전성을 위해 매우 중요하다. 그러나 복잡한 발파거동은 손상영역을 적절히 예측하는데 상당한 어려움이 있다. 이러한 어려움을 효과적으로 해결하기 위해 발파하중을 응력파와 가스압으로 분리한 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 응력파는 발파공 주위에 분쇄한(crushing annulus)과 파쇄균열대(fracture zone)를 형성시키며, 상당시간 지속되는 준정적인 가스는 파쇄균열대의 닫힌 균열내부에 침투하여 균열을 다시 진행시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 즉, 가스압은 최종적으로 암반에 손상을 가하는데 기여를 한다. 따라서 본 논문은 이러한 가스압에 의해 생성되는 균열의 최종 진행 길이를 예측함으로써 발파로 인한 최종 손상영역을 간단하게 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 무한 탄성평면에서 발파공 주위에 대칭으로 형성되는 균열을 모델로 사용하였다. 이 모델에서 균열이 진행할 수 있는 조건과 가스의 질량이 일정하다는 두가지 조건을 사용하였다. 그 결과 응력집중계수는 균열이 진행할수록 감소하여 최종균열의 길이를 예측할 수 있었고, 그와 동시에 발파공에 작용하는 압력도 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study proposed a prediction equation for the estimation of blasting vibaration and blasting noise, utilizing 320 datasets for the blasting vibration and blasting noise acquired during urban blasting works in the Incheon, Suwon, Wonju, and Yangsan regions. The proposed blasting vibration prediction equation, derived from regression analysis, indicated correlation coefficients of 0.879 and 0.890 for SRSD and CRSD, respectively, with an R² value exceeding 0.7. In the case of the blasting noise prediction equation, stepwise regression analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.911 between the prediction values and real measurements for the blasting nosie, and further analysis to determine the constant value revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.881, with an R² value also exceeding 0.7. These results suggest the feasibility of applying the proposed prediction equations when environmental impact assessments or education environment evaluation according to urban development or apartment construction projects is performed.

Vibration data from two blasting sites were analyzed to determine the sufficient sample number for blasting vibration estimation. Most important result is that much more than 30 sample data and succeeding measurement are necessary to estimate confident blasting vibration level and to determine limit scaled distance.

Already, VARI-STEM, CAS-BAG, POWER DECK etc. are used by various blasting methods to take the advantage of air decking technology in abroad. This study analyzed the application and the effect of Air ball blasting method in domestic blasting area. It is shown that blasting vibration was showed decrease about $30\~40\%$ and quantities of explosives was shown decrease about $20\~25\%$. Also, in the case of using air ball blasting method, it is found for airblast to be lower than common blasting method.

This study is aimed to obtain the critical crack lengthes of the concrete gravity dam and to investigate variation of the effective stress intensity factors at the crack tips of multiple cracks. Applied loads are dynamic load composed of blast vibration and hydrodynamic pressure which can be considered in case of the blast work at near construction site, in addition to static load composed of hydrostatic pressure, crack pressure, and gravity load of the dam. The critical crack lengthes were calculated according to the crack locations, directions, and magnitudes of blast vibration. Also variation of the effective stress intensity factors with respect to the multiple crack shapes and distances between the crack tips was investigated.

In situ and laboratory tests were carried out for investigating the Excavation Disturbed Zone(EDZ) generated from blasting at the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel(KURT), which is for the researches related to High-level radioactive waste disposal program. It was found that the EDZ was generated more than In from the laboratory rock tests and in situ experiments. RQD of the rock mass within $0{\sim}2(m)$, where the blasting impact was significant, was 17% lower than in the deeper zones without a serious blasting impact. It was also estimated that the deformability of rock mass was reduced about 40% after the blasting.

The estimation of proper prediction method and the alteration of transformation method of environmental regulation standard were carried out by measuring blasting noise in construction field. The correlation of scaled distance with sound pressure level were better than with sound level, but it was proved to be difficult to control blasting noise because the correlation factor was too 1ow. three methods to transform sound pressure levee to sound level were examined. The method is the transformation by correlation equation of sound pressure level and sound level which are measured at the same time, and simplified transformation of A-weighting network corresponding to dominant frequency, and the transformation of sound pressure level by FFT. There were many errors to transform. The best effective method is the transformation using correlation equation of sound pressure level and sound level which are measured at the same time.

Specific charge, also called powder factor, is defined as the total explosive mass in a blast divided with the total volume or weight of rock to be fragmented. It is a well-known fact that change in explosive consumption per ton or per cubic meter of rock is always a good indication of changed rock conditions. In mining, it is common to use explosive consumption per ton of ore as a measure of the blastability for rock. On the contrary, in civil engineering, it is common to use explosive consumption per cubic meter of rock. In this paper, we adopt the definition of the civil engineering because we are mainly concerned with tunnel blasting. Up to now, although various methods for tunnel blast design have been proposed, there are so many cases in which the proposed methods do not work well. These may be caused by the differences in rock conditions between countries or regions, and can give a serious technical difficulty to a contractor. But if we know the specific charge for a given rock, then the blast design can become much more easier. In this respect, we suggest an algorithm for tunnel blast design that can exactly produce the predetermined specific charge as a result of the design. The algorithm is based on the concept of assigning different fixation factors to various parts of tunnel section, and may be used in combination with the known methods of tunnel blast design.
