Numerical simulation is the most widely used methods for evaluating blasting performance. This study, conducted the numerical analysis of shock chamber model to evaluate the pressure confine effect of the stemming material and plug device. The stemming effect was compared and evaluated with that of the STF-based stemming material currently under development and sand, which is a commonly used blast stemming material. Furthermore, to verify of enhancement the confine effect inside blast hole pressure, three types of stemming plugs were adopted for the numerical analysis. The numerical simulation results revealed that the STF-based stemming materials were superior to the general stemming material. Also, It is evaluated that the STF-based stemming and Plug system can not only prevent detonation gas from overflowing the borehole prematurely, but also prolong the action time and scope of detonation gas in the borehole effective.

External charges with four different kinds of tamping materials are tested to determine the effect of tamping on the blasting of steel components and concrete blocks. The tamping materials used are tamping cap, urethane foam, sand bag and mud. As a result, the tamping cap, urethane foam, and sand bag show no significant effect of tamping. But the mud tamping shows that the charge amount can be reduced by more than 20% in completely cutting the structural components. In addition, it is found from the test that the standard equation for calculating the proper charge is rather conservative, which means the equation overestimates the necessary charge for the blasting.

최근 들어 산업용화약류의 사용이 급증하고 있으며, 발파작업시 화약의 효율적인 사용을 하기 위해서는 폭약이 장전된 공을 전색하여야 한다. 즉, 굵은 모래나 쇄석으로 채워야 한다. 조립질의 물질을 전색재료로 사용한 경우에 좋은 전색효과가 발휘된다 할지라도 흔히 천공시 발생하는 잔재물을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 암석발파시 가장 효율적인 전색재료를 구하고, 국내 산업용 화약류에 적용하기 위하여 시도되었다. 시험발파에 의한 모래 전색물과 STM의 발파진동 및 암석 파쇄상태를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 모래 전색물을 사용한 경우에 암석 파쇄상태는 양호이상이 19%이었으나 STM은 91%로서 STM은 발파효율을 상승시킨다. 또한 STM은 발파진동의 저감효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study conducted tunnel blasting to evaluate the blasting effect of a shear thickening fluid-based blasting stemming material and a sealed plug device under development. STF single stemming and STF stemming materials were combined with plugs to a tunnel blasting to which the SAV-Cut method was applied, and the advanced rate and fragmentation of tunnel blasting muck pile were compared when sand stemming was used. Tunnel advanced rate was evaluated using a 3D laser scanner. When the STF stemming material and STF stemming material with the plug were compared to the sand stemming material, it increased by 5.7 and 5.36%, respectively. As a result of evaluation of the fragmentation of tunnel blasting muck pile, it was the best when the STF stemming material was applied, and it decreased by about 61% compared to the case of sand stemming blasting. However, no significant improvement in blasting effect was observed with the application of plug devices.

There has recently been some trials to add the fluoride-releasing property to existing fissure sealants and some of them are already commercially available. But, some questions mat naturally be arisen regarding the potential decrease of physical properties by adding the fluoride despite its new caries-inhibiting abilities. This study was performed for the purpose of comparing the shear bond strengths of conventional composite sealant, Fluoride-releasing sealant and glass ionomer sealant, and obtained the results as fellows. 1. Two kinds of composite sealants (Helioseal and Teethmate-A) showed slightly higher bond strength than Fluoride-releasing sealant(Teethmate-F) without any significance(p>0.05). 2. Class ionomer sealant (Fuji III) was much lower than composite sealant in shear bond strength(p<0.05). 3. With the result of this study, it was found that there is little effect on retentive properties of sealants by adding fluoride to amplify the caries-inhibiting properties.

The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of three resin surface sealants to prevent microleakage in Class V composite resin restorations. Forty Class V cavities with the occlusal margin in enamel and gingival margin in dentin were prepared on the buccal surfaces of sound extracted molars, and restored with composite resin. Restorations were randomly assigned into one of four equal groups (n = 10): a control group, without resin sealing, and three experimental groups in which margins were sealed with Fortify Plus, Biscover and Permaseal, respectively. Specimens were thermocycled, immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution for 4 hours, sectioned longitudinally, and observed the leakage at the occlusal and gingival margins. The result was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. In conclusion, the ability to reduce microleakage at occlusal margins was similar in all of three sealants. However at gingival margin, it depended on the type of used resin surface sealant. At gingival margin. control and Fortify Plus group showed statistically higher microleakage than PermaSeal group. and Fortify Plus group also showed higher microleakage than BisCover group (p < 0.05).

The most widely used method for determining the blast effects of explosives is the Trauzl test. This test is used to measure the explosive power (strength) of a substance by determining volume increase, which is produced by the detonation of a tested explosive charge in the cavity of a lead block with defined quality and size. In this paper, Trauzl lead block test and High speed 3D-DIC (Digital Image Correlation) system were conducted to evaluate the stemming effect of the blast hole. The effects of stemming materials can be expressed as the expansion of the cavity in a standard lead block through explosion of the explosives. The blasting experiment was conducted with emulsion explosives. The stemming material in the blast hole of lead block, which was adopted in this study, were using sand and stone chips. Results of blasting experiment and numerical analysis showed that the expansion rates of lead block were most affected by stone chips followed by sand. Also, as result of dynamic strain measurement on the lead block surface of High speed 3D-DIC system, the displacement and surface strain on the block were the highest in the experiment case of stone chips stemming.

In this study, for stemming effect in blast of the mortar block body, the crushed granite sand as fine aggregate, which is waste rock obtained at the ○○ limestone mine, was investigated to compare with stemming materials such as sea sand, river sand, clayed soil and water can be acquired easily at the field. The mortar block body was manufactured with the dimensions of 50 cm width, 50 cm length and 70 cm height. The direct shear and sieve separator test were performed, and the properties of friction resistance were analyzed by the extrusion test for five stemming materials. Axial strain of steel bar and ejection velocity of stemming materials due to the explosive shock pressure in blasthole with the stemming length of 10 cm and 20 cm in the mortar blast test were measured by the dynamic data acquisition system. Among stemming materials, axial strain showed the largest value at the crushed granite sand as fine aggregate, and the ejection velocity was the smallest value at the stemming of water. The results has shown correlate with harden unit weight in blasthole, particle size distribution, shear resistance, and extrusion strength of stemming materials. The ejection velocity of stemming material at the mouth of blasthole and the axial strain of steel bar in the inside of blasthole tend to be inversely proportional to each other, represent exponentially.

Coupling effects of the stemming materials for single borehole were studied by AUTODYN analysis and compared to understand the role of different stemming materials on transmitting the pressure from blasthole to the surrounding rocks. Five different material properties, air, sand, water, 10% and 20% gelatin were selected. Authors assumed that high pressure detected in borehole means better fragmentation. Simulations show that these coupling materials lead to different level of pressure in the blasting hole and 20% gelatin turns out to be highest among them. Results show that gelatin can be used as better coupling material than sand or water.
