This study, to reduce a ground vibration damage of the structures in an area adjacent to housing structures located closely above the tunnel section, is the ground vibration reduction instance of a tunnel blasting selectively applied the ground vibration-controlled blasting method (delay time applied blasting method, large center hole cut method, Line Drilling method, etc) with an originally planned blasting method connected, but with it's workability and economic efficiency is satisfactory, so, the results says the ground vibration-controlled blasting method on a similar condition is very effective, even if the applicability is depend on the blasting method and ground condition of the work area.

In this study, 16 test blastings had been carried out with different spacings, burdens, drilling lengths, and charges per delay for investigating the characteristics of ground vibration propagation, which depends on the delay time. From the tests, it was possible to derive a ground vibration equation. Using the equation, the characteristics of ground vibration could be investigated by analyzing the nomogram and predicting the Peak Particle Velocity (PPV), which are influenced by the delay time and the priming location. The trend of ground vibration change depending on the delay time was analyzed for the standards charges of 0.5, 1.6, 5, and 15 kg, which were suggested in "Blasting design and construction guidelines to road construction" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. From the study, it would be possible to suggest a favorable vibration control method, which depends on the charge.

Through existing research and construction cases during tunnel blasting, the electronic blasting method is reported to be more effective in reducing blast vibration than the normal blasting method. However, due to the high price of electronic detonators, they are only used in some blasting sites where security objects are located nearby. Accordingly, this study performed tunnel blasting tests by adjusting the ratio of electronic and non-electronic detonators. And through the research results, the reduction effect of blasting vibration according to the detonator ratio was evaluated. The research results showed that the reduction effect of blast vibration was greatest when 100% electronic detonator was applied. In addition, when more than 52% of the electronic detonator was applied, it was found that the reduction effect was similar to the reduction effect when 100% of the detonator was used.

In this case of "Seongnam~Yeoju double-lanes railroad construction", there were resident houses and gas pipe which were concerned about damages from vibration and noise. Especially, gas pipe which is a diameter of ${\varphi}500mm$ was located under the ground along upside road. The limit of vibration was 1.0cm/sec to protect gas pipe. The electronic blasting systems have been used to control vibration & noise not only gas pipe but also resident houses. The results of tunnelling were successfully conducted with effective vibration control and quick excavation by electronic blasting without any damages to adjacent facilities.

For cautious controlled blasting, it is necessary to understand characteristics of the blasting vibration. In this study, a series of tests were carried out to investigate the several characteristics of blasting vibration waveform by vibration time history analysis. Separation between impulse vibration and free vibration from blasting vibration, duration time, effects of overlap of free vibration upon the level of vibration and changes of waveform according to increase of charge weight per delay etc. were studied with waveform analysis.

The vibration or/and noise generated by blast operations might cause not only structural damage to properties but mentally also to humans and animals. For that reason, maximum permitted vibration and noise levels are set by sensitivities of structures and they are used for the management of blast vibration. It is known that the fish lived in water are more sensitive to vibration than land animals, and thus the adverse impact of the blasting on fish farms should be very concerned. This study investigated the vibration and noise levels at a large eel farm located some 840 meters of the blasting site through the large real-scale experiments of blastings, prior to conducting the actual blasting. As a result, it was found that the noise met the requirement to be within maximum permitted level, while the ground vibration exceeded the permitted vibration. Accordingly, the impact of the excess vibration was investigated by an existing empirical method and verified by a new three dimensional numerical analysis. In this study, such an inspection process was briefly described, and a method was suggested for the examination of possible adverse effects from blasting on vibration-sensitive structures like the eel farm. The study also introduced a design method that controls the blast effects - ground vibration and noise.

발파는 토목, 건설현장이나 광산 등에서 암반에 대한 굴착 방법으로서 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 방법중의 하나이다. 그러나 최근 들어 발파에 의한 진동이나 소음 등의 위해가 사회적 문제로까지 대두하고 있으며, 또한 발파작업에서 작업계획에 대한 결과의 정밀도를 높이기 위하여 조절발파 등 여러 가지 방법들이 연구 발전되어 가고 있는 추세에 있다. 이러한 연구들은 주로 현장 발파작업 및 발파패턴의 설계에 치중되어 있으며 발파모델을 이용한 해석 연구는 다소 미진한 정도이다. (중략)

In the excavation work like blasting/excavator work bordering on the urban railway, the dynamic safety of railway structures like tunnel, open-cut box structure and elevated bridge was investigated by numerical analysis in this study. The practically presented criteria on influential zones at the blasting work in the construction industry was numerically checked in cases of the precise vibration-controlled blasting (type II) and the small scale vibration-controlled blasting (type III) and it was shown that the criteria on blasting work methods needed to be supplemented through continuous field tests and numerical analyses. The influence of excavation vibration by mechanical excavators was especially investigated in case of earth auger and breaker. The numerical analysis of tunnel shows that the criteria on vibration velocities from the regression analysis of field test values was conservative. The amplification phenomenon of excavating vibration velocity was shown passing through the backfilling soil between the earth auger and the open-cut box structure. It was shown that the added-vibration on the superstructure of elevated bridge was occurred at the bottom of pile like earthquake when the excavator vibration was arriving at the pile toe. The systematic and continuous research on the vibration effect from excavating works was needed for the safety of urban railway structures and nearby facilities.

Recently, as a reduction method of vibration and noise, an electronic detonation which has an accuracy of time and a freedom of input delay time was introduced. A waveform composition program can determine a delay time and accomplish simulation under environment similar to real blast using a delay time. In this study, optimum delay time which controls vibration is obtained and real measurement vibration level is estimated by a waveform composition program.
