Recently, there has been an increasing number of cases of improving constructability by using electronic detonators with precise delay time in tunnel blasting sites. This case is a case of conducting test blasting using with non-electric detonator and electronic detonator at the site of 『Seoul Metropolitan Area Express Railroad Route A Private Investment Project Section 00』 that requires careful management of vibration and noise. Although this site was designed with a non-electric detonator, it was attempted to improve the advance rate and control vibration and noise by mixing the non-electric detonator and the electronic detonator due to the decrease in the advance rate. As a result of the blasting, the target value was achieved with an advance rate of about 85% and a maximum measured value of vibration and noise is 0.215cm/sec and 73.22dB(A) which were measured below regulatory standards. As blasting works in downtown areas, it is necessary to designate measurement and management objects to continuously manage vibration and noise.

This numerical study was intended to evaluate the applicability of the half charge blasting to mining and tunnelling. The half charge blasting is a method that two separate rounds are sequentially blasted for the rock burdens in which long blast holes have already been drilled at one operation. The aim of the method is to decrease the construction cost and period in mining and tunnelling projects as well as to increase the blasting efficiency. Several numerical analyses were conducted by using the Euler-Lagrange solver on ANSYS AUTODYN to identify the effects of the suggested method on the blasting results in underground excavations. The overall performance of the suggested method was also compared to an ordinary blasting method. The analysis model was comprised of the Eulerian parts (explosive, air, and stemming materials) and the Lagrangian parts (rock material). As a result, it was found that, owing to the air decks formed in the bottom parts of the long blast holes, the first round of the suggested method presented a higher shock pressure and particle velocities in the vicinity of the blast holes compared to the ordinary blasting method.

The drill monitoring data are useful for the detection of abrupt and unexpected changes in ground renditions. This paper introduces a new approach to how drill performance parameters can be used for the prediction of quantitative rock mass properties ahead of tunnel face and the blasting design. The drill monitoring parameters available for the predictions include the instantaneous advance speed, thrust force, torque, tool pressure and penetration rate. The assessment of the drill monitoring parameters will be able to build a database provided that in-situ drill monitoring informations are accumulated and enable us to make a reasonable blast design based on quantitative assessment of rock mass.

The underground research tunnel, which is under construction in KAERI for the validation of HLW disposal system, is excavated in a granite rock by drill&blasting. In order not to disturb the operation at the research facilities including Hanara reactor by the blasting for the excavation of $6m{\times}6m$ tunnel, a test blasting at the site was performed. Using the vibration equation derived from the test blasting, it was possible to predict the vibration at different locations at KAERI and to conclude that the blasting design would meet the design criteria at the major facilities in KAERI. The noise and vibration generated by the main blasting were continuously measured. In the case of vibration, the measured values were lower than the predicted one from the vibration equation. It is, therefore, concluded that the influence of blasting work for the construction of 280m long research tunnel on the major facilities in KAERIl would be insignificant.

In general, tunnel construction except for special cases such as very short tunnels must require an artificial ventilation system. Especially, it is efficient for long tunnels to use the combination of a proper ventilation system according to the progress of the excavation. Neung-Dong Tunnel of which length is 4,580m has been originally designed as using ventilation system of blower and exhaust mixture types. Since it has been expected to result in some problems, its design Is analyzed to find the way to improve ventilation system by estimating the amount of required fresh air, considering various ventilation mixture types, ventilation's fluidity analysis and contaminant's distribution by numerical analysis. Economical efficiency for each type is also reviewed to determine the best ventilation system.

Guide line for rock blasting design of the MOCT(Ministry of Construction and Transportation) adopts attenuation equation of du Pont company for blasting vibration. In this paper the validity of the equation is studied by comparing with several equations of Dowding, Devine and author's induced from the domestic vibration data. The equation is inadequately used and predicted values are proved to be underestimated and causes vibration problems.

The present paper highlights some important fragmentation issues experienced in the limestone quarry blast rounds. In light of these major issues, the paper outlines influence of a few important design parameters, which bear merit to alter the blast performance in order to duly resolve the issues in field scale blast rounds. A comprehensive field based program for evaluation of such blast rounds has also been suggested. The knowledge disseminated in the paper, backed up by sufficient images, is largely based on the experience of the authors, while designing, implementing and evaluating numerous field scale blast rounds in cement grade limestone quarries.

영동선 이설사업 일환으로 영동선 동백산역(강원도 태백시 연화동)과 도계역(삼척시 도계읍)간의 본 터널은 총 연장 16.4km인 장대터널로서 전북 완주 전라선 슬치터널(6.12km)보다 10km 이상 길고, 정선 고한과 태백 추전을 잇는 4.5km의 정암터널의 3배가 넘는다. 특히 이 터널은 구간의 높이 차(약 3백80m)를 극복하기 위해 Loop형태로 설계되었고, 열차의 안정성, 구난대피, 환기측면에서 단선병렬 터널로 설계되었다. 또한 불량한 선형과 노후된 터널구조물로 인한 열차 안전운행 저해요인을 해소하기 위해 천공발파공법을 굴착공법으로 채택하였다.
