The defoliation velocity is tile rate of propagation of a detonation in an explosive. An explosive's velocity of defoliation(VOD) can be used to indicate a number of important characteristics regarding the product's performance under specific field and test conditions. Also, it is useful quality monitoring technique and call be measured accurately and easily at borehole and testing sites. This paper discusses the relevance of the detonation velocity of explosives in blasting. Attempts were made to classify detonation velocities and offer an interpretation of blasting process which will be useful to blasting engineers. But it was found that there is not necessarily a direct relationship between defoliation velocity and explosive quality or efficiency.

Explosive blasting utilizes the energy produced from the explosion of explosive materials. Since the black powder, the first type of explosive, was invented, various types of explosives have been developed until a recent emulsion explosive which is powerful as well as safe in use. The detonators continue to be developed from safety fuse to the recent electronic detonators which allow extremely accurate and flexible control of delay time. However, the good explosives and detonators do not always lead to the good blast results. It entirely depends on the blast engineer. It is necessary to develop the empirical or theoretical models based on the field experience and sound theoretical algorithm. Such models would be very useful for blast design and, furthermore, provide the idea of further technical development. This paper introduces some models used in explosive blasting and attention to be paid for field application.

This study improved constructability and cost efficiency that are disadvantages of existing a mechanical excavation & similar blasting methods(plasma, gel, etc) and introduced cases of development and practical applications of Low vibration explosives(LoVEX) that minimizes blast vibration. The low vibration explosives(LoVEX) is suitable to Type-1 in standard blasting patterns of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) and delay blasting is possible. Moreover, the low vibration explosives improve construction and work efficiency while the level of vibration is reduced to about 60~70% of normal emulsion explosives. Additionally, this study suggested standard blasting patterns, the prediction equation of blasting vibration, and construction methods.

This study improved construction and cost efficiency that are disadvantages of existing low vibration crackers(low vibration cracker, plasma, etc) and introduced cases of development and practical applications of Low vibration explosives(NewFINECKER) that minimizes blast vibration. The low vibration explosives(NewFINECKER) is suitable to Type-1 among standard blasting patterns of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) and delay blasting is possible. Moreover, the low vibration explosives improve construction and work efficiency while the level of vibration is shown to be about 60~70% of normal emulsion explosives. Additionally, this study suggested standard blasting patterns, the prediction equation of blasting vibration, and construction methods.
