  • Characteristics of vibration propagation of borehole blasting were analyzed with 578 borehole vibration data obtained from 23 sites which were used in tunnel and underground space design, and 221 tunnel vibration data fron 4 sites of tunnel under construction. Analysis results on the damping of vibration velocity show that site factors in borehole blasting were higher than those in tunnel blasting. And the critical charge calculated from regression equations at large scaled distance was lower in borehole blasting. Dominant frequency was in the range of 30∼60Hz for the borehole blasting and 60∼90Hz for the tunnel blasting. As a conclusion, the borehole blasting data should not be used on the tunnel blasting design without careful statistical analysis.

  • Ground vibration caused by blasting in the urban area close to structures can give some indirect damage to human body and may lead to structural damage to buildings. At the stage of design or when complaints were filed by residents, the test blasting in borehole, which is most practical for expressing simple vibration wave form quantitatively, is usually chosen for assessing the degree of damage to structures. In this paper, some lessons gained from the application of electronic detonator triggering system in borehole test blasting are presented. The difference in delay time of detonator when borehole is blasted by electronic detonator and electric detonator are discussed. The peak particle velocities measured at the structure embedded in the similar rock layer to main line of tunnel at test site and measured at the road surface just above the tunnel having different overburden layers were analysed to draw their relationship. By comparing the results with those appearing in some published literatures, the usefulness of the borehole test blasting and the importance of delay time of detonator are addressed.

  • Problems on vibration due to blasting for infrastructure development are getting important because of a civil appeal. Blasting-induced vibration is representative construction pollution, hence, it is possible that a number of environmental damages occur. In this study, borehole test blasting was conducted at Sintanjin area, Daejeon and square root equation with 95% confidence level was proposed for prediction of blasting-induced vibration. The vibration value predicted from this equation was more conservatively evaluated than the values predicted from U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines (USBM) and Nippon Oil & Fats Co., Ltd. (NOF) equations. Therefore, the proposed equation in this study seems to contribute for safety blast design. However, for optimal blast design, inducing equation for prediction of blasting-induced vibration through the identical test blasting with field construction such as rock slope blasting would be required.

  • 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.

  • When emulsion explosives(1kg/cartridge) are loaded into a long vertical borehole at open blasting site, they undergo an Impact corresponding to 117.6J of shock energy. After shocking. the crystallization of emulsion nay happen immediately. Furthermore, it nay cause a desensitization, arising from increase in the density of emulsion explosive by the breakage of sensitizer. In this paper, some experimental work was performed using PVC pipe equipment(50mm diameter and 12m lengths) to investigate the effects of loading impart of emulsion explosive. It is shown that detonation energy decreases up to 26% of the normal state value and this effect is less than 3% of the total performance of emulsion explosives in borehole blasting.

  • In the process of identifying the earth's crust structures to accurately locate the seismic epicenter, man-made earthquakes need to be generated. Such a large-scale ground vibration can be generated by a deep borehole blasting, but it can also accompany some environmental impacts on the surroundings. In this respect, a borehole test blasting was carried out to determine the maximum charge weight that could be used without affecting the various structures around the blast site. Total 400kg of gelatine-type dynamites was used in the test blast. As a result, a prediction equation for ground vibrations was derived from the measured data. With the allowable level of 3.0 mm/s for residential structures, the maximum charge weight was determined to be 677kg if military structures near the site were considered. But if the military structures were not considered, it was found that up to 2100kg of explosives could be used without affecting old houses in the nearby village.

  • In this paper, the blasting load has been calculated using Input Identification method and measured data in borehole blasting to reflect the exact blast behavior and soil vibration. The fitness of calculated blasting load is examined by comparing measured data and results of numerical analysis. According to the results, blasting load estimated by Input Identification method was more adequate than proposed blasting pressure equation in the reflection of blast behavior and soil vibration. In addition, it showed more reasonable results at the evaluation of structure's vibration in the 3D finite element method.

  • In order to determine the amount of explosives that can minimize the vibration generated during tunnel construction using the blasting method, it is necessary to derive the blasting vibration coefficients, K and n, by analyzing the vibration records of trial blasting in the field or under similar conditions. In this study, we aimed to develop a technique that can derive reasonable K and n when trial blasting cannot be performed. To this end, we collected full-scale trial blast data and studied how to predict the blast vibration coefficient (K, n) according to the type of explosive, center cut blasting method, rock origin and type, and rock grade using deep learning (DL). In addition, the correction value between full-scale and borehole trial blasting results was calculated to compensate for the limitations of the borehole trial blasting results and to carry out a design that aligns more closely with reality. In this study, when comparing the available explosive amount according to the borehole trial blasting result equation, the predictions from deep learning (DL) exceed 50%, and the result with the correction value is similar to other blast vibration estimation equations or about 20% more, enabling more economical design.

  • 터널 및 지하공동 설계에 이용된 16개 지역 23개 구간의 578개의 시추공 진동 data와 일반터널 4개 지역으로부터 221개 data를 이용하여 시추공발파의 진동전달 특성을 분석하였다. 시추공발파와 일반발파의 진동속도 감쇠 경향을 비교분석한 결과 시추공발파의 입지상수들이 크게 나타났다. 환산거리 증가에 따른 두 진동식의 최대 허용장약량은 시추공발파가 적었다. 이러한 결과로부터 시추공발파 자료를 터널발파 설계에 사용할 수는 있으나 조심스러운 통계적 처리가 불가피할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Due to certain geological characteristics (high thickness, rocky properties), some underground coal mines require the use of explosives. This paper explores the effects of fragmentation of different decks detonated simultaneously in a single borehole with the use of numerical analysis. ANSYS/LS-DYNA code was used for the implementation of the models. The models include an erosion criterion to simulate the cracks generated by the explosion. As expected, the near-borehole area was damaged by compression stresses, while far zones and the free surface of the boundary were subjected to tensile damage. With the increase of the number of decks in the borehole, different changes in the fracture pattern were observed, and the superposition effects of the stress wave became evident, affecting the fragmentation results. The superposition effect is more evident in close distances to the borehole, and its effect attenuates when the distance to the borehole increase.
