The paper presents a case study of a limestone quarry of the Philippines, where major problems in terms of improper fragmentation, poor wall control, and poor heave of the muck pile were witnessed. The paper highlights the significant role of switching over from diagonal firing pattern to V-type firing pattern, and also of making suitable adjustments in the stemming column length for improved confinement and gas retention. The study revealed that by making aforesaid design modifications in the blast round, marked improvement in blasting results was registered. Looking at the results, it was further contemplated to expand the mesh area in the subsequent blast rounds. The mesh area was incremented from the existing $8.96m^2$ to $12m^2$. The results were meticulously registered in the field, and clearly depicted definite improvements in the blast results in terms of increased P.F., reduced boulder count, reduced FEL cycle time, reduced dozing hours and improved heave.

국내 발파 현장에서 사용되고 있는 폭약류에 강력한 폭굉력을 충분하게 발휘하기 위해서는 뇌관(Blasting cap, Detonator)의 역할이 중요하다. 그리고 이 뇌관의 정밀성에 따라 발파 효율의 차이가 있게된다. 초기의 도화선 및 공업뇌관에서 시작하여 현재 정밀성 면에서는 MS(Milli Second)뇌관의 경우 20ms또는 25ms의 정밀한 시차로 순차적으로 기폭함으로써 발파효과의 극대화와 소음 및 진동제어에 큰 효과를 이루었으나, 최근 개발된 진자뇌관의 경우 자체 IC회로를 내징하여 $1{\sim}2ms$의 초정밀시차(오차범위 $0.1{\sim}0.2ms$이내)의 구현이 가능해짐에 따라 이를 적절히 조합하여 설계함으로써 각종 제어발파, 파쇄도 향상, 암손상영역 저감 등의 효과에 대해 국외에서 연구가 진행되고 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 그러나 우리나라와 같이 도심지 발파 및 터널이나 노천 현장 근거리에 보안물건이 위치해 있어 진동제어가 절실히 필요한 상황에서 진동제어에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 전자뇌관에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있지 않은 상황에서 본 연구는 앞으로 이루어질 전사뇌관에 대한 수많은 연구에 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 국내에서 최초로 2003년 9월 23일 강원도 양구 지역읜 00터널에 전자뇌관을 이용한 시험발파를 실시하였고, 발파에 의한 진동 등을 조사하여 그 효율성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전자뇌관의 특성과 장점을 최대한 살리기 위하여 각공을 발파하는 방식, 즉 1지발에 1공을 발파하는 방식을 채택하고 비전기 뇌관과 전자뇌관으로 설계를 하여 각각의 발파효율을 비교하여 보았다. 그 결과 발파신동의 경우 비전기뇌관을 이용하여 1공씩을 1지발로 발파를 한 경우에는 18${\sim}$56%의 진동저감 효과가 있었고, 번 설계에 의해 진해오딘 발파에 비하여는 최대 70% 이상의 진동저감 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

An explosion modeling technique was developed by using the spherical discrete element code, PFC3D, which can be used to model the dynamic stress wave propagation phenomenon. The modeling technique is simply based on an idea that the explosion pressure should be applied to a PFC3D particle assembly not in the form of an external force (body force), but in the form of a contact force (surface force). According to this concept, the explosion pressure is applied to the wall particles by the scheme of radius expansion/contraction of inner-hole particles. The output wall force is compared to the input hole pressure in every time step, and a correction routine is activated to control the radius multiplier of the inner-hole particles. A comparative blast simulation far a cement mortar block of $80\times90\times80mm$ was conducted by using the conventional explosion modeling method and the new one. The results of the simulation are presented in a qualitative fashion.

Progressive collapse is generally defined as a local failure of structural members occurring due to abnormal load which results in the partial collapse or total collapse of a structure. Unlike progressive collapse, explosive demolition is a method of inducing the total collapse of structure by removing all or portion of structural members. In explosive demolition the partial collapse of the structural members can be controlled at appropriate time intervals by blasting, to induce the progressive collapse of the structure and control the collapse behavior. In this study, a nonlinear dynamic analysis was carried out in order to apply the progressive collapse process to explosive demolition design of the RC structure. The occurrence of progressive collapse of analytical models was examined according to the number of floors, the removed column height and span length. For models that resisted progressive collapse, progressive collapse resisting capacity was evaluated.

Composite resin repair requires strong bond strength between the new and old materials. The objective of the current study was to identify the optimal treatments for sufficient bond strengths. Bondings between same kinds of materials and cross bondings using chemical curing composites and light curing composites were tested. Surface treatments included the methods of sand-blasting, acid etching and coating of bonding agent. Seven kinds cases of combinations from three kinds of methods were experimented and compared with a control group of which surfaces were highly polished. Measurements of shear bond strength and observations of surface morphologic changes using a scanning electron microscope were done. Following conclusions were drawn : 1. The highest bond strength among composite resins were exhibited by the treatment of the sand-blasting and the coating of bonding agent. 2. Acid etched surfaces showed the lowest bond strength. Bond strengths obtained from experimental groups including acid etching were lower than those obtained from same kinds of experimental groups without acid etching. 3. Simple method of the coating of bonding agent produced the slightly increased bond strength on chemical curing composite and reduced bond strength on light curing composite. 4. Bonding surfaces of chemical curing composite resin showed slightly higher bond strengths than light curing composite resin, however significant differences were not confirmed statistically. 5. More significant irregular surfaces were created by sand-blasting method than acid etching method. 6. A principal component of fillers of both resins was silicon. Acid etching method produced the seperations and degradations of fillers, these were significant on light curing composite resins which containing barium fillers.

Recently, the pile driving or blasting works are increasingly done in many areas to perform large scale construction projects. The vibrations from these blasting works may affect the properties of concrete, especially young concrete. The purpose of present study is to explore the effects of vibration at early ages on the properties of concrete. To this end, comprehensive experimental study is conducted in the present study. The major test variables are peak particle velocity or vibration velocity and the age at vibration. The compressive strengths and bond strengths are measured for all the specimens at 28days after casting. The duration of vibration is fixed to 30 minutes for all cases. The results indicate that the strength increases for vibration velocity less than about 0.25cm/sec and decreases for vibration velocity larger than 0.5cm/sec. The effect of age at vibration is not pronounced and shows almost similar behavior for the age at vibration of 0 to 12 hours range. The present study provides some important guidelines to control the construction or vehicle vibrations for the concrete at very early ages.

In tunneling and road cuts by blasting, it is of the utmost importance that the remaining rock is of high quality in order to avoid rockfall, rockslides and excessive maintenance work. Therefore, numerous blasting techniques which make use of decoupled charge or shock wave superposition effect have been used to control overbrake. In this paper. some approximate method for the determination of blast load according to the charge condition was introduced at first and, instrumented tests were conducted in small scale transparent material to investigate the shape and amplitude of blast load around the bore hole. Compare to the fully coupled charge, low amplitude of blast load around the bore hole was observed in the decoupled charge and explosion gas pressure was important in the shape of blast load. Therefore, quasi-static behaviour of the crack pattern was shown due to low loading rate.

Experimental blast studies were carried out in a limestone quarry to study the effects of blasting on structures. To have an in-depth understanding of the possible relation between parameters like vibrations, frequency and scale distance and ten trial blast were conducted. 29 monitoring stations were located in such a pattern to give a true representation of blast induced vibrations for the entire mining in this area. The vibrations were monitored in the vicinity of structures surrounding the quarry in the direction towards the village, road, railway line, office building, etc. Scale distances were determined to identify the maximum charge permissible to cause damage to structures.
