Concerning to Taeku city subway construction project(1-4 site), the original design was adapted NATM Tunnel method to the 8 meter thickness of overburden. Surveyor checked sity and design material and finally decided to change into Open Cut method because overburden is not only below 1 1/2 times thickness of comparate Tunnel width but there is no traffic conjunction in job site.

The messer shield method applys mainly to a tunnel with small cross-section of a weathered soil or weathered rock district and is fulfilled mostly by man-power excavation. but in case that hard rock exposes on tunnel face, incredible is an application of the rock-splitting method using a hydraulic power or a blasting method. This study represents the case of a blasting method which can control to be practiced by the minimum charges of 125 g an initial vibration occurring at the cut instead of the rock-splitting method, even though water pipe and gas pipe are closely adjacent.

The rationalization for Tunnel Drifting is based on the high productivity which is achievable due to Continuous work with a Jumbo Drill, resulting in a much higher efficiency them the Conventional method of blasting, mucking and supporting services. Large projects of over 4,000m Tunnel Drifting are condidated to justify the use of a Jumbo Drill with a combination of superior explosives, machinery and techniques. During a Tunnel Drifting test, Gulita, Nabit and slurry made by Nitro Nobel were employed with following results. 1, Conditions: a. Granite Rock with Two free face b. Burden (W), 2m c.

Blasting methods are frequently used in case of forming slope artificially like slope cutting and open-cut method in the downtown area because of many economical and effective advantages. It is important that blasting work is carried out maintaining original strength of rock and not to damage rock face. And it is also considered that blasting method to decrease ground vibration is essential to the point of blast damages due to the ground vibration. In this study, to form a smooth plane of rock slope face, many trial blasts were carried out in this way that explosives were installed in detonating cord by equal interval in different charging method and stemming method. Using 4 blasting patterns in total 60 blast holes and 20 times of blasts were carried out. At the same time ground vibration measurements were carried out 15~102m away from the blast source, and total number of 310 data were obtained. Measured data for ground vibration velocity were analyzed so as to study blasting method to protect slope plane while decreasing blast vibration in an effective way.

Concussion shots were conducted for SS400, a general structural steel, and SM490, a structural steel for welding, using TNT, which is used as a standard explosive. The ability to cut the steels was compared for different combinations of charges and materials. The results show that the amount of explosives used for SM490 requires more 30% than SS400.

While the construction of dismantling the old industrial complex and restoring the dismantled industrial site to its original natural environment the is underway. In this paper, we introduce a case of dismantling a turbine building which one of the a large steel frame structures in an old industrial complex by applying the progressive collapse method among the blasting demolition methods. We used a charge container that generates a metal jet to cut dismantling the turbine building. The thickness of the steel structure was adjusted to 30 mm or less by applying gouging, which was a method of digging deep grooves by gas and oxygen flames or arc thermal, in the part where the cutting thickness was thick in the blasting section. The total amount of charge used for the blasting of turbine building was 175 kg, 165 electronic detonators and 124 charge containers. As a result of the blasting demolition, the turbine building was collapsed precisely according to the estimated direction. The blasting demolition was completed without causing any damage to the surrounding facilities.

일반적으로 장공발파(長孔發破) 방법(Long hole blasting method)은 그동안 주로 대규모 채탄막장이나 댐 기초굴착, 광산 등에서 행하여져 왔으나 최근 토목터널에서 시공 효율성 및 경제성을 목적으로 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 터널설계 패턴은 I -Type을 기준으로 3.5~3.8m 천공이며 신공법 적용시 최대 4.Om까지 설계되는 것이 보통이었다. 과거 착암장비는 천공장이 늘어남으로서 슬러지에 의한 천공속도가 저하되어 천공비가 증가하기 때문에 빠른 슬러지 배제가 필요하고 Rod의 휨 현상에 의한 천공오차의 증대를 초래할 수 있는 단점이 있었다. 그러나 최근 장비의 발달로 인하여 천공각도 및 천공장 등을 Computer로 모니터링하여 제어할 수 있어 정밀한 천공이 가능하여 졌고 또한, 고성능 에멀젼계 폭약(Super Emulsion)의 개발로 그동안 극 경암터널에서 에멀젼계 폭약의 단점으로 여겨졌던 비 장약량의 증대와 사압현상의 발생, 굴진효율 저하문제론 극복할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 현재 건설중인 대상현장을 중심으로 장공 터널발파의 효율성과 경제성을 분석하고 나아가 암질에 따른 새로운 Type별 설계기준을 마련하는 기초자료로서 활용하고자 하였다. 된 연구의 대상현장은 충북 괴산군 영풍면 소재 중부내륙(여주-구미간) 고속도로 제 9공구 이화터널 건설공사현장으로 $\varphi{102mm}$ 무 장약공 Cylinder 4공을 이용한 심발법을 사용하였으며 천공장은 최대 5.0m로 2000년 11일 15일에서 동년 12월 15일까지 31일간 총 112회의 시험발파를 실시하여 평균 92%의 높은 굴진 효율을 기록하였다.

TNT was blasted on the surface of steel plates and concrete block to study the effect of separation distance between object and charge. The equation of US Army Corps of Engineers turned out to be rather conservative. Effect of separation distance is larger for steel plate than concrete block. Steel plate cannot be cut by standard or more charge in the case of 2 cm separation while the concrete block can be crushed with the same distance.

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.

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.
