Before blasts that can have direct impacts on human bodies or structures, it is necessary to assess impacts of ground vibration. Therefore, frequency has been recognized as an important factor in order to assess impact on ground vibration and damages. There have been many studies on impacts of frequency. But, there have been no studies on relations between vibration and frequency according to delay time difference. In this study, we examined the relations between delay time difference and frequency according to each frequency with which reinforcement and destructive intervention repeat through delay time difference obtained using superposition modeling of single hole blasting waveform based on the theory of time difference developed by Langefors.

Controlled tunnel blasting by deck charge was suggested and simulated by PFC and FEM analyses. Analyzed results showed that suggested method is efficient in fragmentation and able to decrease in vibration level because of decreased amount of charge per delay and dispersion of deck charge. This phenomena was explained by failure mechanism and proved that it can be successfully applied to tunnel blasting.

For cautious controlled blasting, it is necessary to understand characteristics of the blasting vibration. In this study, a series of tests were carried out to investigate the several characteristics of blasting vibration waveform by vibration time history analysis. Separation between impulse vibration and free vibration from blasting vibration, duration time, effects of overlap of free vibration upon the level of vibration and changes of waveform according to increase of charge weight per delay etc. were studied with waveform analysis.

Test blasting has been performed with V-cut to investigate the characteristics. Blasting vibrations were measured at two directions, the proceed direction and side direction. Propagation characteristics were determined by regression analysis; square root scaled distance and cube root scaled distance with maximum charge per delay of the blast. Testing result, The cross point was 62m in the allowable vibration velocity of 3mm/sec and 46m In 5mm/sec. Also, vibration level with measuring point was highest and decayed fastest, adapting to cube root scaled distance, for the proceed direction on ground.

Recently, Electronic Detonators have gradually increased their performance for various purposes such as vibration control and improved Fragmentation. This study analyzed the vibration estimation equations of electric and electronic detonator blast by comprehensive analysis of the vibration data collected during electric and electronic detonator blast waves at the comparison sites of urban areas, geology and soil conditions, stone quarries and mines in different areas of Korea from June 2017 to December 2018. It has been confirmed that electronic detonator blast can meet the criteria for allowing vibration even if maximum charge weight per delay is increased by 1.5 times compared to the electric detonator blast.

The existence of shallow bedrock and the desire to use underground space necessitate the use of blasting methods. The standard blasting method under water after drilling is associated with certain technical difficulties, including reduced detonation power, the use of a fixed charge per delay, and decoupling. However, there is no blasting method to replace the existing blasting method. In this paper, a dry hole charged with ANFO blasting is assessed while employing a dry hole pumping system to remove water from the drill borehole. Additional standard blasting is also utilized to compare the blasting performances of the two methods. The least-squares linear regression method is adopted to analyze the blasting vibration velocity quantitatively using the measured vibration velocity for each blasting method and the vibration velocity model as a function of the scaled distance. The results show that the dry hole charged with ANFO blasting will lead to greater damping of the blasting vibration, more energy dissipation to crush the surrounding rock, and closer distances for the allowable velocity of the blasting vibration. Also, standard blasting shows much longer influencing distances and a wider range of the blasting pattern. The pilot test confirms the blasting efficiency of dry hole charged with ANFO blasting.

On the foundation work of Po-Ryong power plant #3 & #4. It was 30meters away from the running states of #1 & #2 plant site. In order to protect the #1 & #2 power plant facilities & factory structure. Allowable vibration was required below 0.07 gal. Therefore, it had to set up the anti-vibration trench to reduce the vibration reference and secondary. I applied the low gravity and low velocity explosives with M/S delay caps by cautious blasting pattern.

A TBM launching shaft in DTL2 Contract 915 site is located in a typical hard Bukit Timah granite formation and lots of blasting work is required for shaft sinking. The original blast design used the electric detonator and ANFO blasts consisting of 30 holes per one blast with 1.5 m depth of drilling hole. However, significant delay of work and poor progress were expected due to the limitation of the number of blasting hole and strict vibration regulation on retaining systems. To overcome such constraints, an efficient new blasting method which can improve productivity and satisfy vibration limit was required. The revised blast design, using triple-deck blasts with electronic detonators and cartridge emulsion explosives, gives better construction performance and can reduce construction time. Such a new blasting technique can be effectively used for similar underground projects in the future where the volume of rock blasting is significant.
