It was designed as the mechanical excavation mass method on 176m because the safety thing is located around the site. But low-vibration blasting using an electronic detonator was proposed to improve constructability and economy. As a result of the suggestion blasting, both blasting noise and vibration were safe within the allowable limit, confirming the applicability of low-vibration blasting using an electronic detonator to the section. And compared with the mechanical mass excavation method, an economic evaluation was conducted about the section, and it was evaluated that there was an economic advantage as the construction period was reduced by 88 days.

Recently, in order to achieve smooth fracture plane and minimize the excavation damage zone in rock blasting, controlled blasting methods which utilize new technologies such as electronic delay detonator (EDD) and a notched charge hole have been suggested. In this study, smooth blastings utilizing three wing type notched charge holes are simulated to investigate the influence of explosive initial density on the resultant fracture plane and damage zone using dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) code. Finally, based on the dynamic fracture process analyses, novel smooth blasting method, ED-Notch SB (Electronic Detonator Notched Charge Hole Smooth Blasting) is suggested.

When blasting by imposing the time difference between two adjacent charge holes, the mutual interference phenomenon occurs depending the feature of blast. This interference phenomenon of blast amplifies or compensates the blast-induced vibration depending on the overlapping mechanism. Thus, this experiment aims at finding out the optimum delay time by measuring the blast vibration data from the single hole blast during the blasting test and composing each blasting waveform, and at proving the its efficiency by applying the composition delay time in the entire cross section. The experiment showed that the blasting-induced vibration was reduced by endowing an optimum delay time of electronic detonator appropriate to the rock quality of construction site compared to the typical delay time (20, 25ms) of existing detonator (non-electric and electric detonator). From these results, the excavation efficiency using blasting could be enhanced..

The measures for environmental regulations have become more strict over the recent years. Due to vibration and noise arising from blasting, every site that chooses to handle explosives has to be under certain restrictions in its use. Especially a site where a safety thing is situated within close proximity, the chosen method is through mechanical excavation. However, various applications of electronic detonators has made blasting possible where mechanical excavation used to be the only alternative. Hanwha Corporation has developed an electronic detonator, $HiTRONIC^{TM}$, which is an advanced fourth-generation detonator with a high accuracy of delay time(0.01%). At this moment, $HiTRONIC^{TM}$ is widely used in highway and railway construction sites, large limestone quarries, and many other blasting sites where blasting had not been an available option before. In this paper, I would like to introduce a case study on construction of utilizing $HiTRONIC^{TM}$ at a large-scale tunnel site.

This study is using electronic-delay system detonator which can input an accurate detonating delay, compare predicted blasting vibration level derived from vibration 3D modelling with real measured blasting vibrations, and then considered modelling results are able to apply blast design. It confirmed there are certain relations between modelling and real vibration data, so modelling prediction method also can be apply design various blast conditions and prediction equation of blast vibration.

Electronic detonators are widely used in various construction sites due to accurate delay time. Including the cases with exceeded noise and vibration from site using electric/non-electric detonator, electronic detonators are used to improve blast fragmentation or to reduce the cost of secondary partial blasting. Furthermore, the number of cases using electronic detonators are increased for reduction of the cost and construction period by maximizing operations efficiency. This case study is about applying electronic detonators on large section station, tunnel construction site which is the part of urban area GTX A project. Although it was initially planned to utilize non-electric detonators, damage was inflicted on safety-thing. We have considered blasting method using electronic detonators as solution of this problem. By applying electronic detonators, we not only satisfied environmental regulations but also prevented nearby safety-thing from getting damaged. In addition, we were able to shorten the construction period than the initial plan by conducting single simultaneous blasting on large section station, in order to ensure safe and efficient construction.

The overall management for explosives in domestic and regulation for blasting is managed by the control Act of guns, sword, explosives etc. On the details for handling and method, delivery, storage, use and management for explosives and work safety for the accident prevention is recommended to the related business site through Standard safety work guideline of blasting which set by safety & health 27 Act handling. In this study, It reviews the standard safety work guideline of blasting notified by Ministry of employment & labor. We propose the new products introduced into domestic explosives market, definition of explosives word when the newest blasting technology is revised, emulsion explosives, bulk explosives and electronic detonators which increased in the latest. Indeed, We propose a typical handling method of non-electric detonator and electronic in order to make the renewed Standard safety work guideline of Blasting on work guideline.

Recently, the residence complaints have been increased by blast vibration and noise issue due to increased urban blasting works so that the trouble between construction company and residence have been continuously increased. Deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonator provided not only blast vibration and noise control but also minimized residence complaints through shortening of the blasting period. This blasting method will be widely used for maximizing urban blasting productivity.

Electronic detonators are now widely used in various construction sites and quarry mines. Including the sites where safety-thing is located nearby, Cases of using electronic detonators are increasing to maximize operational efficiency by improving blast fragmentation or reducing the cost of secondary blasting. This case study is about applying for electronic detonators on zone 00 construction site, which is the part of urban area metropolitan express rail A line project. Although the project was initially planned to utilize non-electric detonators, Electronic detonators are considered as the solution not only for safe and fast excavation, but also to minimize civil complaint and the damage of safety-thing. By applying electronic detonators, we were able to satisfy environmental regulations standards and prevent nearby safety-thing from getting damaged.
