Through existing research and construction cases during tunnel blasting, the electronic blasting method is reported to be more effective in reducing blast vibration than the normal blasting method. However, due to the high price of electronic detonators, they are only used in some blasting sites where security objects are located nearby. Accordingly, this study performed tunnel blasting tests by adjusting the ratio of electronic and non-electronic detonators. And through the research results, the reduction effect of blasting vibration according to the detonator ratio was evaluated. The research results showed that the reduction effect of blast vibration was greatest when 100% electronic detonator was applied. In addition, when more than 52% of the electronic detonator was applied, it was found that the reduction effect was similar to the reduction effect when 100% of the detonator was used.
