In this paper the Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion is integrated into the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook (HJC) concrete material model to reflect the inherent characteristics of field rock masses in LS-DYNA blast modeling. This is intended to emphasize the distinctive characteristics of field rock masses that usually have many geological discontinuities. The replacement is made only for the static strength part of the HJC material model by using a statistical curve fitting technique, and its procedure is described in detail. An example is also given to illustrate the use of the obtained HJC material model. Computation is performed for a plane strain model of a single-hole blasting on a field limestone by using the combination of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) technique and the multi-material arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (MMALE) method in LS-DYNA.

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.
