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.

External charges with four different kinds of tamping materials are tested to determine the effect of tamping on the blasting of steel components and concrete blocks. The tamping materials used are tamping cap, urethane foam, sand bag and mud. As a result, the tamping cap, urethane foam, and sand bag show no significant effect of tamping. But the mud tamping shows that the charge amount can be reduced by more than 20% in completely cutting the structural components. In addition, it is found from the test that the standard equation for calculating the proper charge is rather conservative, which means the equation overestimates the necessary charge for the blasting.

Since blast-induced vibration may cause serious problem to the rock mass as well as the nearby structures, the prediction of blast-induced vibration and the stability evaluation must be performed before blasting activities. Dynamic analysis using measurement vibration waveform which is measured by bore hole blasting or test blasting has been increased recently in order to analyze the effect of the blast-induced vibration. The waveform made by bore hole blasting has the similar vibration level and duration to those the waveform of sing hole has. However, there can be a little difference in attenuation characteristics with the blast induced vibration waveform in the field. Through the superposition modeling of single hole waveform, I obtained the vibration waveform on the blasting condition changes and conducted dynamic analysis using this waveform in this study.

The old technique of sandblasting which has been used for decoration of glass surface has recently been developed into a powder blasting technique for brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramics, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In this study, we introduced oblique powder blasting, and investigated the effect of the impacting angle of particles, the scanning times and the stand-off distance on the surface roughness and the weight-loss rate of samples with no mask, and the wall profile and overetching of samples with different mask pattern in powder blasting of soda-lime glass. The varying parameters were the different impact angles between 50$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$, scanning times of nozzle up to 40 and the stand-off distances 70mm and 100mm. The widths of mask pattern were 0.2mm, 0.5mm and 1mm. The powder was alumina sharp particles, WA #600. The mass flow rate of powder during the erosion test was fixed constant at 175g/min and the blasting pressure of powder at 0.2Mpa.

A new type of cut method, called SK-cut, was developed in order to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional V-cut and Burn-cut blasting methods. Total 190 times of test blasts were performed for the evaluation of the efficiency of new blasting method. V-cut, Burn cut and SK-cut were compared by applying them to the excavation of main gallery and construction tunnel of underground oil storage cavern. Test results showed that excavation efficiency of the new method was increased by 5.9~9.8% and that specific charge was reduced to 71~92%.

One of the critical issues in the coating specification is the allowable limit of surface contaminant(s) - such as soluble salt(s), grit dust, and rust - after grit blasting. Yet, there is no universally accepted data supporting the relationship between the long-term coating performance and the amount of various surface contaminants allowed after grit blasting. In this study, it was attempted to prepare epoxy coatings applied on grit-blasted steel substrate dosed with controlled amount of surface contaminants - such as soluble salt(s), grit dust, and rust. Then, coating samples were subjected to 4,200 hours of cyclic test(NORSOK M-501), which were then evaluated in terms of resistance to rust creepage, blistering, chalking, rusting, cracking and adhesion strength. Additional investigations on the possible damage at the paint/steel interface were carried out using an Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS) and observations of under-film-corrosion. Test results suggested that the current industrial specifications were well matched with the allowable degree of rust, whereas the allowable amount of soluble salt and grit dust after grit blasting showed a certain deviation from the specifications currently employed for fabrication of marine vessels and offshore facilities.

Recently, as the demand for development and utilization of underground space is increasing worldwide, the blast damaged zone has become a major issue in constructing underground structures. In this study, to verify the explosion modelling method for blast-damaged zone (BDZ) around underground cavern, a series of small-scale test blasts was conducted using the concept of momentum trap. According to the test results, the input parameters to the numerical model (ANSYS LS-DYNA) were corrected. It is concluded that the suggested method of miniature blasting and numerical modelling using the MT concept well simulates the velocity of the MT projectile under given conditions.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength between zirconia cores and veneer ceramics as per the sand blasting and liner treatments. Methods: The following 4 groups of zirconia-veneering ceramic specimens were prepared: (1) Group I, untreated; (2) Group II, with 110 ㎛ aluminium oxide (Al2O3) sandblasting; (3) Group III, with liner (IPS e.max ZirLiner; Ivoclar Vivadent); and (4) Group IV, with 110 ㎛ Al2O3 sand blasting and liner. Surface roughness was measured for all the prepared specimens, and the surface morphology was observed using a scanning electron microscope. All the samples (n=40) were fixed with measuring jigs, and shear bond strengths were obtained using a universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The shear bond strength data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and t-test. The post hoc comparison was performed using the Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: A significant difference in the surface roughness was observed between the specimens of groups I and II (p<0.05). Surface treatment with liner and sandblasting showed higher shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneering ceramic (p<0.05). Conclusion: The sand blasting and liner treatment increased the shear bond strength between zirconia core and veneering ceramic.

This area is covered in Andesite of high compression strength and located in PUSAN SEO-KU. There are many old houses around shaft site. So, we must have a cautious blasting operation. A total of 40 blasts were test at DAE-SHIN Shaft site to study the magnitude and frequency characterization of blast-induced vibration. The effect of viblating frequency on structual damage and site-specific scaling to define th empirical equations were also discussed. The result can be summarized as follows: 1. Some empirical equations were obtained. $V=K\{{\frac{D}{W}}1/3\}^{-n}$ where the values for n and K are estimated to be -1.407 to -2.202 and 643.3489 to 7283.2104 respectively. 2. Dominant frequencies at short distance are in the range of about 75.0 to 91.8 Hz, with some exceptions of about 50Hz, Frequencies observed at long distance are in the range of 10 to 2Hz. It is apparent the shift of dominant frequency down to lower levels at long distance.
