This study aims to predict the particle size of blasted rock. For this purpose, Predicted particle sizes were compared with the measured particle sizes at the rock blasting sites, where various blasting patterns which controls the bench height, depth of blasted hole, burden, spacing etc were tested. the difference of mean fragment size between measured and predicted values was 0.11m.

In designing a gravity-type anchorage of earth-anchored suspension bridge, the contact friction between a blasted rock mass and the concrete anchorage plays a key role in the stability of the entire anchorage. Therefore, it is vital to understand the shear behavior of the interface between the blasted rock mass and concrete. In this study, a portable 3D LiDAR scanner was utilized to scan the blasted bottom surfaces, and rock surface roughness was quantitatively analyzed from the scanned profiles to apply to 3D FEM modelling. In addition, based on the 3D FEM model, a three-dimensional dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA-3D) technique was applied to study on the shear behavior of the interface between blasted rock and concrete through direct shear tests, which was analyzed under constant normal load (CNL). The effects of normal stress and the joint roughness on shear failure behavior are also analyzed.

The investigation of the fragmentation of blasted rocks is particularly important because it is a measure of the blast efficiency. The degree of fragmentation has a major effect on the efficiency of the loading and crushing operations. Getting such an information on the large pile of blasted rock is not an easy operation. This paper presents the results of case study to evaluate the performance of two types of tunnel blasting: V-cut and burn cut. The digital images of muckpiles were analyzed to produce size distribution and it was compared with those of predictive equations.

A large scale blasting is necessary for the construction or road, harbor or ground foundation of building and it is common that the blasting work is performed by a specialist subcontracted from the construction company who is originally responsible for the project. Sometimes the latter do not agree with the former in total amount of blasted rock. They try to find out real work amount as precisely as possible. The estimation is sometimes carried out by an entrusted person when it is impossible to come to an agreement with each other. There are several methods in estimating the blasted rock volume; a calculation by prescribed equivalents of explosive before construction, a calculation by specific charge per unit volume of rock, and a calculation by rock volume per detonator. In this study, the last method is reviewed and recommended as most reliable one.

To maintain the traffic flow during tunnel expansion, cars must be protected from falling rocks during excavation and to do so, a protector has to be installed inside the tunnel before beginning the excavation. In Korea, tunnel expansion by blasting rather than by mechanical excavation has been widely achieved. For this reason, a series of numerical analysis were performed to analyze the characteristics of impact load according to material behaviour of blasted rock by using Explicit FEA program. From the numerical results, it is found that the impact loads when rock is assumed as an elastic-plastic material appear to be only 7~12% compared with that when it is elastic.

In Analysis of Fragmentation of rock blasted, The photo analysis method has been mainly used and these image acquisitions are mainly obtained by digital image from the front of the crushed rock. However, Image analysis is basically advantage of the image of planar shooting not front shooting but There is no way to take a photograph of huge plane rock slope. Thus, Unavoidably It is resolved by distorting or extending the image filmed at the front as well as adjusting it similar to its angle of plane shooting. Lately, With advancing unmanned aerial vehicle, It can simply image the fragment conditions of blasted rock of a high-definition digital image and Through it, It can acquire the most planar image to angle which accumulate cataclastic rock and also can make image analysis. In this study, It has been confirmed that tolerance value of analysis result of image filmed flatly is markedly lower than the existing front filmed image.

The cut is placed high up in the section, the 1st sloping holes below the cut, and divided all the holes located below the 1st sloping holes into a certain area with longitudinal section, to lower pollution made from tunnel blasting. With the sequential blasting machine, after I first blasted holes around the cut holes by a pre-splitting method, blasted the cut area and the 1st sloping holes. The 1st and 2nd sloping holes divided areas are initiated gradually to free face upwards made by the cut. Especially, I pre-splinted contour holes previous blast the before sloping holes from the contours. The ground vibration from the earth surface just over the advance face decreased about 42.0% compare with the down blasting method under the condition of equal charge weight per delay. I controlled the crack and over break of the mother rock by pre-splitting contour holes before blast the first sloping holes from the contours. The peak values of noise and air blast by blasting decreased about 10dB more than the down blasting method. the noise and air blast diminished gradually as a round. The throw distance of the fly rock was decreased about 55%.

Shear characteristics of quarry blasted rocks were compared using large scale direct shear tests and triaxial tests. For comparison purpose, similar test conditions were simulated as much as possible and three types of relative density (50%, 70%, 90%) were employed for the test. Results indicate that stress-strain behavior shows the same trend for two tests, but the measured shear strengths differ for the different test ms and depends on the relative density. At low relative density, the internal friction angles from direct shear test are smaller than those from triaxial tests. However, at high relative density, this phenomenon is reversed.

The optimum blasting pattern to excavate a quarry efficiently and economically can be determined based on the minimum production cost, which is generally estimated according to rock fragmentation. Therefore, it is a critical problem to predict fragment size distribution of blasted rocks over an entire quarry. By comparing various prediction models, it can be ascertained that the result obtained from Kuz-Ram model relatively coincides with that of field measurements. Kuz-Ram model uses the concept of rock factor to signify conditions of rock mass such as block size, rock jointing, strength and others. For the evaluation of total production cost, it is imperative to estimate 3-D spatial distribution of rock factor for the entire quarry. In this study, a sequential indicator simulation technique is adopted for estimation of spatial distribution of rock factor due to its higher reproducibility of spatial variability and distribution models than Kriging methods. Further, this can reduce the uncertainty of predictor using distribution information of sample data. The entire quarry is classified into three types of rock mass and optimum blasting pattern is proposed for each type based on 3-D spatial distribution of rock factor. In addition, plane maps of rock factor distribution for each ground level are provided to estimate production costs for each process and to make a plan for an optimum blasting pattern.
