This study improved constructability and cost efficiency that are disadvantages of existing a mechanical excavation & similar blasting methods(plasma, gel, etc) and introduced cases of development and practical applications of Low vibration explosives(LoVEX) that minimizes blast vibration. The low vibration explosives(LoVEX) is suitable to Type-1 in standard blasting patterns of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) and delay blasting is possible. Moreover, the low vibration explosives improve construction and work efficiency while the level of vibration is reduced to about 60~70% of normal emulsion explosives. Additionally, this study suggested standard blasting patterns, the prediction equation of blasting vibration, and construction methods.

The defoliation velocity is tile rate of propagation of a detonation in an explosive. An explosive's velocity of defoliation(VOD) can be used to indicate a number of important characteristics regarding the product's performance under specific field and test conditions. Also, it is useful quality monitoring technique and call be measured accurately and easily at borehole and testing sites. This paper discusses the relevance of the detonation velocity of explosives in blasting. Attempts were made to classify detonation velocities and offer an interpretation of blasting process which will be useful to blasting engineers. But it was found that there is not necessarily a direct relationship between defoliation velocity and explosive quality or efficiency.

Methods of Rock fragmentation are used rock of housing repair development at KU-SAN DONG area in seoul Youn-Pyong Ku. So, Theorical analyses of the effect of vibration and frequency on structural damage around old housed also discussed. The results can be summarized as follows: 1. A area(Rock area not more than 15m Ku-San Mention) Some Empirical equations were obtained $V=K\{{\frac{D}{W}}1/3\}^{-n}$ where the values for n and K are estimated to be -1.64 and 94 respectively, this values were obtained only theorical analyses. If we have 125g charge this area is impossible blasting operation, so this area must be worked by SRS(Super Rock Splitter) method. 2. B area(Rock area from 15m to 25m in a boundary line from Ku-San Mention) This area charge is about 125g in a delay time by some empirical equation s. So, this area can be blasting operations by small charge. 3. C area(Rock area from 25m to 35m in a boundary line from Ku-San Mention) This area charge is about 500g in delay time by some empirical equation s. So, this area can be blasting operations by middle charge. 4. D area(Rock area more then 35m in a boundary line from Ku-San Mention) This area charge is about 1000g in a delay time by some empirical equation s. So, this area can be blasting operations by middle charge.

The propagation mechanism of a detonation pressure with fully coupled charge is clarified and the blasting pressure propagated in rock mass is derived from the application of shock wave theory. Probabilistic distribution is obtained by using explosion tests on emulsion and rock property tests on granite in Seoul and then the probabilistic distribution of the blasting pressure is derived from their properties. The probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties show a normal distribution so that the blasting pressure propagated in rock can be also regarded as a normal distribution. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the blasting pressure and it was found that the detonation velocity is the most sensitive parameter. Moreover, uncertainty analysis was performed to figure out the effect of each parameter uncertainty on the uncertainty of blasting pressure. Its result showed that uncertainty of natural rock properties constitutes the main portion of blasting pressure uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties.

In this study, the machinability of sapphire glass is tested using the powder blasting method under various blasting conditions. The thickness and diameter of the sapphire glass samples were 0.4 mm and 50.8 mm (2 inch), respectively. The machined patterns from each sample were a circle, a square, and a rectangle. The powder we used was GC #400 and #800. The blasting pressures of the powders were 2, 4, and 6 bar. The scanning time of the nozzle was 20 and the scanning speeds of the nozzle were 80, 100, and 120 mm/s. Experimental results showed that machining depths increased in proportion to blasting pressure. The machining depth of GC #800 was much higher than that of GC #400, while surface roughness was worst with GC #400. These results imply that the blasting pressure and size of the blasting powder are the most important parameters for machining sapphire glass.

Drilling operation for blasting is an important factor to determine blast effect. Drilling errors that arise from performing drilling for blasting purposes can reduce blasting effect causing residual holes, overbreak, and heterogeneous fragmentation, etc. Automatic drilling system was induced for precise drilling. As a result, drilling error caused by spaces between holes and burden was minor at 0~2.6% and accordingly, blasting effect was improved with over 90% drilling rate, the ratio of overbreak amount to total drilling amount at 4.3%, proportion of fragmentation rock under 50cm at 89~95% and so from this analyses, it was estimated to reduce the total cycle times related to blasting process.

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.

This paper introduce a multistage parallel non-vibration electronic tunnel blasting cases which adapts Electronic Blasting System(EBS) and the center-cut blasting method to excavating a single line railway tunnel close to residential area. As a result, it was revealed that the vibration and noise showed a reduction of 23.5% and 75% of compared with the allowable standard. We successfully completed the tunnel excavation with decreasing construction time and construction cost and without civil compliant.
