In this study, the influence of priming location inside a blast hole on the ground vibration has been studied. In most of the previous studies dealing with the ground vibration, the effect of priming location in a blast hole was usually considered in a limited way. Thus, it seems that the results of the studies can be applicable only to the relevant sites. Considering the fact that the mechanism of ground vibration caused by blasting is quite complex, the priming location can have a considerable effect on the ground vibration in certain situations and be an important parameter in a blasting design. To identify the characteristics of the wave propagation according to priming locations, total 72 test blasts were carried out with different spacing, burden, drilling length, and charge, and prediction equations were derived. The characteristics of ground vibration, which was changed according to the priming location, was analyzed by using the nomogram of peak particle velocity (PPV) record. Attenuation relations, which were also dependent on the priming location, were analyzed. In this case, four different amounts of charge, that is, 0.5, 1.6, 5, and 15 kg, were used for the test. This criterion of charge amount is specified in the "Blasting design and construction guidelines to road construction" by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs of Korea.
기폭위치가 지반진동에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구들을 살펴보면 발파진동의 복합적인 원인에 반하여 단편적인 연구로 진행되거나 적용범위가 연구가 이루어진 해당 현장만으로 국한적으로 나타나며 발파설계 인자로서 이용되는 데 한계를 보였다. 이에 본 연구는 기폭위치에 따라 발파진동의 전파 특성을 파악하기 위해서 공간격, 저항선, 천공장 그리고 장약량 등을 달리하여 총 72회의 단일공 시험발파를 실시하여 발파진동 예측식을 도출하였다. 도출된 발파진동 예측식으로부터 기폭위치에 따른 최대입자속도의 노모그램 분석을 통해 진동특성을 규명하였다. 또한, 국토해양부의 "도로공사 노천발파 설계 시공 지침"에 제시된 표준발파공법의 공법별 경계 기준 장약량인 0.5, 1.6, 5, 15kg을 적용하여 기폭위치별 진동 감쇄경향을 비교 분석하여 발파설계의 인자로 사용할 수 있도록 제안하였다.
