화약의 힘을 결정하는 요인은 폭속, 가스량, 폭발열등이 있다. 이중 폭속은 화약의 힘을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 이러한 폭속을 결정하는 조건은 화약내 구성성분에 따라서 달라진다. 그러나 동일한 화약조성일 경우 폭발속도는 공기중과 같은 개방상태, 천공 내와 같은 밀폐상태에서 차이가 있을 것이며, 또한 이론상 약경, 장전밀도, 뇌관의 위력, 장전방법 등에 의해 지배를 받는다고 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 산업용화약류를 대상으로 상기의 조건들을 달리하여 폭속을 측정하고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 실제 폭약의 폭속에 영향을 미치는 조건을 찾아내고 이러한 조건의 변화에 따라 폭속이 어떻게 변화는 지를 알아보고자 한다.

Explosive blasting utilizes the energy produced from the explosion of explosive materials. Since the black powder, the first type of explosive, was invented, various types of explosives have been developed until a recent emulsion explosive which is powerful as well as safe in use. The detonators continue to be developed from safety fuse to the recent electronic detonators which allow extremely accurate and flexible control of delay time. However, the good explosives and detonators do not always lead to the good blast results. It entirely depends on the blast engineer. It is necessary to develop the empirical or theoretical models based on the field experience and sound theoretical algorithm. Such models would be very useful for blast design and, furthermore, provide the idea of further technical development. This paper introduces some models used in explosive blasting and attention to be paid for field application.

A TBM launching shaft in DTL2 Contract 915 site is located in a typical hard Bukit Timah granite formation and lots of blasting work is required for shaft sinking. The original blast design used the electric detonator and ANFO blasts consisting of 30 holes per one blast with 1.5 m depth of drilling hole. However, significant delay of work and poor progress were expected due to the limitation of the number of blasting hole and strict vibration regulation on retaining systems. To overcome such constraints, an efficient new blasting method which can improve productivity and satisfy vibration limit was required. The revised blast design, using triple-deck blasts with electronic detonators and cartridge emulsion explosives, gives better construction performance and can reduce construction time. Such a new blasting technique can be effectively used for similar underground projects in the future where the volume of rock blasting is significant.

In this study, a charging density has been differently applied to all holes to improve an excavated length per round on excavating a tunnel in quartzite mine and to prevent a dead pressure phenomena and sintering phenomena. A composition initiating system using simultaneously a direct initiating system and a indirect initiating system with 2 detonators in one hole has been introduced to cut holes. As a bottom part which is difficult to make a free face are charged with a higher charging density and a column part are charged with a lower charging density, the composition charging and initiating system which the power of explosives works effectively in the rock mass is developed. As the results, a dead pressure phenomena and a sintering phenomena being often produced in a hard rock or in a long hole could be prevented. Besides, the workability was improved by about 15% and the specific charge was reduced to about 20%, as an excavated length vs. a drilled length per round could be increased over 95%.
