This paper is the analysis of the relationship between RQD and decay constant, blasting vi bration constant of cube root scaling and square root scaling, through experimental blast ins test in subway construction for excavation of shaft hole by bottom blasting. The magnitude of particle velocity is largely effected by the distance from blasting source, the maximum charge per delay and the properties of ground. In order to verify the effects of ground properties on blast-induced vibration, the relation-ship between magnitude of blasting vibration and Rock Quality Disignation which stands for joint property was studied. The results of test are verified that blasting vibration constant "K" and the absolute value("n") of decay constant relatively increse as RQD increased. According to the result, it can be predict the particle velocity by the blast -induced vibration in bottom blasting pattern.om blasting pattern.

Many blasting engineers develope their own approach to define how to blast different rockmass properties. The problem is that most of these approaches haven't been formalized in any systematic manner and they depend mainly on casual observation of local conditions by an experienced blaster. In this paper blastability index developed by Lilly is adopted to induce powder factor for blast design considering local conditions. With this approach blastability scheme can be considered joint properties as well as rockmass represented local conditions. This approach is also expected to supplement the shortcomings of existing blast design approaches.

파쇄 암석의 파쇄도는 발파효율을 나타내는 중요 척도로서 적재와 분쇄 작업에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 현장에 쌓여 있는 발파암 더미로부터 파쇄도를 조사한다는 것은 용이한 작업이 아니다. 본 연구에서는 석산 발파에서 가장 중요한 요소인 천공방식과 암질의 변화가 파쇄도와 발파진동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 파쇄 입도에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수인 천공방식, 암질등급(RMR), 현지 암반의 블록 크기, 발파진동 등의 영향을 파쇄암의 평균입도(MFS)와 상위 5개의 대괴 평균치$(L_5)$로 나타내었다. 연구결과, 파쇄암의 평균입도는 상위 5개의 대괴 평균치와 선형적인 관계를 보였다. 발파방법과 파쇄도 평가 결과 재래식 발파에서는 파쇄도를 예측할 수 없었고 커다란 옥석이 생성되었으나, 벤치발파에서는 평균파쇄암의 크기가 비교적 양호한 파쇄 상태를 유지하였다. 현지 암반 블록 크기는 평균 파쇄암의 크기와 선형적 관계를 나타내었다. RMR값이 커짐에 따라 발파진동 추정식의 진동상수 K와 감쇠지수 n의 절대값과 평균 파쇄암의 크기, 그리고 상위 대괴의 크기는 대체적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 진동상수 K와 감쇠지수 n도 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

In this paper, AUTODYN blasting simulation of single blast hole were conducted to evaluate the blasting effects of Polymer Gel. The coupling mediums used as the filling material around an explosive charge were air and gelatin. each simulation case was D I(decoupling index) 1.0, 1.25, 1.56 with air or polymer gel coupling materials. In order to evaluate blast effects full charge model was used as a reference for evaluation of blasting effects. The results of numerical analysis showed that fragmentation of a limestone model of were much more fractured by polymer gel medium than by air medium. As expected, the transmitted peak pressure was higher polymer gel coupled model than in air medium.

Controlling the blast-induced damage zone(BDZ) in mining excavation is a significant issue for the safety of employees and the maintenance of facilities. Numerous studies have been conducted to accurately predict the BDZ in underground mining. This study employed the dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) to estimate the BDZ from a single hole blasting. The estimated BDZ were compared with the results obtained by Swedish empirical equation. The DFPA was also used to investigate the control mechanism of BDZ and fracture plane formation around perimeter holes for underground mining blasting.

터널굴착이나 사면절취 등과 같은 굴착문제에 있어서 굴착방법을 결정하기 위해 대상암반에 대한 리핑암이나 발파암의 구분이 우선되며, 다음에 발파에 의한 굴착방법이 선정되었을지라도 화약량 및 종류, 천공방법 등 발파설계를 위해서 추가적으로 발파암에 대한 세부적인 분류가 필요하다. 일반적으로 RMR이나 Q시스템과 같은 암반분류법이 많이 사용되고 있지만, 발파암에 대한 표준적인 암반분류법이 없으며, 국내에서도 발파암 분류에 대한 연구가 거의 전무한 상태로 발파암의 분류요소로 사용될 수 있는 요소를 구하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 앞으로 국내에서 발파암 분류연구에 대한 방향제시를 위해서 발파와 암석의 역학적 특성, 지질구조와 불연속면의 특성과의 관계나 굴착과 관련된 암반분류에 대한 여러 논문사례를 통하여 발파암의 분류요소와 분류방법 등에 대해 언급한다.

The classification of weak rocks is normally connected with the rippability classifications. The excavation of rock is frequently carried out by blasting. A classification of the weak rocks by test blasting with small quantity of explosives was attempted in the present study. The crater ratio and blasting constant that resoled from test blasting were used as a e parameter of the classification. The seismic velocity of rock mass and Protodyakonov's index were also applied for the also rock classification.

For the excavation of the rock, blast method is put into operation in most of the construction site in Korea. In comparison to other methods of excavation, blast method has many merits such as improvement in efficiency in operation, reducement of operation period, and etc. However, blast operation also creates much loss due to the blast vibration, noise, and fly rocks. Thus, in this study, we have examined main features, rock fragmentation effect and the application of plasma method the one of shallow vibration method. In this study, the attenuation exponent of blast method operated in the site was 1.39~1.40 and that of the plasma method was analysed to be 1.45~2.23. From the location where the distance between excavation location and observation location was over 15 m, most of excavation vibration were measured to be less than 0.2 kine(cm/sec), which is also the allowed standard value of sensitive buildings, such as cultural assets and computer facilities. According to the result of FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) analysis, the frequency measured through blast method in this site was 30~50 Hz and the frequency of plasma method ranges in between 30~130 Hz.

By comparing test blasting data experimented in three layered-structure polymorphic grounds to a geological profile, influence of blast vibration with respect to uncontrollable ground characteristics was analyzed. Inefficient blast have been performed without sufficient verifications or confirmations because insufficiencies with regard to experiments and data of blasting engineering on the layered structures to be irregularly repeated clinker layer consisted of volcanic clastic zones. It is difficult to quantify N values of clinkers within test blasting region because they have diverse ranges, or coverages. An absolute value of attenuation coefficient N in a field, estimated by blasting vibration predictive equation (SRSD), are lesser than criteria of a design instruction, meaning that vibrations caused by blast can spread far away, and the vibrational characteristics of blasting test No.1, indicating relatively small values, inferred by the geological profile, pressures of gas by the explosion may be lost into a widely distributed clinker layers by penetrating holes resulted from blast into vicinity of clinker layers located in bottom of soft rock layers at the moment of blast. As a result, amounts of spalling rocks are decreased by almost half. Also, ranges of primary frequencies in the fields are identified as similar to those of natural frequency of typical structures.

The supersonic shock wave generated by fully coupled explosion will change into subsonic shock wave, plastic wave, and elastic wave consecutively as the wave propagates through rock mass. While the estimation of the blast-induced peak pressure was the main aim of the companion paper, this paper will concentrate on the estimation of the rise time of blast-induced pressure. The rise time can be expressed as a function of explosive density, isentropic exponent, detonation velocity, exponential coefficient of the peak pressure attenuation, dynamic yield stress, plastic wave velocity, elastic wave velocity, rock density, Hugoniot parameters, etc. Parametric analysis was performed to pinpoint the most influential parameter that affects the rise time and it was found that rock properties are more sensitive than explosive properties. The probabilistic distribution of the rise time is evaluated by the Rosenblueth'S point estimate method from the probabilistic distributions of explosive properties and rock properties. Numerical analysis was performed to figure out the effect of rock properties and explosive properties on the uncertainty of blast-induced vibration. Uncertainty analysis showed that uncertainty of rock properties constitutes the main portion of blast-induced vibration uncertainty rather than that of explosive properties. Numerical analysis also showed that the loading rate, which is the ratio of the peak blasting pressure to the rise time, is the main influential factor on blast-induced vibration. The loading rate is again more influenced by rock properties than by explosive properties.
