Already, vari-stem, gas-bag, power deck, air ball etc. are used by various blasting methods to take the advantage of air decking technology in abroad. Air tube product has been used continuously in domestic and air ball product was made recently. In the case study, we analyzed about the application and the effect or air deck blasting method in domestic blasting area. As results or this case study, it was shown that blasting vibration was decreased about $21{\sim}41%$ and quantities or explosives was decreased about $17{\sim}30%$. Also, in the case of using air deck blasting method, fragmentation was shown to be smaller than common blasting method.

The repeated blasting vibration, which is induced commonly in NATM excavation site, can cause a severe damage to the nearby facilities. It is known that the most effective method for reducing blasting vibration includes the use of electronic detonator, deck charge and change of cut method, and so forth. In order to analyze the effect of blasting vibration reduction, in this study, three-dimensional FDM (Finite Difference Method) program FLAC3D has been used for reflecting the blasting hole, delayed time and charging amount. Also the numerical analysis has been performed by applying a dynamic load to each blasting hole. The cut method has been applied with several methods, such as V-cut and Double-drilled parallel cut, which are common in tunnel construction sites. Also, the field test blasting has been carried out in order to compare the measured data with results of numerical analysis. It was shown that the numerical analysis and the field measurement coincide well.

It is necessary to minimize ground vibration and noise due to blasting work in urban environment. The blast induced ground vibration and noise are generally generated by a portion of detonation energy, where most of the energy is utilized for rock breakage and movement of rock mass. Recently a blast method utilizing U-shaped steel charge holder was suggested to reduce the ground vibration without decreasing destructive power toward the free surface. In this study, single hole blasting utilizing U-shaped steel charge holder were simulated and the stress waves caused by the detonation of explosives were monitored using AUTODYN software. In order to examine the fragmentation efficiency of the U-shaped steel charge holder, one free face blasting models which adapt the blast induced stress waves were simulated by dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) code. In addition, the general blasting models were also simulated to investigate the fragmentation effectiveness of the U-shaped steel charge holder in rock blasting.

External charges with four different kinds of tamping materials are tested to determine the effect of tamping on the blasting of steel components and concrete blocks. The tamping materials used are tamping cap, urethane foam, sand bag and mud. As a result, the tamping cap, urethane foam, and sand bag show no significant effect of tamping. But the mud tamping shows that the charge amount can be reduced by more than 20% in completely cutting the structural components. In addition, it is found from the test that the standard equation for calculating the proper charge is rather conservative, which means the equation overestimates the necessary charge for the blasting.

일반적으로 국내 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 20ms나 25ms 시차를 가지는 지발발파로 시행되어지고 있다. 국외에서는 전자뇌관을 사용하여 암반의 지질학적인 특성에 따라 지발 시차를 사용자의 현장에 따라 선정하여, 주변 보안 물건에 따른 진동 및 소음을 경감하면서, 1회 발파의 생산량을 증대할 수 있으며, 2차 파쇄 비용 및 적재비용을 절감하는 최적의 시차를 적용하여 발파 규모를 줄이지 않는 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 해외에서 사용되고 있는 전자뇌관을 국내 현장 석회석 광산(단양)에 적용함으로 최적지연시차를 찾아내는 방법과 초시의 오차에 따른 문제점과 향후 국내 적용성을 판단하고자 하였다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 최적시차를 판단하고자 동일 패턴에서 시차를 6ms ~ 30ms로 시험발파를 시행하여 4가지 요소 발파진동속도, 주 주파수특성, 파쇄입도, 암석 이동 및 버력의 상태를 분석하여 각 시차에 따른 배점을 두어, 당 현장에 요구되는 개별 가중치를 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 당 현장에서의 발파결과에 따른 요소별 가중치를 발파진동속도(20), 주 주파수 특성(20), 파쇄입도(40), 암석 이동(10) 및 버력의 상태(10)로 하여 분석한 결과 15ms가 최적시차로 나타냈다. 향후 각 현장에 적합한 요소별 가중치를 선정하여 현장별 최적시차를 도출한다면 최적의 발파효과를 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Model blast experiments of mortar blocks were performed to investigate the effect of the guide hole on crack growth. The mortar block specimens have a blast charge hole and 8 guide holes. Two of circular guide hole, notched guide hole, diamond shaped guide hole and diamond shaped guide holder are installed around 110 mm, 165 mm and 220 mm apart from the charge hole for each specimen. From the blast experiments, it was revealed that all the guide hole used in this study were effective for controlling the crack growth at the fracture control.

In this study, a control blast method, which utilizes crack guide holes, is suggested to achieve smooth fracture plane and minimize blast damage zone (BDZ) in smooth blasting. In order to verify the effectiveness of crack guide holes on the fracture plane control in blasting, fracture process analyses which consider regular smooth blasting and guide hole smooth blasting had been conducted and the fracture planes resulting from the analyses had been compared. The analyses models considered the ignition of the blast holes using detonation cords and each guide hole placed between blast holes. From the results, the smooth blasting utilizing guide holes showed lower fracture plane roughness than regular smooth blasting method in the hole spacing range between 20 to 40cm.

Nowadays it is tendency to make a remodelling or demolition of old structures with the rapid development of blasting technique. In this treatise it is arranged of improvement procedure of blasting demolition method in korea which was begun since August 1991. Recently, the blasting demolition method has much merits with 60-70% reduction effect of construction period than mechanical demolition method. and so that it has much economical points specially over than 5 storied high buildings. In order to maximalize economical effects of the blasting demolition method, environment safety and recycling, it must be needed. at first to develop the estimating programs against vibration, noise, flying stones, and dust. Also it is required to take a responsibility for using recycling materials after blasting demolition of old structures, and to be invested to advance the blasting demolition techniques.

In case of urban blasting works at near neighbors, the size of one blasting should be minimized to reduce the vibration and noise. However, the complaints is not decreased due to increased numbers of blasting per day so that the period of blasting works become long. This case study is related to urban apartment construction site. In order to overcome the weakness of general detonators which is required many blasting times to meet the day productivity, we have been applied deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonators and then we successfully increased the day productivity with much less blasting times. Hence, we had effectively achieved the declined neighbors'complaints and shortening construction period.
