The most common problem encountered in domestic tunnel construction sites are solving public resentments caused by damage to adjacent structures and buildings. The most effective excavation method in rock tunnelling is the drilling and blasting, which is the main cause of vibration resulting in the public resentments. In this study, numerical analysis is conducted to compare the vibration reduction effect of line drilling and pre-splitting methods. Furthermore, the numerical simulations are verified and the results are quantified. Finally, various combinations of explosives used in controlled blasting are used and the vibration reduction effects are evaluated, thereby proving the applicability of the controlled blasting for reduction of vibration in tunnelling.

본 기술사례는 과학기술부가 주도하는 자연재해방재기술개발 국가중점연구사업 중 기상청 주관의 기상지진기술개발사업의 한반도 지각속도 구조연구 과제 중 서산지역과 포항지역을 연결하는 200km 측선에서 2차원 지각구조를 밝히기 위한 지각규모 굴절파탐사의 지진동 source 제공을 위해 발파로 실시하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 국내에서는 거의 실행해 본 경우가 없는 지발당 장약량이 500~1000kg의 발파를 실시하였다. 200개의 계측지점에 지진동이 전달될 수 있도록 충분한 폭속을 가진 폭약과 외부의 충격과 우수한 기폭력, 시차가 정확한 이중비전기뇌관을 특수 제작하여 사용하였다. 시추공내로 유출되는 물에 의한 사압을 방지하기 위하여 폭약은 철관용기를 제작하여 벌크 형태로 장약을 하여 발파를 하였다. 발파전 용기 밀폐 시험 및 용기제작 후 기폭실험, 수압작용으로 인한 폭약 및 뇌관에 미치는 영향 등을 실험을 통하여 사전 파악을 하였다. 또한 실제 발파 중 진동치를 측정한 결과 보안물건에 대한 진동치값은 미광무국식(USBM)을 이용하여 예측한 진동치보다 평균 180% 정도 높게 나타났다.

Particle Velocity Equations were suggested in this paper for Korean surface blasting types, which were developed by Korean Society for Explosive Engineers (KSEE). Standard charges per delay for types and distances also were determined. USBM equation which was adopted by MOCT (Korean Ministry of Construction and Transportation) shows many problems for Korean situations.

In generally blasting pattern design is carried out in-situ borehole blasting test and its analysis. We added the 3D numerical analysis for blast induced vibrations. This paper is case study of 3D numerical analysis in which considered blast induced vibration affected across buildings, and then we design the blasting pattern of tunnel excavation.

In this study, in order to reduce appeals regarding vibration and noise from blasts, the optimum delay-time of the electronic detonator, which can minimize blast vibration, is found through blast-waveform composition and blasting simulation, and we have developed the full-face Sequential Blasting Method based on the studies of damping properties of full-face section blasting. The optimum delay-time of the electronic detonator and Full-face Sequential Blasting Method using electronic detonator was applied to the Gyeongbu high-speed railway construction site to test the feasibility of this method.

The only law related to airblast and ground vibration control in Korea is the Noise and Vibration Control Act enforced by the Ministry of Environment. But this law mainly deals with the annoyance aspects of noises and vibrations in ordinary human life. Hence, the law defines the safety criteria of ground vibration as the vibration level (VL) of dB(V) unit. The ground vibrations produced from blasting, however, have the unique characteristics that can be shown in shock vibrations, and the duration is also very short compared to the vibrations from machinery, tools or facilities. Hence, vibration regulations for blasting operations usually define the safety criterion as the peak particle velocity (PPV) considering the effect of ground vibrations to structural damage. Notwithstanding, there are several attempts that predict VL from PPV or estimate VL based on the scaled distances (SD; in unit of $m/kg^{1/2}$ or $m/kg^{1/3}$) without considering their frequency spectra. It appears that these attempts are conducted mainly for the purpose of satisfying the law in blasting contracts. But, in principle there could no correlation between peaks of velocity and acceleration over entire frequency spectrum. Therefore, such correlations or estimations should be conducted only for the waves with the same or very similar frequency spectra.

Abstract The characteristics of bed rock in the study area was classified by means of the crack coefficient estimated from the seismic velocities of in-situ and intact rocks. Various statistical methods were investigated in order to minimize the possible errors in estimating the predictive equation of blasting vibration and to enhance the determination coefficient $R^2$, for more reliable estimation. The determination coefficient showed the highest in the analysis for those groups using weighting function with the number of samples. The analysis for the weighting function employed with standard coefficient and variance also enhanced the determination coefficients significantly compared to the others, but the reliability was slightly lower than results obtained former method. Therefore the most reliable predictive equation of blasting vibration was found to be obtained from a regression analysis of the mean vibration level using the weighting of same distance groups within 15m with the same explosive charge weight per delay. The coefficients, K and n 317.4 and -1.66, respectively, when using the square root scaling, and 209.9 and -1.66, respectively, when using the cube root scaling. The analysis also showed that the square root scaling may be used in the distance less than 31m form the blast source, and the cube root scaling in the distance more than 31m for safe design.

The waveform at the blasting pattern using k13 delay electronic detonator depends on the interference of adjacent delay time according to the degree of distance and frequency. The degree of interference affects the size of blasting vibration at a measuring point. This study analyzed the cooperating change characteristics of MS delay blasting separately detonated at intervals of 40m and presented through frequency the delay time design method that is able to reduce the cooperation of blasting vibration at the MS delay blasting.

본 기사는 2000년 3월 26일 미국 시애틀 소재 Kingdome 체육관 시설을 발파해체공법을 이용하여 해체한 사례로서 The Journal of Explosives Engineering(v.17 n.5, 2000)에 기고한 Dr. Douglas A. Anderson (Senior Consultant, West Chester, PA office of Schnabel Engineering Associates, Inc.)의 글을 옮긴 것이다. Kingdome 구조물의 해체와 해제 후 Seahawk Stadium 건설의 책임을 맡은 주계약자는 Turner Construction 회사이며 발파해체 사전준비 및 사후처리의 택일은 Aman Environment사, 발파해체 설계 및 시공은 CDI사, 주위 주요 구조물에 대한 영향평가 및 진동계측은 Schnabel Engineering Associates사가 맡아 수행하였다. 이 건물은 세계에서 가장 큰 규모의 쉘 콘크리트 돔 구조로 되어 있으며, 주위에 주요 구조물들이 위치하고 있고 특히 이 지역에 과거 발생했던 지진으로 인하여 주민들이 지반진동에 대한 피해나 또는 지진을 유발하수도 있다는 위험 가능성에 매우 예민하여 관심이 높았던 해체사례이다. 이 구조물을 한번에 붕괴시킬 경우 지반에 25,000톤의 중량이 충격으로 작용할 수 있으므로 충격을 최소화하기 위한 방법에 초점을 맞추어 설계되었으며 5,905개의 천공에 4,728파운드(약 2,145kg)의 폭약이 사용되었고 도폭선을 이용하여 기폭시켰다. 사용된 도폭선의 길이는 약 37.9 Km에 달하였다. 발파해체 기사에 나타나 있듯이 주위에 피해를 주지 않고 성공적으로 수행되었다.

New criteria to evaluate blasting damage to structure is proposed considering environmental caused daily deformation of cracks in structures. Results from 3 brick houses in fishing village shows that more than 10 times higher vibration level than design criteria of 0.5 kine is required to cause structural damage.
