Already, VARI-STEM, CAS-BAG, POWER DECK etc. are used by various blasting methods to take the advantage of air decking technology in abroad. This study analyzed the application and the effect of Air ball blasting method in domestic blasting area. It is shown that blasting vibration was showed decrease about $30\~40\%$ and quantities of explosives was shown decrease about $20\~25\%$. Also, in the case of using air ball blasting method, it is found for airblast to be lower than common blasting method.

This paper introduce a multistage parallel non-vibration electronic tunnel blasting cases which adapts Electronic Blasting System(EBS) and the center-cut blasting method to excavating a single line railway tunnel close to residential area. As a result, it was revealed that the vibration and noise showed a reduction of 23.5% and 75% of compared with the allowable standard. We successfully completed the tunnel excavation with decreasing construction time and construction cost and without civil compliant.

The typical blasting method adopted in Pasir Coal Mine is a surface blasting technique with a single free face. It means that there is only one free face, which is usually the ground surface. This kind of blasting method is easy to use but inevitably causes enormous ground vibrations, which, in turn, can affect the stability of the slopes comprising the various boundaries of the open pit mine. In addition, the method also has the problem of lowering the overall blast efficiency compared to other methods such as bench blasting methods or ones with more than two free faces. In this respect, a project was launched to develop a new blasting method that is suitable for both controling the ground vibration and enhancing the blast efficiency. As a part of the project, we investigated the current blasting method of the mine, and have conducted field measurements of the ground vibrations from 12 biasts. This Paper presents the details of the typical blasting pattern and the Propagation characteristics of the ground vibration from the surface blasting in the mine. Especially, various predictive equations for peak Particle velocities that can be used to estimate the ground vibration level in the mine area were derived from the regression analyses using the measured ground vibration data.

Through existing research and construction cases during tunnel blasting, the electronic blasting method is reported to be more effective in reducing blast vibration than the normal blasting method. However, due to the high price of electronic detonators, they are only used in some blasting sites where security objects are located nearby. Accordingly, this study performed tunnel blasting tests by adjusting the ratio of electronic and non-electronic detonators. And through the research results, the reduction effect of blasting vibration according to the detonator ratio was evaluated. The research results showed that the reduction effect of blast vibration was greatest when 100% electronic detonator was applied. In addition, when more than 52% of the electronic detonator was applied, it was found that the reduction effect was similar to the reduction effect when 100% of the detonator was used.

Blasting technology aims to maximize digging efficiency as well as minimize vibration and noise. So, it is key point of blasting technology to raise blasting effect as much as possible and reduce vibration and noise and the design of PLHBM that is the tunnel blasting method having such merit was studied in this paper. PLHBM has the excellent blasting efficiency as it drills the empty hole with high caliber of 250~1,000mm at centre cut, contributes to blasting vibration reduction effect much and can be usefully applied to tunnel blasting sites. So it is judged that it enables the development of tunnel blasting method to be advanced one more step by studying and suggesting the design method of PLHBM.

Measuring methods of the blasting vibration were generally divided the. manual method and the automatical method. When using the automatical method, field data of the vibration meter can be transferred to a operation computer by using remote equipments. In this study new automatical system using solar power supply is to be introduced. New automatical system is well suited for the field which is difficult to access and is needed frequent measurements of the blasting vibration. And it can make easy to accumulate the data and control the blasting vibration for safe blasting.

Blasting methods are frequently used in case of forming slope artificially like slope cutting and open-cut method in the downtown area because of many economical and effective advantages. It is important that blasting work is carried out maintaining original strength of rock and not to damage rock face. And it is also considered that blasting method to decrease ground vibration is essential to the point of blast damages due to the ground vibration. In this study, to form a smooth plane of rock slope face, many trial blasts were carried out in this way that explosives were installed in detonating cord by equal interval in different charging method and stemming method. Using 4 blasting patterns in total 60 blast holes and 20 times of blasts were carried out. At the same time ground vibration measurements were carried out 15~102m away from the blast source, and total number of 310 data were obtained. Measured data for ground vibration velocity were analyzed so as to study blasting method to protect slope plane while decreasing blast vibration in an effective way.

The objective of this study is to present and verify a method for evaluating the fundamental period of a rockfill dam using artificially generated vibration from a blasting event. In this study, the artificial blasting vibration tests were carried out at the site adjacent to the existing Seongdeok Dam for the first time in Korea. The artificial vibrations were induced by 4 different types of blasting with the various depths of blasting boreholes and the various explosive charge weight. During the tests, the accelerations time histories were recorded at the crest of the dam. In this acceleration history, only free vibration decay part following the main vibration event was extracted and it was analyzed by frequency domain analysis using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). From the results of FFT, the fundamental period of the target dam was evaluated. It is found that the effect of different blasting types on the fundamental period of the target dam is negligible and the fundamental period of the target dam can be consistently obtained by blasting vibration tests. Furthermore, it is found that the period of the target dam calculated by the method using blasting vibration test is similar to that obtained by the method of previous researchers using the real earthquake records. Therefore, in case that the earthquake record is not available, the fundamental period of a rockfill dam can be reasonably evaluated if blasting vibration test is allowed at the site adjacent to the dam.

Recently, the residence complaints have been increased by blast vibration and noise issue due to increased urban blasting works so that the trouble between construction company and residence have been continuously increased. Deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonator provided not only blast vibration and noise control but also minimized residence complaints through shortening of the blasting period. This blasting method will be widely used for maximizing urban blasting productivity.
