Non-electric detonator was developed to improve the blasting efficiency of electric detonator. It is increasingly utilized in surface and tunnel blasting due to its safety in external electric shock, precise delayed time, and decrease in blasting vibration and noise. The paper describes the detonating system of non-electric detonator, principle operating and planning methods, and case history so that it can be contributed to improve blasting technology.

암반발파에 사용하고 있는 전기식 뇌관과 비전기식 연결뇌관 및 번치 커넥터(Bunch connector), 점화구, 에멀젼류 폭약이 지상에서 기폭 될 때 발생하는 소음을 비교 분석하였다. 에멀젼류 폭약의 폭발소음과 화공품의 기폭소음에 대한 추정식을 도출하였다. 에멀젼류 폭약의 폭발 소음 예측은 반대수 자승근 환산식, 번치 커넥터, 전기식 뇌관 및 비전기식 연결뇌관 및 점화구는 전대수식이 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 소음원으로부터 동일한 거리에서의 소음은 점화구, 비전기식 연결뇌관, 전기식 뇌관 및 번치 커넥터 순으로 높았다. 소음원으로부터 약20∼30m거리의 범위에서 번치 커넥터의 기폭소음은 에멀젼류 폭약 0.250kg의 폭발소음보다 약15.6∼20.2dB(A) 낮고, 비전기식 연결뇌관 보다 약13.5∼16.0dB(A) 높고, 전기식 뇌관 보다는 약6.5∼7.5dB(A) 높게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 점화구는 약20m 거리에서 약 7dB(A)이하 이었다. 에멀젼류 폭약의 폭발과 번치 커넥터의 기폭소음에 미치는 주(主)소음원은 에멀젼류 폭약의 약량과 번치 커넥터의 도폭선임을 확인하였다.

A survey for understanding the opinion about the safety and economy of different types of detonators used in domestic tunnel construction was carried out for total 345 people in related areas. From the result, it was found that 86.7% of the surveyed people felt non-electric detonator was safe. From the experimental points that the cost of detonators is in charge of 8.1% in overall tunnel blasting cost, and the utilization of non-electric detonators will also contribute to the prevention of blasting accidents by the electrical safety, this study can help providing opinions and basic data collected from related areas to manufacturing companies, police department, and companies ordering tunnel construction.

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.
