In order to identify the characteristics of the propagation depending on delay time (20, 25 ms) and priming location (top priming, middle priming, bottom priming), test blasts were carried out a total of 4 times using different spacing, burden, drilling length, charge per delay and was derived the formula to predict blast vibration. This study investigated the characteristics of vibration by analysis of the nomogram and prediction of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) from delay time and priming location by the formula to predict ground vibration. And it analyzed the trends of vibration increase by standards charge 0.5, 1.6, 5, 15 kg. Standards charge is "Blasting design and construction guidelines to road construction" by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. Depending on the charge in favor of vibration control method is proposed. Thus, when the design was to be used as a variable.

Vibrations were measured at the surface of a GTX-A site to assess the impact of blasting on underground tunneling. A numerical analysis was conducted using the same ground and blast conditions as those at the site, accompanied by a comparative analysis of other GTX-A sites. This analysis determined the maximum vibration velocity at regular intervals directly above the blasting point at each site. The results were compared with domestic and international vibration standards to establish the vibration measurement range. The specified vibration measurement locations in domestic regulations—"measuring from the closest part of the structure's foundation to the blasting source, and if conditions make it impossible, measuring from the nearest surface to it"—were evaluated. Furthermore, this study underscores the significance of considering the tunnel drilling depth and soil conditions when selecting a vibration measurement location.

Vibration occur at construction sites due to various causes. Starting from the movement of heavy equipments and construction vehicles, the machine crushing of embedded obstacles and rocks creates not only noise but also vibration. Furthermore, the blasting of rocks tops the other causes. In this paper, the measurements of various vibration occurring at the construction site are made and analyzed to determine the magnitude of vibration upon different sources of vibration. The results showed the relative magnitude of vibration for the site studied.

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.

현재까지 진동이 양생중인 콘크리트에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행된 대부분의 연구에서는 콘크리트 공시체나 콘크리트 블록에 대해 100Hz 미만의 주주파수를 가지는 충격진동이나 진동테이블을 이용한 진동을 가한 후 콘크리트의 강도 변화를 평가하는 방법이 사용되었다. 이 연구에서는 발파진동이 양생중인 라이닝 콘크리트에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 우해 실험실 충격진동 시험과 터널 현장에서의 발파진동 시험을 수행하였다. 터널발파진동과 유사한 100~300Hz의 주주파수를 가지 충격진동을 각각 재령 3, 7, 12 시간에 다한 실험실 시험결과 2cm/sec의 진동속도는 모르타르 라이닝의 P파속도를 증가시키지만, 5 cm/sec, 10cm/sec의진동의 모르타르 라이닝의 P파 속도를 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 양생기간동안 2.5 cm/sec 이하의 발파진동이 가해진 양생중인 라이닝 콘크리트는 진동을 가하지 않고 양생시킨 콘크리트 공시체에 비해 압축강도가 더 큰 값을 나타내었다. 재령 5시간에 콘크리트 라이닝애 대한 소규모 시험발파로 발파진동을 가한 콘크리트 시료와 진동을 가하지 않고 터널 내에서 양생시킨 공시체에 대해 압축강도를 비교한 결과 콘크리트의 강도 및 탄성파 속도를 저하시킬 수 있는 진동수준은 3~4cm/sec 인 것 으로 나타났다.로 나타났다.

Since the blast vibration induced by explosives of the powder possibly provide damage of the nearby structures adjacent to the tunnel, the stability of the nearby structures should be estimated. In this study, the stability of the tunnel based on the allowable peak particle velocity of the structures as well as allowable stress of the structures presented in the concrete structural design standard was estimated with respect to the stress of the concrete lining and axial force of the rockbolt during the blasting operation at the ground surface of the pre-existing tunnel. The analyses were carried out by using $FLAC^{2D}$ which is one of the programs developed based on the finite difference method. The bending compressive stress and shear stress of the concrete lining and axial force of the rockbolt were rapidly increased when the blasting operation was conducted near the tunnel.

For increase of reality in numerical analysis, a blasting vibration waveform obtained from field blast operations has been directly used for input parameters of dynamic analysis in the form of vibration velocity. A numerical model was built considering the geological characteristics of underground limestone opening as well as the mining stages in this opening, and the effect of blast operations on stability of underground limestone opening was investigated by dynamic numerical analysis. The adequacy of applying the real vibration waveform to dynamic analysis has been approved from the preliminary analysis, and the dynamic numerical analysis results show that the continuous mining operation can cause the collapse of roof in openings and the active yield zone around openings. Therefore, the additional reinforcements should be applied for ensuring the stability of underground limestone openings.

The blasting to construct subways in Seoul, Korea. have often increased complaints of ground vibration. In order to prevent the damage to structures, it was necessary to predict the level of blasting induced vibration and to determine the maximum charge weight per delay within a allowable vibration level. A total of 109 blasts were recorded at ten sites. Blast-to-structure distances ranged from 8 to 84.2 meter, where charge weight varied from 0,1125 to 7.85 kg per delay. The data from blast were studied to determine the effect of explosives type on the vibration constants(k). Vibration constants were also analyzed in terms of compressive strength of rock and blasting patterns.

Nowadays, the blast method is mainly operated in the fields of the rock excavation accompanied by construction site in Korea. Blast method has many merits such as improvement of workability, reducement of operation period, and etc. However, blast operation also create much loss and troubles with the neighbours for the environmental pollutions such as the noise, blast vibration, fly rocks and dusts. Thus, the non-vibration and shallow vibration methods have been used but they have also another problems in the view of the economy and the efficiency in operation. In this study, we had made laboratory tests for the breaking of the various Rock types by White Light Thermal Stress. The tests shows that one unit consuming 500kilowatts of electricity, would go 90 feet a day in tunneling if the tunnel was 16 feet by 16 feet. Also, if a faster rate of tunneling could be handled, other white light units could be added.

The blasting work to construct a subway in seoul, korea have often cased increased neighbor＇s complaints because of ground vibration. In order to prevent the demage to the stucture it was necessary to predict the level of blasting induced vibration and to determine the maximum charge weigh per delay with an allowable vibration level. The effect of blasting pattem, rock strength and different explosive on the blast-induced ground vibration was studied to determine the maximum charage weight per delay within a given vibration level. The blasting vibration equation from over 100 test data was obtained, V= K(D/W(equation omitted), where the values for n and K are estimated to be 1.7 to 1.5 and 48 to 138 respectively.
