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.

The pressure-time profile of the explosion gases can be controlled fot the use of cartridge explosives with two techniques Known as Decoupling and Spacing the charges. Decoupling consists in leaving and empty space between the explosive column and wall of the blast hole. Four different decoupling index, 1.4, 1.8, 2.34, 3.0 are selected in this field study. The level of ground vibrations with each decoupling index are measured and the empirical particle vibrations with each decoupling index are measured and the empirical particle velocity equation from these data was obtained. The condition of new cracks at blast hole are also examined. As the decoupling index in increased, the level of the blast vibration is decreased,. But the cracks in rock masses are efficiently formed to remove the broken rock. The vibration constant associated with a given site $K=1564.5(D.I)^{-1.3233}$ in terms of D.I(decopling index).

The types of eletric detonators manufactured in korea include instantaneous, decisecond and millisecond delays but number of delay intervals are only limited from No. 1 to No. 20 respectively. It is not sufficient to control accurately millisecond time with these detonators in large surface blasting. But nonelectric system detonators with an unlimited delay time are recently obtained. In this paper the effect of delay time of nonelectric detonator on the level of vibration in surface blasting was studied. A total of 169 data were recorded in the studied area. Blast point-to-measuring point distances ranged from 25 to 100 meter, where charge weight was 1.26 kg per delay.

Literatures on the fracture mechanics and damaged zone of rocks were studied to estimate the excavation and blasting damaged zone for rapid tunneling. Fracture mechanics were applied to explain fracture mechanism and to estimate damaged zone and seemed to be applicable for controlling the fractures.

Mountain and hill areas occupy by more than 70% in South Korea and Rock drilling should be applied in order to reduce noisy & vibration from massive civil engineering business such as road expansion, high-way construction, subway construction and construction of site renovation such as a newly-built & re-development of apartment, newly-built of high-rising building in downtown area. As Blasting noise & vibration such as vibration, noise, fly rock etc caused by blasting operation from large small scale construction occurs, neighboring residents who demand the compensation file a civil complaint so that the business reach a deadlock. As the excavation method for these areas, There are blasting of micro-vibration, mechanical excavation method(Rock splitter, Breaker etc), similar blasting method(plasma, gel fragmentation etc) to date. In this study, we are trying to find the feature & performance which get improved economic feasibility & construct ability through improving sympathetic detonation of New KINECKER-I used in blasting of micro-vibration & formulation and would provide convenience for use by introducing standard blasting pattern & construction method. Also, checked and confirmed all the blasting with connecting cap has been cleary detonated.

Problems on vibration due to blasting for infrastructure development are getting important because of a civil appeal. Blasting-induced vibration is representative construction pollution, hence, it is possible that a number of environmental damages occur. In this study, borehole test blasting was conducted at Sintanjin area, Daejeon and square root equation with 95% confidence level was proposed for prediction of blasting-induced vibration. The vibration value predicted from this equation was more conservatively evaluated than the values predicted from U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines (USBM) and Nippon Oil & Fats Co., Ltd. (NOF) equations. Therefore, the proposed equation in this study seems to contribute for safety blast design. However, for optimal blast design, inducing equation for prediction of blasting-induced vibration through the identical test blasting with field construction such as rock slope blasting would be required.

In order to analyze the effects of ground vibration caused by underground blasting having an effect on structure, the particle velocity and acceleration are calculated by using DYNPAK program. The DYNPAK program analyzes nonlinear transient dynamic problem and adopts the very popular and easily implemented, explicit, central difference scheme. In this program, the material behavior is assumed to be elasto-viscoplastic. Using the particle acceleration history, modal analysis method is applied to the forced vibration response of multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) systems using unclupled equations of motion expressed in terms of the system's natural circular frequencies and modal damping factors. AS a means of evaluating the vibration behavior of building structure subjected to underground blasting, the time response of the displacements relative to the ground of five-story building is determined. It is concluded that the amount of explosives consumed per round, the location of structure, the properties of rock medium, the stiffness fo structure, etc. act on the important factors influencing on the safety of building and that the response of a structure subjected to a forced excitation can usually be obtained with reasonable accuracy by the modal analysis of only a few mode of the lower frequencies of the system.

Blasting vibrations velocity had been used to design blasting pattern and predict damage-possibility of structures. As vibration levels are currently required to estimate the damage concerning human-body and livestock, so measured vibration velocities must be transformed into vibration levels. In this study, the digital filter program was developed to transform measured data into vibration levels. Simple harmonic vibrations and measured data obtained by Blastmate series (Instantel Inc.) were applied to the digital filter program. As a result, simple harmonic vibrations and measured data were successfully transformed into vibration levels using the developed program. Measured data from any instrument with ASCII output-function will similarly be transformed into level units.

The investigation of the fragmentation of blasted rocks is particularly important because it is a measure of the blast efficiency. The degree of fragmentation has a major effect on the efficiency of the loading and crushing operations. Getting such an information on the large pile of blasted rock is not an easy operation. This paper presents the results of case study to evaluate the performance of two types of tunnel blasting: V-cut and burn cut. The digital images of muckpiles were analyzed to produce size distribution and it was compared with those of predictive equations.

The common underwater rock removal methods involve underwater blasting and crane's chisel dropping impact method. From an environmental point of view, these methods cause ground vibrations and underwater noise. At the site for this study, a method of dropping heavyweight chisel is selected to remove the underwater bedrock near the ferry rack in the course of improving the cargo handling ability of the loading dock. A prediction formula for the vibration was obtained based on the measurement and evaluation of the vibrations caused by the chisel dropping impacts during the test droppings. The prediction formula was successfully applied to the main construction for securing the stability of the structure.
