Vibration Effect and Damage Evolution Characteristics of Tunnel Surrounding Rock Under Cyclic Blasting Loading

Model test studies based on the similarity theory were conducted to investigate vibration effect and damage evolution characteristics of tunnel surrounding rock under push-type cyclic blasting excavation.The model was constructed with a ratio of 1∶15.By simulating the tunnel excavation of push-type cyclic blasting,the influence of the blasting parameter change on vibration effect was explored.The damage degree of tunnel surrounding rock was evaluated by the change of the acoustic wave velocity at the same measuring point after blasting.The relationship between the damage evolution of surrounding rock and blasting times was established.The research results show that：（1）In the same geological environment,the number of delay initiation is larger,the main vibration frequency of blasting seismic wave is higher,and the attenuation of high frequency signal in the rock and soil is faster.The influence of number of delay initiation on blasting vibration effect cannot be ignored;（2）Under push-type cyclic blasting excavation,there were great differences in the decreasing rates of acoustic wave velocity of the measuring points which have the same distance to the blasting region at the same depth,and the blasting damage ranges of surrounding rock were typically anisotropic at both depth and breadth;（3）When blasting parameters were basically kept as the same,the growth trend of the cumulative acoustic wave velocity decreasing rate at the measuring point was nonlinear under different cycle blasting excavations;（4）There were nonlinear evolution characteristics between the blasting cumulative damage（D）of surrounding rock and blasting times（n）under push-type cyclic blasting loading,and different measuring points had corresponding blasting cumulative damage propagation models,respectively.The closer the measuring point was away from the explosion source,the faster the cumulative damage extension.Blasting cumulative damage effect of surrounding rock had typically nonlinear evolution properties and anisotropic characteristics.

Study on influence of key blasthole parameters on tunnel overbreak

To determine the influence of key blasthole parameters on tunnel overbreak during blasting construction,an intelligent detection sys-tem for tunnel blasting construction is independently developed.And the key blasthole parameters and overbreak of a typical section of a single line tunnel under the condition of Class V surrounding rock are analyzed and detected.The actual data obtained is compared with the results of numerical simulations and theoretical calculations.The results are as follows:(1)Quantitative analysis is performed based on the blasthole angle,opening position,and charge mass by the self-developed intelligent detection equipment for blasthole parameters,which can be used to guide the drilling construction.Intelligent scanning equipment for outline excavation can be used to image the actual excavation section in real-time and has the advantages of high precision and fast speed;(2)Tunnel overbreak can be regarded as consisting of two parts:the surrounding rock damage caused by the blasting load,and the collapse of the surrounding rock caused by the blasthole opening position.Every parameter of the peripheral hole will affect the tunnel overbreak;however,the key parameter is the blasthole opening position;(3)The distributions of the tunnel overbreak volume obtained with the theoretical analysis,finite element simulation,and measurements are basically consistent.Under the condition of Class V surrounding rock,the overbreak of this single line tunnel can reach 14.1–78.2 cm.To meet the specification requirements,the opening position and construction accuracy of the peripheral hole should be strictly controlled.
