Analysis of predictor equations for determining the blast-induced vibration in rock blasting

The paper proposes a new empirical correlation designed to complement the‘‘site laws"currently used to evaluate the attenuation in the rock masses of vibrations induced by rock blasting.The formula contains a deformed exponential known as the K-exponential,which seems to well represent a large number of both natural and artificial phenomena ranging from astrophysics to quantum mechanics,with some extension in the field of economics and finance.Experimental validation of the formula was performed via the analysis of vibration data covering a number of case studies,which differed in terms of both operation and rock type.A total of 12 experimental cases were analysed and the proposed formulation exhibited a good performance in 11 of them.In particular,the proposed law,which was built using blast test data,produced very good approximations of the points representing the vibration measurements and would thus be useful in organising production blasts.However,the developed formula was found to work less well when a correlation obtained for a given site was applied to another presenting similar types of rocks and operations,and thus should not be employed in the absence of measurements from test data.

研究目的:通过三维数值模拟,研究隧道施工过程对双叠隧道的影响。创新要点:使用全三维数值模拟方法研究软土中双叠隧道施工对先挖隧道或地面的影响。研究方法:1.运用FLAC软件创建双叠隧道的三维数值模型(图1);2.分情况模拟机械化双叠隧道的挖掘过程;3.研究不同情况下的地面沉降,水平地面位移,以及隧道衬砌的法向位移、法向力、纵向力和弯曲力矩等。重要结论:1.新隧道施工对现有的隧道有很大的影响,最大影响出现在先挖上层隧道的情况下;2.一般来说,上层隧道的挖掘会比下层隧道产生更大的地面沉降;3.下层隧道产生的法向力总是比上层隧道大;4.在多数情况下,下层隧道产生的法向位移和弯曲力矩要比上层隧道小。
