Research on the control technology of medium-length hole blasting fragmentation in underground mine

The scalloped medium-length hole blasting mining method used in Dahongshan Copper Mine accounted for more than 61%of the total amount of mining,but the large boulder yield restricted the intensity of ore supply for mines,and the average boulder yield was as high as 22.7%.In order to develop the mine production efficiency,the circular medium-length hole blasting technology was proposed and field tests were carried out.The test results showed that circular medium-length hole blasting mining can reduce the average boulder yield to 10.3%.Compared with the traditional scalloped medium-length hole blasting mining,the average boulder yield was decreased by 12.4%.The daily yield of ore for the panel on duty was increased by 152.29 t,and the growth rate was 51.1%.The new technology can reduce the time for the handling of boulder and the consumption of explosives and detonators for recrushing,and increase the efficiency of mining while reduce the mining cost,which has received good blasting effects.

Theoretical and numerical simulation investigation of deep hole dispersed charge cut blasting

Drilling and blasting methods have been used as a common driving technique for shallow-hole driving and blasting in rock roadways.With the advent of digital electronic detonators and the need for increased production efciency,the traditional blasting design is no longer suitable for deep hole blasting.In this paper,a disperse charge cut blasting method was proposed to address the issues of low excavation depth and high block rate in deep hole undercut blasting.First,a blasting model was used to illustrate the mechanism of the deep hole dispersive charge cut blasting process.Then,continuous charge and dispersed charge blasting models were developed using the smooth particle hydrodynamics-fnite element method(SPHFEM).The cutting parameters were determined theoretically,and the cutting efciency was introduced to evaluate the cutting efect.The blasting efects of the two charging models were analyzed utilizing the evolution law of rock damage,the number of rock particles thrown,and the cutting efciency.The results show that using a dispersed charge improves the cutting efciency by about 20%and the rock breakage for the deep hole cut blasting compared to the traditional continuous charge.In addition,important parameters such as cutting hole spacing,cutting hole depth and upper charge proportion also have a signifcant impact on the cutting efect.Finally,the deep hole dispersed charge cut blasting technology is combined with the digital electronic detonator through the feld engineering practice.It provides a reference for the subsequent deep hole cutting blasting and the use of electronic detonators in rock roadways.

ESTIMAING AMOUNT OF EXPLOSIVE FOR FRACTURE PLANE CONTROL BLASTING WITH NOTCHED BOREHOLES

With the development of fracture mechanics,the fracture plane control blasting with notched borcholes hascome into being.This technique is used to create a satisfactory presplit along the contour of an excavation inrock.However,the amount of explosive loaded in each hol usually is determined by trial and error.Because ofthis,two approaches estimating the amount of explosive for the blasting technique are suggested.

Numerical simulation of parallel hole cut blasting with uncharged holes

The cavity formation and propagation process of stress wave from parallel hole cut blasting was simulated with ANSYS/LS-DYNA 3D nonlinear dynamic finite element software. The distribution of element plastic strain, node velocity, node time-acceleration history and the blasting cartridge volume ratio during the process were analyzed. It was found that the detonation of charged holes would cause the interaction of stress wave with the wall of uncharged holes. Initial rock cracking and displacement to neighboring uncharged holes become the main mechanism of cavity formation in early stage.2008 University of Science and Technology Beijing.

Modified scaled distance regression analysis approach for prediction of blast-induced ground vibration in multi-hole blasting

The blast-induced ground vibration prediction using scaled distance regression analysis is one of the most popular methods employed by engineers for many decades. It uses the maximum charge per delay and distance of monitoring as the major factors for predicting the peak particle velocity(PPV). It is established that the PPV is caused by the maximum charge per delay which varies with the distance of monitoring and site geology. While conducting a production blasting, the waves induced by blasting of different holes interfere destructively with each other, which may result in higher PPV than the predicted value with scaled distance regression analysis. This phenomenon of interference/superimposition of waves is not considered while using scaled distance regression analysis. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the predicted values of blast-induced ground vibration using multi-hole trial blasting with single-hole blasting in an opencast coal mine under the same geological condition. Further,the modified prediction equation for the multi-hole trial blasting was obtained using single-hole regression analysis. The error between predicted and actual values of multi-hole blast-induced ground vibration was found to be reduced by 8.5%.

In the study of the application effectiveness of deep-hole controlled pre-splittingblasting technology,it was found through laboratory micro test and field study on a mine insouth China that under the technology,coal masses produce many irreversible cracks.Afterblasting,the nearer the distance from blasting hole,the larger the BET surface areaand volume ratio of the infiltration pore are;they increased by 11.47%and 5.73%,respectively.The coefficient of air permeability is increased 4 times.After 3 months,the gasdrainage rate was increased by 66%.In the first 15 days,the cumulative pumped gas was1.93 times of blasting before.The average absolute gas emission decreased by 63.46%.Experimental results show that deep-hole controlled pre-splitting blasting not only preventscoal and gas outburst,but also gives good economic results.

Influence of delay interval on blasting efficiency of parallel hole cuts with an empty hole

Time interval of short delay ignition is an important factor to affect theefficiency of blasting cuts. The motion process of rock pieces in the cut cavity is analyzed, amechanical model to calculate the delay time of parallel hole cuts is presented for tunnel blasting,and a theoretical method to determine the volume ratio (the clearage rate) of the rock pieceswithin the cut cavity at different moments is proposed for the blasting cut with an empty hole.Numerical analysis results show that the optimal delay interval is proportional to the boreholedepth. The suggested results are of practical value to the optimal design of the delay interval inmillisecond blasting related to the parallel hole cuts with an empty hole.

Velocity of detonation measurement and fragmentation analysis to evaluate blasting efficacy

In holes, the measurement of the velocity of detonation（VOD） helps in comparing and evaluating relative performance of explosives. In this paper a blast performance assessment was conducted based on the results obtained from the steady state VOD measurement of emulsion explosives HEF100 and degree of blast fragmentation conducted on an open pit blast. The aim of this study was to compare the steady state VOD measured in the field and the published VOD of HEF100 under ideal laboratory conditions and ascertain its efficacy. In the trial, a resistance wire continuous VOD measurement system connected to a SpeedVOD was employed to measure and record the steady state VOD values from five different blast holes. Furthermore, a post fragmentation analysis was conducted using the existing fragmentation models and an image processing software. The steady state VOD values recorded from the field ranged between 4981 m/s to 5387 m/s consistent with the published VOD subjected to ideal laboratory conditions and the analyzed fragmentation size distribution indicates that 90% of the blasted muck pile was within the allowable and optimal 700 mm passing size.

Blasting technologies of vibration damping in subway tunnel passing under upper buildings closely

Reducing the blasting vibration is important for blasting excavation in subway tunnel construction.Taking the 3rd bid section of Line 3 of Qingdao subway project as an example,the distance between tunnel vault and ground is 5 ~ 8 m.In order to insure the safety of the upper buildings,technologies of parallel cut with large diameter empty hole,one-time initiation and delay by parts,and multiple shallow holes were adopted in the project.The results showed that the maximum value of vertical vibration was limited in the criterion allowance,and the upper buildings were not damaged.Besides,problems were solved that the number of nonel detonator was difficult to meet the requirements of excavating a large cross-section tunnel by blasting,multiple cross-section could’t be initiated simultaneously,and construction efficiency was low,which ensure the construction safety and schedule.

周边眼偏位空孔爆破设计优化研究与应用

依据已有研究对空孔效应和设置空孔时裂纹扩展规律进行探讨,发现空孔有利于裂纹贯通,对提升爆破效果有一定帮助,但也发现传统的直线型空孔布置会导致裂纹偏向,即在空孔附近转向、偏离原发展路径,影响原设计开挖轮廓。若设置偏位空孔,则可充分利用空孔效应及导向作用以提高开挖质量。对于偏位空孔在爆破中的效应,采用数值模拟研究了不同炮孔间距、空孔偏位角下的裂纹扩展规律和炮孔间贯通情况,探讨了最优偏位角度设计,并根据模拟结果对现场爆破方案进行优化,研究实际应用效果。研究结果表明:偏位空孔对爆生裂纹具有较直线空孔更明显的导向作用,主要表现在爆生裂纹尖端向空孔本身发展或被空孔裂纹引导偏向、最终主裂纹与空孔连通或在空孔范围之外主裂纹相贯通,更利于炮孔主裂纹扩展与贯通;通过提取模拟结果并测量裂纹范围,对于孔间距在60 cm及以下时,适用于周边眼爆破设计的最优偏位角为15°,在此情况下炮孔连线方向形成了与孔心连线相平行的裂纹,能显著提升贯通效果;对于优化后的福厦铁路某隧道爆破施工方案,通过振速监测及超欠挖断面扫描分析,发现周边眼起爆引起的爆破振速降低了超过50%,超欠挖值也由平均25 cm降低至15 cm以内,整体应用效果良好。该项研究可为隧道爆破减振及超欠挖控制研究提供一定参考。

宽孔距爆破模型试验及近场动力学计算研究

针对宽孔距爆破破岩技术中炮孔密集系数合理取值的问题,在总结国内外宽孔距爆破破岩机理的基础上,开展了炮孔密集系数为1.7、2.5、3.5、4.5的有机玻璃板室内爆破试验,并基于常规态型近场动力学原理,开发了爆破计算模块,对宽孔距爆破破岩中裂纹扩展过程、介质位移响应规律进行了研究。结果表明:临空面一侧的径向裂纹受到临空面反射拉伸应力波的作用,表现出向临空面拐角分叉的特征,并逐渐向临空面扩展,最后形成主裂纹组成漏斗形状。在最小抵抗线固定不变条件下,随着炮孔密集系数的增加,应力降低区逐渐增大,同排炮孔间的径向贯通裂隙消失,过大的炮孔密集系数也进一步造成前后排孔间贯通裂纹消失,最后导致单孔爆破的情况发生。位移计算结果进一步证实了上述规律,并且当炮孔密集系数较小时,前排炮孔留下的岩埂刚好被后排炮孔爆破破碎,随着炮孔密集系数的增大,后排孔爆破对前排炮孔所留下的岩埂破碎作用效果逐渐降低。建议实际工程中根据岩体力学性质、地质条件以及爆破目的适当调整密集系数来降低炸药单耗与大块率。

坝基缓坡预裂开挖中不同布孔方式下的爆破扰动比较分析

在坝基缓坡预裂开挖中,为解决传统主爆孔或缓冲孔顺坡布设时(称之为顺坡布孔)钻孔效率低的问题,工程建设者尝试采用了反坡钻孔的方式(称之为反坡布孔),有必要对两种布孔方式下坝基保留岩体扰动情况进行比较分析,以指导工程实践。依托白鹤滩水电站坝基缓坡开挖,分别开展了顺坡布孔与反坡布孔两种开挖方式下的现场爆破试验,同时借助LS-DYNA三维动力有限元模拟,比较分析了两种布孔方式下保留岩体的爆破损伤演化特性与振动分布规律,并揭示了不同布孔方式下的内在力学作用机制,最后综合考虑开挖成型效果与施工速率,对坝基缓坡开挖方案的选择进行了探讨。结果表明:两种布孔方式下由预裂孔引起的保留岩体扰动情况基本一致,区别在于主爆孔或缓冲孔引起的累积损伤效应与爆破振动,内在原因在于炮孔与保留岩体轮廓面夹角的变化。相对顺坡布孔,反坡布孔因增大了主爆孔或缓冲孔与轮廓面的夹角,减少了传输至保留岩体的爆炸能量,有利于减轻对保留岩体的扰动,可减小损伤深度约11.6%~13.9%,降低爆破振动约6.4%~53.7%。
