Experimental Study on Zoning Characteristics of Soft Soil Blasting Disturbance in Sea Embankment Foundation

Abstract

The current research on the mechanism of blasting compaction mainly focuses on how to form a rockfill dam under the action of blasting load, but there is little research on the dynamic response characteristics of soft soil media under blasting. In blasting compaction of deep silt, it is necessary to pay attention to the damage and disturbance effect of explosive explosion on the surrounding soft soil medium, thereby providing new ideas for the study of blasting compaction mechanism of deep silt. With a seawall project in Huizhou as a prototype, based on the blasting similarity theory and through a generalized model and parameter similar design, experimental research on deep silt blasting compaction centrifuge was carried out in a 200g-t centrifuge. The physical and mechanical parameters of the silt soft soil at different positions were acquired through testing before and after the blasting, and property changes of the soft soil medium were analysed under the explosion to speculate disturbance range of the soft soil medium under the explosion effect, and divide the different blasting disturbance areas. The test results provide data support for the optimization of the design parameters of the seawall project, and also provide a useful reference for the study on the blasting compaction mechanism of deep silt and similar engineering practices.
