Abstract
Drill and blast is a major method for foundation excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. For transporting heavy components to engineering construction, the blast-induced vibration of foundation excavation in a road corridor may has a great influence on new pouring mass concrete and surrounding bedrock in Xianning Nuclear Power Station, which will affect the safety of the engineering construction. So it is necessary to monitor the process of blasting excavation and put forward effective control measures on blasting vibration effect, in which the peak particle velocity (PPV) attenuation law are investigated through regression analysis of practical field data by Duvall empirical formula and the time-frequency characteristics was analyzed by wavelet transform and wavelet package decomposition. By analyzing the velocity amplitude and power spectrum density amplitude of wavelet components, it shows the blast energy of original vibration signal is mainly within the frequency below 250 Hz and has three sub-band which varies from 10 Hz to 30 Hz, from 40 Hz to70 Hz and from 75 Hz to 125 Hz, respectively. Wavelet packet analysis indicates the energy of the signal in 0-125 Hz accounts for 94.25 % of the total signal. At the same time, for the sake of ensuring the safety of road corridor, Chinese admissibility standards (GB6722-2014) of blasting-induced vibration and the constants obtained from the regression were used to establish the maximum explosive charge per delay for an acceptable ground vibration level that would not cause damage for new pouring mass concrete and bedrock in road corridor. The safety criteria of particle vibration velocity for new pouring mass concrete and bedrock in road corridor could be both set as 5 cm/s, which show the remarkable effect on blasting damage control of the new pouring mass concrete and surrounding bedrock, the results demonstrate that controlling maximum explosive charge per delay methodology can be commendably applied to road corridor to control blasting-induced vibration effects.
