Small Spacing Tunnels the Blasting Excavation Dynamic Effect

Abstract

Kinetic research of Small spacing tunnel blasting excavation is always the hot issue both at home and abroad. In this paper, the entrance section of a small spacing tunnel is chose as an example, the Explicit dynamic finite element model and the Euler method is adopted to accurately simulate the process of blasting vibration, and the peak vibration velocity response of the tunnel is gotten. Studies has shown that, the peak velocity is more sensitive to space change when clear distance is less than 1.5 times of the hole diameter; various depth of tunnel causes different clamping action of surrounding rock, thus has different effects on peak velocity; vibration velocity at head-burst side is 5-8 times more than that at back side, vibration velocity at tunnel waist is 1.98-2.23 times more than that at up side, vibration velocity at tunnel shoulder is 1.68-1.85 times more than that at up side, so the waist position at head-burst side should be given exclusive attention.
