Abstract: | Considering different mechanical cutting tools for excavation of rock, drilling and blasting is said to be inexpensive and
at the same time most acceptable and compatible to any geo-excavation condition. Depending upon strength properties of in-situ
rock mass, characteristics of joint pattern and required quality of blasting, control blasting techniques viz., pre-split
and smooth blasting are commonly implemented to achieve an undamaged periphery rock-wall. To minimize magnitude of damage
or overbreak, the paper emphasized that in-situ stresses and re-distribution of stresses during the process of excavation
should be considered prior to selection of explosive parameters and implementation of any suitable blast pattern. Rock structure
being not massive in nature, the paper firstly explains the influence of discontinuities and design parameters on smooth-wall
blasting. Considering the empirical equations for estimation of stress wave’s magnitude and its attenuation characteristics
through transmitting medium, the paper has put forward a mathematical model for smooth blasting pattern. The model firstly
illustrates that rock burden for each hole should be sub-divided into thin micro strips/slabs to understand the characteristics
of wave transmission through the medium and lastly with the help of beam theory of structural dynamics have put forward a
mathematical model to analyze and design an effective smooth blasting pattern to achieve an undamaged periphery rock-wall. |
