Abstract

In order to increase the accuracy of rock blast-ability classification, the comprehensive evaluation model of rock blast-ability classification was established based on uncertainty measurement theory by eight factors including rock density, tensile strength, impact strength, integrity coefficient, compressive strength, sturdiness coefficient, wave impedance and explosive specific charge. The uncertainty measurement function was obtained based on the in-situ data; entropy theory was used to calculate the index weight of all indexes, and the comprehensive evaluation results of rock blast-ability classification were obtained using the rules of credible recognition criteria. In order to optimize the blasting design, the evaluation model was used to evaluate the rock blast-ability in Guiyang Chaoyangdong road engineering and the evaluation results fit in anecdotally with actual situation. Therefore, the evaluation model was a significant basis for promoting the blast effect.

Abstract

The fractures in rock influence propagation behavior of blasting waves and then it may result in higher blasting boulder yield and affect blasting result. According to the character of rock with closed macro fractures, the features of stress wave propagation in the rock with one inclined fracture, two parallel fractures and two crossed fractures were studied. The numerical models were established in 3DEC combined with LS-DYNA. The explosion wave was simulated by LS-DYNA and transformed into data form readable for 3DEC. Then the propagation behavior of blasting wave was calculated by 3DEC. The computation results show that the stress wave distributed differently in rock with different fractures. Comparing with intact rock, fractures can divide the stress region into parts. The minimum principal stress reduced quickly with the number of fractures increasing. In rock with two crossed fractures, the value of tensile stress near the blasthole reduced about 30 percent.
