Abstract:

In order to optimize the distribution of explosive energy in the smooth blasting of holes around underground projects, improve the hole mark rate and ensure the smooth blasting effect, a calculation method for the energy consumption of cavity expansion is established based on the theory of rock breaking and fracture mechanics. The blasting test is carried out with the cast-in-situ plain concrete model, and the law of variation of blasting size, cavity volume and energy consumption with the decoupling coefficient K is obtained. The research results show that the diameter of cavity expansion is 3.43 cm in the process of increasing from 1.25 to 3.375, the average cavity length is 12.7cm, and the cavity volume ranges from 52.98cm3 to 155.56cm3. The expanding-cavity energy consumption is between 0.58kJ and 1.70kJ, and its proportion in the total explosive energy is between 2.9% and 8.5%, and the volume and energy consumption of cavity expansion decrease with the increase of K. K has the most obvious effect on reducing the energy consumption of cavity expansion when it reaches 3.0~3.5, and then tends to be stable; With the increase of K, the degree of pulverization of the rock on the hole wall by explosive energy is reduced so that the volume of and energy consumption of the cavity are reduced. The results of model test and theoretical analysis are mutually verified. It is indicated that a large decoupling coefficient can be selected to reduce the energy consumption ofcavity expansion in a certain range.
