Experimental Study on Vibration Reduction Technology of Hole-by-Hole Presplitting Blasting

In order to effectively reduce the disturbance of the precrack blasting vibration on slope rock mass, except paying attention to the damping effect of the precrack, it is also necessary to optimize the blasting parameters and initiation mode of the precrack itself. Based on the blasting theory and empirical formula, the parameters of presplitting blasting such as the hole diameter, hole spacing, charge decoupling coefficient, and line charge density were determined, and field tests of conventional pre-splitting blasting and presplitting blasting with precise delay and hole-by-hole initiation were carried out on the west slope of Buzhaoba. Regression analysis was carried out on the vibration monitoring data, and the blasting vibration attenuation regularity of slope particles was obtained. By comparing the monitored vibration velocity of the two presplitting blasting tests and the forecast results of theoretical calculation, the average reduction rate of the conventional same row blasting vibration is 26.40%, while that of the hole-by-hole blasting vibration can reach 41.45% with a half hole rate of 80.7% and an irregularity of about 130 mm. Results show that the effect of precise delay initiation between preholes based on the digital electronic detonator is better than that of the simultaneous initiation of preholes. Therefore, it is suggested that the hole-by-hole presplitting blasting technology should be applied in the excavation of boundary slope and the treatment of high and steep slope.

Automated summary

Research indicates that, during slope rock mass blasting, optimizing the blasting parameters and initiation mode of the precrack, and utilizing hole-by-hole blasting technology can effectively reduce vibration and enhance blasting efficiency. Precise delay initiation performs better than simultaneous initiation.
