| Summary: | The success of smooth blasting essentially depends on geological condition of rock. Also, in the
perimeter hole, borehole pressures with light, well-distributed explosive loads are important to
minimise overbreak. In order to simulate perimeter holes with scaled model test, the borehole
pressure was considered as a factor of scale. Hydraulic oil pressure is applied as borehole pressure
instead of using explosives and detonators in order to remove the undesirable effects of detonators
in an experimental set-up of just two perimeter holes in a tunnel blast. The borehole pressure on
a perimeter hole is nearly reproduced with hydraulic pressure which is generated by non-electric
detonators in the hermetical cylinder. |
