Drill and blast is a major method for foundation excavation in nuclear power plant engineering. For transporting heavy components to engineering construction, the blast-induced vibration of foundation excavation in a road corridor may has a great influence on new pouring mass concrete and surrounding bedrock in Xianning Nuclear Power Station, which will affect the safety of the engineering construction. So it is necessary to monitor the process of blasting excavation and put forward effective control measures on blasting vibration effect, in which the peak particle velocity (PPV) attenuation law are investigated through regression analysis of practical field data by Duvall empirical formula and the time-frequency characteristics was analyzed by wavelet transform and wavelet package decomposition. By analyzing the velocity amplitude and power spectrum density amplitude of wavelet components, it shows the blast energy of original vibration signal is mainly within the frequency below 250 Hz and has three sub-band which varies from 10 Hz to 30 Hz, from 40 Hz to70 Hz and from 75 Hz to 125 Hz, respectively. Wavelet packet analysis indicates the energy of the signal in 0-125 Hz accounts for 94.25 % of the total signal. At the same time, for the sake of ensuring the safety of road corridor, Chinese admissibility standards (GB6722-2014) of blasting-induced vibration and the constants obtained from the regression were used to establish the maximum explosive charge per delay for an acceptable ground vibration level that would not cause damage for new pouring mass concrete and bedrock in road corridor. The safety criteria of particle vibration velocity for new pouring mass concrete and bedrock in road corridor could be both set as 5 cm/s, which show the remarkable effect on blasting damage control of the new pouring mass concrete and surrounding bedrock, the results demonstrate that controlling maximum explosive charge per delay methodology can be commendably applied to road corridor to control blasting-induced vibration effects.
Vibration monitoring of blasting excavation of drainage tunnel in Lufeng Nuclear Power Plant is carried out and the data of blasting vibration is analyzed in this paper. The results show that: (1) The vertical vibration velocity of the rock mass is greater than the horizontal radial and horizontal tangential vibration velocity (2) The blasting vibration velocity of rock mass decreases with distance, which is affected by rock structure and explosive quantity. The monitoring research in this paper has guiding significance for vibration prediction and control in tunnel blasting excavation.
The blasting for bedrock excavation on land for open channel project has a great influence on lock gate in Taishan Nuclear Power Station, therefore, based on blasting vibration monitoring data, the attenuation law of blasting vibration signal has been studied through regression analysis of practical test data by Sadaovsk empirical formula and corresponding time-frequency characteristics was analyzed by Empirical Mode Decomposition based on Hilbert-Huang transform. As for those monitoring data, the results of blast vibration velocity for vertical direction are generally larger than horizontal radial and horizontal tangential direction in the near field of blasting source and the peak particle velocity of vertical direction is usually lower than horizontal radial and horizontal tangential direction in the far field of blasting source; at the same time, their main vibration frequency mostly vary from 10 Hz to 80 Hz which is much higher than natural frequency of lock gate and is beneficial to structural safety and stability of surrounding rock mass for reducing the probability of resonance. To ensure the safety of lock gate, it is of great significance to control maximum explosive weight per delay in advance for different distance from monitoring point to the explosion source according to Safety Regulations for Blasting (GB6722-2014), which shows the excellent effect on blasting damage control of the lock gate and surrounding rock mass. The results from the analysis can be for reference to similar blasting design and blasting construction.
