TL;DR
This study evaluates how different cone angles in C-type cumulative tubes affect tunnel blasting outcomes, aiming to reduce excavation issues and improve construction efficiency.
Contribution
The study introduces optimized cone angles for cumulative charges in different rock grades to enhance blasting efficiency and reduce excavation problems.
Findings
A 65° cone angle performed best in III-level rock, while a 55° angle was optimal for IV-level rock.
The cumulative charge method reduced over-excavation by 58.3% and improved half-hole preservation by 41.7%.
Compared to traditional methods, the technique increased contour hole spacing by 12–18% and cut construction costs by 23.5%.
Abstract
Over-excavation and under-excavation are common issues in tunnel construction using the drilling and blasting method. In some cases, traditional blasting techniques may fail to achieve the desired results. This study systematically investigates the blasting-induced damage effects of C-type cumulative tubes with varying cone angles in different grades of tunnel surrounding rock, aiming to mitigate over-excavation and under-excavation issues while enhancing construction efficiency. First, the working principles of cumulative charges and their mechanisms in rock penetration and fragmentation were systematically analyzed based on the fundamental theory of cumulative blasting. Subsequently, numerical models of single-hole cumulative blasting were developed for both III-level and IV-level surrounding rock conditions to examine the influence of cumulative cone angles on rock crack propagation.…
