Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The subject follows the subject named „Blasting Operation and Rock Disintegration“. The content is deepening the knowledge for designing of geometric and explosive parameters of various types of technical blasting. Students will be able to design the parameters of technical blasting separately, based on a specific assignment. The assignment may include a requirement for proper rock disintegration, blasting with discard of material, non-excavating blasting, shaking or destructive blasting. It is assumed the ability of student to design the most appropriate type of blasting. The student will be able to predict the value of the damaging effects of the planned blasting and to interpret the result of seismic measurements in view of possible damage on buildings. The subject forms a suitable pre-stage for subsequent study to obtain the authorization of explosive manager, respectively technical heads of explosive works.

Summary

The subject defines the basic concepts in the field of technical blasting. The main objective is to explain the design of different type of blasting, the partial aim is directed to compile knowledge on the use of technical blasting for various purposes. It is also referred to the analysis of the damaging effects of blasting works focusing on the seismic loading of buildings (methodology according Czech Technical Standard CSN 73 0040). Summary of topics: Technical blasting Disintegration theory of hard materials The calculation principle of concentrated charges Principle of breaking and calculation of cylindrical charges Basic characteristics of individual cumulative blasting Designing of cumulative blasting Geometric parameters of the charge system Initiator and inflammation of bench blasting and areal blasting Projection of coyote-hole and combined blasting Cumulative blasting technology Secondary blasting Shaking blasting Blasting with controlled discard of material Blasting on construction works Blasting on one-sided rock excavation Blasting for rock cuts Blasting in construction pits Blasting for destruction Damaging effects of explosion

The project of blast and principles of its solution; Sketch of disintegration using blast; Types of blasts. 2 Design of blasting operations for geotechnical engineering (construction of underground structures, underground and surface mining, road construction, water engineering etc.). 3 Destructive blasting operations (heavy buildings, arches, concrete and reinforced concrete elements, columns and slender structures). 4 Blasting operations for civil engineering (pits, trenches, cuts). 5 Blasting operations for forestry and agriculture. 6 Blasting operations in the new technologies, metalworking, oil and gas exploitation. 7 Air pressure wave generated by blasting operations: on the surface, in underground. 8 Toxicity of gas product after blast, quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Possible reduction, gas product during application of blasting operation in underground spaces. 9 Undesirable flight of the rock after blasting operation.. 10 Seismic effect of blasting operation. Dynamic characteristics of deformable materials and movement in them. Movements in solid materials. Relations between stress and strain. Energy of elastic deformations. Spreading of deformation. Shock waves spreading. Deformation tensor. The equations of movement in deformable materials. Elastic waves and their characteristics. Plane waves. The longitudinal spherical waves in far distances. Occurring of seismic waves during blasting operations. Vibrations in a non-ideal materials. 11 Some questions of seismicity in rock massif. Types of vibration generation in rocks. Recording of waves. Seismic effects of explosions on equipment and structure. Dynamic characteristics of vibration. Relation of the seismic effect on weight of explosives and distances. The energy of vibration and blasting operation parameters. 12 Safety during the technical blastings. 13 Lecture by expert - Case Histories. Tutorials: 1 Design parameters of destructive blasting operation for demolition of heavy buildings. 2 Technological process of destruction of slender structures (e.g. factory chimneys, towers, TV transmitters). 3 Design parameters of blasting operation for excavating of surface trenches or shaking blasting operation for excavating. 4 Technology for implementation of landscaping (road cuts) with the application of contour blasting operation in rock.massif. 5 Determination of specific and technic capacity of gas products after blast. Determination of the initial concentration of toxic gases in the blast - parameters design for separate ventilation of the underground workings with regard to blasting operation. 6 Assessment of seismic effect of blasting operation on surface structures - application of current technical standard. Possibility of reduction of seismic effect by adjusting the parameters of blasting operation. 7 Assessment of seismic effects of blasting operation on underground structures. Multimedia utilities: Audio-visual equipments for lectures including PC presentations PC with special softwares will be used by students.
