AI Technical Summary
When blasting small-section tunnels, insufficient blasting advance results in long residual holes, affecting construction efficiency and reducing the utilization rate of blast holes, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern infrastructure construction.
The method of combining long and short straight holes is adopted. By arranging straight holes and enlarged holes in the tunnel and combining them with the delay setting of electronic detonators, the effective blasting sequence and charge of each blast hole are ensured, forming a continuous blasting funnel and improving the utilization rate of the blast holes.
It significantly increased the blasting advance from 1.8-2.0m to over 2.5m, reduced the problem of residual holes, and improved construction efficiency and hole utilization.
