Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock blasting technology, and in particular to a quantitative analysis method for cracking modes in jointed rock mass blasting. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale engineering projects such as water conservancy and hydropower, and mining, the blasting excavation of jointed rock masses is a critical construction step. Joints, as naturally occurring fissures in rock masses, significantly affect the propagation of blast stress waves and the rock mass blasting cracking mode, thereby impacting construction efficiency, cost, and safety. Currently, research on the blasting cracking mode of jointed rock masses is primarily qualitative, lacking systematic quantitative analysis methods. This makes it difficult to accurately reveal the influence of joint parameters on blasting cracking, resulting in a lack of scientific basis for blasting parameter design in engineering projects and easily leading to problems such as excessively high block ratios, dust pollution, or uneven rock mass damage. Therefore, a quantitative analysis method for the blasting cracking mode of jointed rock masses is urgently needed to provide technical support for engineering practice. Summary of the Invention

S2. Construct a numerical model for jointed rock mass blasting based on ANSYS / LS-DYNA software, and determine the material parameters and equations of state for rock, joints, explosives and air. The RHT damage model is used for rock and joints, the MAT_HIGH_EXPLOSION_BURN model combined with the EOS_JWL equation of state is used for explosives, and the EOS_LINEAR_POLYNOMIAL equation of state is used for air. S3. Mesh the numerical model, set the overall mesh size to 0.02m, refine the mesh for the boreholes and joints, and apply normal constraints and non-reflection boundary conditions around the model. S4. Set up different joint parameter conditions, including joint-hole spacing, joint width, number of joint layers, joint dip angle, joint density and joint elastic modulus, and carry out blasting numerical simulation to obtain the damage diagram of each condition over time. S5. Use ImageJ software to process the historical damage map. First, perform image preprocessing and noise reduction, and then perform binarization through thresholding to distinguish the damaged area from the undamaged area. S6. Based on the binarized image, statistically analyze the damage area between the joint and the borehole, the area behind the joint, and the crack propagation length and damage area at both ends of the joint. S7. Based on statistical data, analyze the influence of different joint parameters on the blasting cracking mode of jointed rock mass, and realize the quantitative analysis of the blasting cracking mode.

[0009] Preferably, in step S6, when calculating the damage area of ​​the region between the joint and the borehole and the region behind the joint, the region is divided with the joint as the boundary. The region between the joint and the borehole is the region from the center of the borehole to the wave-facing side of the joint, and the region behind the joint is the wave-back side of the joint. The crack propagation length at both ends of the joint is obtained by measuring the distance from the borehole to the crack endpoints at both ends of the joint and taking the average value.

[0017] In step S1, when deriving the stress wave propagation equation, the rock is regarded as an elastic medium.

Each working condition is simulated at least 3 times, and the average value is taken as the final duration damage data.

[0024] In step S7, when analyzing the influence of the joint and borehole spacing on the blasting cracking mode, if the joint and borehole spacing increases from 0.4m to 1.3m, the damage area between the joint and borehole gradually increases and decreases significantly in the range of 1m to 1.3m, the crack propagation length at both ends of the joint gradually increases, and the crack damage area gradually decreases, then it is determined that the increase in the joint and borehole spacing causes the range of cracks generated by the explosive to first increase and then decrease, and the joint's ductility to crack propagation is weakened.
