Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of safe blasting technology, specifically a safe blasting method for deep rock strata in water-saturated zones under low-temperature conditions. Background Technology
[0002] my country has the third largest area of frozen rock distribution in the world, covering approximately 75% of its land area, with the highest concentration of frozen rock at high altitudes. The scale of engineering construction and mineral resource development in my country's cold regions is expanding year by year. However, seasonally frozen areas are susceptible to freeze-thaw cycles caused by seasonal changes and diurnal temperature variations during mining operations. Combined with dynamic loads from mechanical construction, blasting, and seismic disturbances, these factors can easily trigger a series of engineering geological disasters, severely hindering the sustainable development of engineering projects in cold regions and the safe and efficient exploitation of mineral resources.
[0003] Frozen rock exhibits significant dispersion and temperature sensitivity, while dynamic loading itself is random, requiring ample experiments to test its dynamic mechanical properties. Currently, domestic research on the mechanical properties of frozen rock is insufficient, particularly regarding the static and dynamic mechanical properties of low-temperature rocks under saturated conditions and their blastability classification. This leads to unsatisfactory on-site blasting results, a high proportion of large rock fragments, and low excavation and loading efficiency.
[0004] Under low-temperature conditions, the multiphase media within rock pores undergo phase transitions, and mineral particles and matrix shrink upon cooling, leading to significant changes in the rock's mechanical properties. Although scholars both domestically and internationally have conducted extensive research on the strength and dynamic parameters of frozen rocks, much of this research focuses on the deterioration of rock mechanical properties after freeze-thaw cycles. Studies on the dynamic mechanical properties of rocks under freezing conditions are relatively limited, especially research on the dynamic mechanical characteristics of frozen rocks in a saturated state.
[0005] Currently, the blasting techniques used in cold-region rock and soil blasting engineering are mostly based on empirical formulas under conventional conditions, failing to fully consider the impact of factors such as low temperature and water saturation on the mechanical properties of rock and blasting effects. This leads to unreasonable blasting parameter settings and poor blasting results in actual engineering projects, increasing construction costs and safety risks. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safe blasting method for deep rock strata in water-saturated zones under low-temperature conditions, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] Based on test data, a dynamic constitutive model of saturated low-temperature rocks under impact loading is established, taking into account strain rate and low-temperature effect.
[0010] Based on the dynamic constitutive model, the blasting parameters are optimized, including the type of explosive, the amount of explosive, the arrangement of boreholes, and the delay time.
[0011] Preferably, the rock mechanical property test includes:
[0012] Different low-temperature conditions were simulated using a high-low temperature alternating damp heat test chamber; uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were conducted using a rock triaxial press to obtain the compressive strength, shear strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the rock; dynamic impact tests were conducted using a split Hopkinson bar test system to obtain the strain rate, strain, and stress time history curves of the rock under impact load.
[0013] Preferably, the steps for establishing a dynamic constitutive model include:
[0014] The deformation characteristics and dynamic performance evolution of saturated sandstone samples under different low temperatures and strain rates were analyzed; a quantitative relationship between rock mass impact performance and rock mechanical properties based on the impact dynamic performance damage coefficient was proposed; and a dynamic constitutive model of saturated low-temperature sandstone considering strain rate and low-temperature effect was constructed.

[0017] Preferably, the method for classifying the blastability of the rock mass includes:
[0018] A decision-making information system for explosiveness was established by using cluster analysis and multi-index comprehensive evaluation. Wave velocity, wave impedance, strain rate, and energy absorption ratio of low-temperature rocks in the water-saturated zone were statistically analyzed under different working conditions. Regression equations for the explosiveness index were obtained by using correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, and then corrected by field data.
[0019] Preferably, the method also includes preparing concrete models with different porosities to simulate low-temperature rocks in the water-saturated zone with different porosities, conducting uniaxial compression tests and SHPB impact tests, and analyzing the influence of porosity on rock mechanical characteristics and damage processes.
[0020] Concrete models with different porosities were prepared; the variation of elastic modulus, peak stress, and critical damage value with porosity and temperature was analyzed.
[0021] Preferably, the simulated low-temperature rocks in the water-saturated zone with different porosities further include:
[0022] By using foaming agents to approximate the pores in rocks, an empirical formula for concrete strength based on the target porosity is established; by adjusting the foam volume, the porosity of the concrete model is controlled to simulate rocks with different porosities.
[0023] Preferably, it also includes on-site application and effect evaluation steps:
[0024] In actual engineering projects, field blasting tests are conducted to record rock properties, field conditions, blasting effects, explosive performance, and blasting parameters. Based on the field test data, the blasting effect is evaluated, and the blasting parameter model is verified and optimized.
[0025] Preferably, the on-site application and effect evaluation also includes:
[0026] High-speed cameras and 3D laser scanners were used to record crack propagation, deformation, and fragmentation during the blasting process; block size analysis software was used to statistically analyze the distribution of blasted blocks and assess the degree of blasting fragmentation.

[0028] Develop detailed project implementation plans and schedules, clarifying the tasks and objectives of each stage; establish a project management and quality control system to ensure that the project proceeds as planned and achieves the expected technical and economic indicators and socio-economic benefits.
[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0030] This invention proposes a safe blasting method for deep, water-saturated rock strata under low-temperature conditions. It reveals the static and dynamic mechanical properties of water-saturated low-temperature rocks under different temperatures and strain rates, establishes a dynamic constitutive model, and provides a scientific basis for engineering design and blasting parameter optimization in cold regions. This helps engineers more accurately predict and control rock fragmentation behavior during blasting, improving blasting efficiency and safety.
[0031] A predictive optimization model for blasting parameters is proposed. This model can automatically adjust parameters such as explosive type, charge quantity, borehole layout, and delay time based on actual site conditions, thereby optimizing blasting results. This not only reduces the rate of large fragments and foundation fragments, and improves loading efficiency, but also reduces the impact of flyrock and vibration on the surrounding environment.
[0032] By optimizing blasting parameters, this project can significantly reduce the number of blasts and the amount of explosives consumed, thereby lowering construction costs. At the same time, the optimized blasting parameters can also reduce flyrock and vibration generated during blasting, lowering safety risks to surrounding buildings and personnel, and improving construction safety.
