    Blasing in Rock: Powder Factor

    Uploaded by

    pawan paudel
    This document discusses controlled blasting techniques for rock excavation. It provides equations to calculate peak particle velocity from blast charge size and distance, and recommends permissible velocity limits to avoid damage to structures. Threshold velocities are given for different levels of effect from safe to causing cracks. Controlled blasting aims to keep vibrations below these limits to prevent fly rock and damage.

    Peak Particle velocity

    At a given location
    location, peak particle velocity (PPV) depends on
    the distance from the blast and the maximum charge per
    delay. (USBM empirical equation is…)

    Where, V is the peak particle velocity (mm/s), D is the


    distance between the blast and the monitoring station (m),
    Q is the maximum charge per delay (kg), and K and ‘b’ are
    the site constants. Conventionally, D/ Q1/2 is called scaled
    distance.

    threshold, mm/s
    600 New Cracks form in rock
    300 Falls of rock in unlined tunnels
    190 Falls of plaster and serious cracking in buildings
    140 Minor new cracks, opening of old cracks

    100 Safe limit for lined tunnels, reinforced concrete

    50 Safe limit for residential buildings


    30 Feels severe
    10 Disturbing to people
    5 Some complaints likely
    1 Vibrations are noticeable
    <1 Barely perceptible vibrations

    Chae(1978) proposes a range of peak particle velocities as a


    function of the class of structure.
    100mm/s Class A: Structures of substantial construction
    50mm/s Class B: Structures of substantial construction
    25mm/s Class C: Relatively new structures in poor condition
    13mm/s Class D: Old residential structures in very poor condition

    safe distance for various classes of structure.
