1 Introduction

Blasting excavation has been widely used in mining waterand hydropower engineering highway municipal infra-structure construction and other fields [1] Althoughblasting is an indispensable efficient and economical ex-cavation technology it inevitably brings adverse effects onthe surrounding buildings and environment In order tocontrol the blasting vibration it is necessary to predict thevibration induced by blasting [2] In recent years the re-search on blasting vibration velocity has formed a maturesystem and peak particle velocity (PPV) is often used as acriterion for evaluating blasting vibration safety [3] Bycontrast the study on the prediction of blasting vibrationfrequency is much less In fact more and more researchesrevealed that when the dominant frequency of blasting vi-bration is close to the natural frequency of the structure itwill produce resonance effect and easily cause damage to thestructures even if the PPV is in the range of safety standard[4 5] -erefore it is also of great significance to study the

attenuation law of the dominated frequency to keep theunderprotected structure stability and safety

-e dominant frequency induced by blasting is affectedby many factors including characteristics of explosionsource distance away from explosion source and physical-mechanical properties of rock [6] Among them Zhonget al [7] have found that the dominant frequency bandshifts from mid-high frequency to low frequency and thedominant frequency band become more concentrated withthe increase of the distance away from explosion sourcethe charge weight per delay and the decrease of thenumber of delay in millisecond detonation Yang et al [8]has found that the vibration frequency of breaking blast-hole of full-face millisecond delay blasting in undergroundopening excavation increases as the burden decreases Linget al [9] have studied the difference of energy distributioncharacteristics of blasting vibration signals in frequencydomain under single-delay blasting and multidelay milli-second blasting by using wavelet analysis technologyTripathy and Gupta [10] have indicated that the vibration

induced by blasting is diversified with the rock and geo-logical condition

-e majority of factors affecting the dominant frequencyof blasting vibration can hardly be described quantitativelyAs a result it is very difficult to accurately obtain the at-tenuation law of the dominant frequency [11] Generallyspeaking the dominant frequency of blasting vibrationdecreases exponentially with the increase of the distanceaway from the explosion source due to the high-frequencyfiltering characteristics of rock [12] In recent years with theprogress of the analysis technique of blasting vibrationspectrum many prediction formulas have been proposed byusing the method of artificial neural network [13] supportvector machine [14] and gene expression programming[15] Although these formulas can obtain favorable fittingcorrelation they are difficult to apply in engineer practicebecause of its too complex fitting parameters and calcula-tion -erefore it is necessary to obtain a simple andpracticable formula which can reflect the changes of thedominant frequency with distance

2 The Attenuation Equation of DominantFrequency Induced by Blasting

21 Analysis of Main Influencing Factors of the DominantFrequency -e explosive releases enormous energy in theprocess of blasting in rock which mainly transforms intoblasting shock wave stress wave and blasting gas In theprocess of stress wave propagation in rock due to the energyattenuation of wave and the damp absorption effect of rockthe properties and waveforms of stress wave will changecorrespondingly with distances It will form the crushingzone cracking zone and elastic zone successively with thedistance far from the blastholes [1] In order to analyze thepropagation and attenuation of blasting seismic wave byusing elastic wave theory the inelastic zone (crushing zoneand cracking zone) near the blastholes is equivalent to theblasting source and the blasting load is acted on theequivalent elastic boundary (cracking boundary ie theouter boundary of the crushing zone) -erefore the the-oretical solution of the elastic wave excited by a sphericalcavity in an elastic medium can be adopted and the theo-retical solution is given by Favreau [16]

where σmax is the peak value of the blasting load τ1 is therising time of the blasting load and τ2 is the time of blastingload reduction from peak to zero

Bymeans of the Fourier transform the velocity spectrumof blasting vibration in the elastic rock mass can be obtainedas follows [8 17]

It can be concluded from equation (7) that the maininfluencing factors of velocity spectrum include threeaspects firstly the distance away from blasting sourcer secondly the parameters of rock λ μ ] and CP andfinally the parameters of blasting such as the radius ofelastic cavity (the cracking zone) a and load parameters aebe and τ

2 Shock and Vibration

In practical compared with spherical charge cylindricalcharge is used in open-pit blasting excavationmore frequentlywhich is in advantage of its more uniform distribution ofexplosive energy in rock mass Although the theoretical so-lution discussed previously is aiming at the spherical charge infact analysis of the experimental data showed that blasts ofcylindrical charges are similar to the processes observed inseismic investigations of blasts with spherical charges [17]-is is because spherical and cylindrical waves excited byspherical or cylindrical explosive sources can be regarded asplane waves when they propagate to the far region [1] If theelastic cavity formed by cylindrical charge blasting is regardedas an equivalent blasting source the blasting load will beapplied to the boundary of the elastic cavity -e radius of theequivalent blasting source will be the radius of the boundary ofthe elastic cavity a as shown in Figure 1

However in the process of cylindrical charge blastingsome explosive energy will propagate in the form of stress wavein rock According to the different propagation paths of waveit can be divided into body wave and surface wave -epropagation of body wave in rock mass can be divided intocompressive wave (P-wave) and shear wave (S-wave) In termsof the existence of the surface free surface the surface wave (S-wave) will also appear on the surface free surface of the semi-infinite space which is the most significant symbol differentfrom the spherical charge blasting in infinite rockmass In factstudies have shown that for vertical hole blasting the P-wave isan important component for both near and far distance and itmainly acts on the horizontal and radial vibrations the S-waveis only the dominant wave in the near zone and its role in thefar zone can be neglected the R-wave grows and developsgradually at a farther distance and it will have a major impacton vertical vibration [2] -erefore if taking the elastic cavityformed by cylindrical blasting as a spherical blasting sourcethe radial vibration induced by the cylindrical blasting sourcewill be closer to the vibration induced by the spherical blastingsource than that of vertical direction as shown in Figure 1

Considering the condition of single-hole blasting themultiple-hole blasting is equivalent to the elastic superpo-sition of each single hole as shown in Figure 2

Figure 3 illustrates the changes of the dominant fre-quency of blasting vibration with distance where the dis-tance away from the blasting source is r1lt r2lt r3 and thedominant frequency of each distance is f1gt f2gt f3 -edominated frequency used to fitting analyzing in this paperis zero-crossing dominant frequency which is also shown inFigure 3 and it is the most commonly used form ofdominant frequency when the waveform has a clear peak [2]

22 Dimensional Analysis of the Dominant Frequency It isknown from the previous analysis that the vibration inducedby elastic spherical cavity mainly depends on the longitu-dinal wave velocity CP the radius of the elastic cavity a thedensity of the rock ρ the charge weight Q and the distancebetween the blasting source with the measuring points r asshown in Table 1

Among all the parameters shown in Table 1 a CP and ρare independent with each other and include three basicdimensions of measurement mass M length L and time T

which are selected as the main parameters of the dominatedfrequency by using the dimensional analysis method

Based on the π-theorem three nondimensional equa-tions are established as follows [18]

-e values of dominant frequency of single-hole andmultiple-hole blasting are given in Table 3

Since both 1 and 2 experiments were carried out in3 massif they were fitted together Multiple-hole blastingis different from single-hole blasting in vibration wave-form and spectrum characteristics due to the superposi-tion and the influence of detonator delay As a resultsingle-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting are fittedseparately -e fitting results of the attenuation rule for thedominant frequency of single-hole and multiple-holeblasting by equation (16) are presented in Figures 11and 12 and Table 4

-e proposed equation (17) generally has obtained afavorably correlation coefficient in 3 massif -e dominantfrequency of blasting vibration in multiple-hole blasting isdecaying faster than that in single-hole blasting which is alsoconfirmed by Zhang et al [20] In addition the fittingcorrelation coefficient of dominant frequency in X-directionis generally higher than that of the other two directions andthe vertical direction obtains the worst relevance which is incompliance with previous discussion that the radial vibra-tion is normally perceived to be related to the P-wave whilethe vibration in vertical is normally considered to beinfluenced most by the R-wave reflected by the free face onthe ground [2] As a result for surface vibration the fittingcorrelation coefficient of radial vibration is higher than thatof vertical vibration

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

induced by blasting is diversified with the rock and geo-logical condition

-e majority of factors affecting the dominant frequencyof blasting vibration can hardly be described quantitativelyAs a result it is very difficult to accurately obtain the at-tenuation law of the dominant frequency [11] Generallyspeaking the dominant frequency of blasting vibrationdecreases exponentially with the increase of the distanceaway from the explosion source due to the high-frequencyfiltering characteristics of rock [12] In recent years with theprogress of the analysis technique of blasting vibrationspectrum many prediction formulas have been proposed byusing the method of artificial neural network [13] supportvector machine [14] and gene expression programming[15] Although these formulas can obtain favorable fittingcorrelation they are difficult to apply in engineer practicebecause of its too complex fitting parameters and calcula-tion -erefore it is necessary to obtain a simple andpracticable formula which can reflect the changes of thedominant frequency with distance

21 Analysis of Main Influencing Factors of the DominantFrequency -e explosive releases enormous energy in theprocess of blasting in rock which mainly transforms intoblasting shock wave stress wave and blasting gas In theprocess of stress wave propagation in rock due to the energyattenuation of wave and the damp absorption effect of rockthe properties and waveforms of stress wave will changecorrespondingly with distances It will form the crushingzone cracking zone and elastic zone successively with thedistance far from the blastholes [1] In order to analyze thepropagation and attenuation of blasting seismic wave byusing elastic wave theory the inelastic zone (crushing zoneand cracking zone) near the blastholes is equivalent to theblasting source and the blasting load is acted on theequivalent elastic boundary (cracking boundary ie theouter boundary of the crushing zone) -erefore the the-oretical solution of the elastic wave excited by a sphericalcavity in an elastic medium can be adopted and the theo-retical solution is given by Favreau [16]

where σmax is the peak value of the blasting load τ1 is therising time of the blasting load and τ2 is the time of blastingload reduction from peak to zero

2 Shock and Vibration

In practical compared with spherical charge cylindricalcharge is used in open-pit blasting excavationmore frequentlywhich is in advantage of its more uniform distribution ofexplosive energy in rock mass Although the theoretical so-lution discussed previously is aiming at the spherical charge infact analysis of the experimental data showed that blasts ofcylindrical charges are similar to the processes observed inseismic investigations of blasts with spherical charges [17]-is is because spherical and cylindrical waves excited byspherical or cylindrical explosive sources can be regarded asplane waves when they propagate to the far region [1] If theelastic cavity formed by cylindrical charge blasting is regardedas an equivalent blasting source the blasting load will beapplied to the boundary of the elastic cavity -e radius of theequivalent blasting source will be the radius of the boundary ofthe elastic cavity a as shown in Figure 1

However in the process of cylindrical charge blastingsome explosive energy will propagate in the form of stress wavein rock According to the different propagation paths of waveit can be divided into body wave and surface wave -epropagation of body wave in rock mass can be divided intocompressive wave (P-wave) and shear wave (S-wave) In termsof the existence of the surface free surface the surface wave (S-wave) will also appear on the surface free surface of the semi-infinite space which is the most significant symbol differentfrom the spherical charge blasting in infinite rockmass In factstudies have shown that for vertical hole blasting the P-wave isan important component for both near and far distance and itmainly acts on the horizontal and radial vibrations the S-waveis only the dominant wave in the near zone and its role in thefar zone can be neglected the R-wave grows and developsgradually at a farther distance and it will have a major impacton vertical vibration [2] -erefore if taking the elastic cavityformed by cylindrical blasting as a spherical blasting sourcethe radial vibration induced by the cylindrical blasting sourcewill be closer to the vibration induced by the spherical blastingsource than that of vertical direction as shown in Figure 1

Considering the condition of single-hole blasting themultiple-hole blasting is equivalent to the elastic superpo-sition of each single hole as shown in Figure 2

Figure 3 illustrates the changes of the dominant fre-quency of blasting vibration with distance where the dis-tance away from the blasting source is r1lt r2lt r3 and thedominant frequency of each distance is f1gt f2gt f3 -edominated frequency used to fitting analyzing in this paperis zero-crossing dominant frequency which is also shown inFigure 3 and it is the most commonly used form ofdominant frequency when the waveform has a clear peak [2]

22 Dimensional Analysis of the Dominant Frequency It isknown from the previous analysis that the vibration inducedby elastic spherical cavity mainly depends on the longitu-dinal wave velocity CP the radius of the elastic cavity a thedensity of the rock ρ the charge weight Q and the distancebetween the blasting source with the measuring points r asshown in Table 1

Among all the parameters shown in Table 1 a CP and ρare independent with each other and include three basicdimensions of measurement mass M length L and time T

which are selected as the main parameters of the dominatedfrequency by using the dimensional analysis method

Based on the π-theorem three nondimensional equa-tions are established as follows [18]

Two blasting sites have been arranged in phase II asshown in Figure 6 -ere are two blasting experiments ineach of the both blasting sites which have been analyzed inorder to verify the effectiveness of the proposed equation-e dominant frequency of the field measured blasting from1 and 2 experiments in 3 massif to 3 and 4 experimentsin 5 massif will be selected to fitting analyze -e vibrationlogging and analysis system used in field observation con-sists of three parts three-axis velocity transducers a blastingvibration intelligent monitor (Blast-UM) and computersinstalled with Blast-UM software used to withdraw andprocess test data Typical blasting measuring points anddevices are shown in Figure 7

In 1 and 2 experiment a single-hole blasting was set inthe last delay of the multiple-hole blasting to observe thedominant frequency attenuation law of single-hole blastingand multiple-hole blasting respectively Among them sixand eight surface blasting vibration measurement pointswere arranged in 1 and 2 experiment respectively -emultiple-hole blasting is detonated by holes MS3 detonatorsare used between holes MS5 detonators are used betweenrows and single-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting areseparated by theMS10 detonator MS3MS5MS10 representthe millisecond with 50110650ms as shown in Figures 8and 9 And a stereo sketch of the layout of measuring pointsis provided in the red-dotted frame

Figure 10 gives the typical time history curves of blastingvibration of the 1 measuring point in 1 experiment as anexample Blasting vibration is divided into two parts thefront part is multiple-hole blasting and the rear part is single-hole blasting In order to facilitate observation differentcolors are used to indicate the blasting vibration -edominant frequency of the two parts is marked in the figure

-e values of dominant frequency of single-hole andmultiple-hole blasting are given in Table 3

Since both 1 and 2 experiments were carried out in3 massif they were fitted together Multiple-hole blastingis different from single-hole blasting in vibration wave-form and spectrum characteristics due to the superposi-tion and the influence of detonator delay As a resultsingle-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting are fittedseparately -e fitting results of the attenuation rule for thedominant frequency of single-hole and multiple-holeblasting by equation (16) are presented in Figures 11and 12 and Table 4

-e proposed equation (17) generally has obtained afavorably correlation coefficient in 3 massif -e dominantfrequency of blasting vibration in multiple-hole blasting isdecaying faster than that in single-hole blasting which is alsoconfirmed by Zhang et al [20] In addition the fittingcorrelation coefficient of dominant frequency in X-directionis generally higher than that of the other two directions andthe vertical direction obtains the worst relevance which is incompliance with previous discussion that the radial vibra-tion is normally perceived to be related to the P-wave whilethe vibration in vertical is normally considered to beinfluenced most by the R-wave reflected by the free face onthe ground [2] As a result for surface vibration the fittingcorrelation coefficient of radial vibration is higher than thatof vertical vibration

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

Page 3: Analysis of the Main Factors Influencing the Dominant

In practical compared with spherical charge cylindricalcharge is used in open-pit blasting excavationmore frequentlywhich is in advantage of its more uniform distribution ofexplosive energy in rock mass Although the theoretical so-lution discussed previously is aiming at the spherical charge infact analysis of the experimental data showed that blasts ofcylindrical charges are similar to the processes observed inseismic investigations of blasts with spherical charges [17]-is is because spherical and cylindrical waves excited byspherical or cylindrical explosive sources can be regarded asplane waves when they propagate to the far region [1] If theelastic cavity formed by cylindrical charge blasting is regardedas an equivalent blasting source the blasting load will beapplied to the boundary of the elastic cavity -e radius of theequivalent blasting source will be the radius of the boundary ofthe elastic cavity a as shown in Figure 1

However in the process of cylindrical charge blastingsome explosive energy will propagate in the form of stress wavein rock According to the different propagation paths of waveit can be divided into body wave and surface wave -epropagation of body wave in rock mass can be divided intocompressive wave (P-wave) and shear wave (S-wave) In termsof the existence of the surface free surface the surface wave (S-wave) will also appear on the surface free surface of the semi-infinite space which is the most significant symbol differentfrom the spherical charge blasting in infinite rockmass In factstudies have shown that for vertical hole blasting the P-wave isan important component for both near and far distance and itmainly acts on the horizontal and radial vibrations the S-waveis only the dominant wave in the near zone and its role in thefar zone can be neglected the R-wave grows and developsgradually at a farther distance and it will have a major impacton vertical vibration [2] -erefore if taking the elastic cavityformed by cylindrical blasting as a spherical blasting sourcethe radial vibration induced by the cylindrical blasting sourcewill be closer to the vibration induced by the spherical blastingsource than that of vertical direction as shown in Figure 1

Considering the condition of single-hole blasting themultiple-hole blasting is equivalent to the elastic superpo-sition of each single hole as shown in Figure 2

Figure 3 illustrates the changes of the dominant fre-quency of blasting vibration with distance where the dis-tance away from the blasting source is r1lt r2lt r3 and thedominant frequency of each distance is f1gt f2gt f3 -edominated frequency used to fitting analyzing in this paperis zero-crossing dominant frequency which is also shown inFigure 3 and it is the most commonly used form ofdominant frequency when the waveform has a clear peak [2]

22 Dimensional Analysis of the Dominant Frequency It isknown from the previous analysis that the vibration inducedby elastic spherical cavity mainly depends on the longitu-dinal wave velocity CP the radius of the elastic cavity a thedensity of the rock ρ the charge weight Q and the distancebetween the blasting source with the measuring points r asshown in Table 1

Among all the parameters shown in Table 1 a CP and ρare independent with each other and include three basicdimensions of measurement mass M length L and time T

which are selected as the main parameters of the dominatedfrequency by using the dimensional analysis method

In 1 and 2 experiment a single-hole blasting was set inthe last delay of the multiple-hole blasting to observe thedominant frequency attenuation law of single-hole blastingand multiple-hole blasting respectively Among them sixand eight surface blasting vibration measurement pointswere arranged in 1 and 2 experiment respectively -emultiple-hole blasting is detonated by holes MS3 detonatorsare used between holes MS5 detonators are used betweenrows and single-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting areseparated by theMS10 detonator MS3MS5MS10 representthe millisecond with 50110650ms as shown in Figures 8and 9 And a stereo sketch of the layout of measuring pointsis provided in the red-dotted frame

Figure 10 gives the typical time history curves of blastingvibration of the 1 measuring point in 1 experiment as anexample Blasting vibration is divided into two parts thefront part is multiple-hole blasting and the rear part is single-hole blasting In order to facilitate observation differentcolors are used to indicate the blasting vibration -edominant frequency of the two parts is marked in the figure

-e values of dominant frequency of single-hole andmultiple-hole blasting are given in Table 3

Since both 1 and 2 experiments were carried out in3 massif they were fitted together Multiple-hole blastingis different from single-hole blasting in vibration wave-form and spectrum characteristics due to the superposi-tion and the influence of detonator delay As a resultsingle-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting are fittedseparately -e fitting results of the attenuation rule for thedominant frequency of single-hole and multiple-holeblasting by equation (16) are presented in Figures 11and 12 and Table 4

-e proposed equation (17) generally has obtained afavorably correlation coefficient in 3 massif -e dominantfrequency of blasting vibration in multiple-hole blasting isdecaying faster than that in single-hole blasting which is alsoconfirmed by Zhang et al [20] In addition the fittingcorrelation coefficient of dominant frequency in X-directionis generally higher than that of the other two directions andthe vertical direction obtains the worst relevance which is incompliance with previous discussion that the radial vibra-tion is normally perceived to be related to the P-wave whilethe vibration in vertical is normally considered to beinfluenced most by the R-wave reflected by the free face onthe ground [2] As a result for surface vibration the fittingcorrelation coefficient of radial vibration is higher than thatof vertical vibration

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

where Q is the charge weight H is the bench height S is theblastholes spacing and B is the row spacing

In mining bench blasting bench height H is generallyadopted as (15ndash20)B stemming length is (07ndash10)B dril-ling depth is 03B blastholes spacing S (10ndash20)B and rowspacing B and drilling diameter d have a relationship ofB (25ndash35)d [1] So according to the assumption in Section21 and the proportional relationship among dishyerentblasting parameters mentioned above equation (15) is stillvalid for cylindrical charge blasting

Moreover with the increase of the distance away fromthe blasting source the wave front formed by the blasting

seismic wave is cylindrical wave front Revised from thetheory of cylindrical waves in reference to the attenuationformula of PPV [19] equation (15) can be rewritten asfollows

Two blasting sites have been arranged in phase II asshown in Figure 6 -ere are two blasting experiments ineach of the both blasting sites which have been analyzed inorder to verify the effectiveness of the proposed equation-e dominant frequency of the field measured blasting from1 and 2 experiments in 3 massif to 3 and 4 experimentsin 5 massif will be selected to fitting analyze -e vibrationlogging and analysis system used in field observation con-sists of three parts three-axis velocity transducers a blastingvibration intelligent monitor (Blast-UM) and computersinstalled with Blast-UM software used to withdraw andprocess test data Typical blasting measuring points anddevices are shown in Figure 7

In 1 and 2 experiment a single-hole blasting was set inthe last delay of the multiple-hole blasting to observe thedominant frequency attenuation law of single-hole blastingand multiple-hole blasting respectively Among them sixand eight surface blasting vibration measurement pointswere arranged in 1 and 2 experiment respectively -emultiple-hole blasting is detonated by holes MS3 detonatorsare used between holes MS5 detonators are used betweenrows and single-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting areseparated by theMS10 detonator MS3MS5MS10 representthe millisecond with 50110650ms as shown in Figures 8and 9 And a stereo sketch of the layout of measuring pointsis provided in the red-dotted frame

Figure 10 gives the typical time history curves of blastingvibration of the 1 measuring point in 1 experiment as anexample Blasting vibration is divided into two parts thefront part is multiple-hole blasting and the rear part is single-hole blasting In order to facilitate observation differentcolors are used to indicate the blasting vibration -edominant frequency of the two parts is marked in the figure

-e values of dominant frequency of single-hole andmultiple-hole blasting are given in Table 3

Since both 1 and 2 experiments were carried out in3 massif they were fitted together Multiple-hole blastingis different from single-hole blasting in vibration wave-form and spectrum characteristics due to the superposi-tion and the influence of detonator delay As a resultsingle-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting are fittedseparately -e fitting results of the attenuation rule for thedominant frequency of single-hole and multiple-holeblasting by equation (16) are presented in Figures 11and 12 and Table 4

-e proposed equation (17) generally has obtained afavorably correlation coefficient in 3 massif -e dominantfrequency of blasting vibration in multiple-hole blasting isdecaying faster than that in single-hole blasting which is alsoconfirmed by Zhang et al [20] In addition the fittingcorrelation coefficient of dominant frequency in X-directionis generally higher than that of the other two directions andthe vertical direction obtains the worst relevance which is incompliance with previous discussion that the radial vibra-tion is normally perceived to be related to the P-wave whilethe vibration in vertical is normally considered to beinfluenced most by the R-wave reflected by the free face onthe ground [2] As a result for surface vibration the fittingcorrelation coefficient of radial vibration is higher than thatof vertical vibration

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

Two blasting sites have been arranged in phase II asshown in Figure 6 -ere are two blasting experiments ineach of the both blasting sites which have been analyzed inorder to verify the effectiveness of the proposed equation-e dominant frequency of the field measured blasting from1 and 2 experiments in 3 massif to 3 and 4 experimentsin 5 massif will be selected to fitting analyze -e vibrationlogging and analysis system used in field observation con-sists of three parts three-axis velocity transducers a blastingvibration intelligent monitor (Blast-UM) and computersinstalled with Blast-UM software used to withdraw andprocess test data Typical blasting measuring points anddevices are shown in Figure 7

32 Experiments in 3 Massif 1 and 2 experiments areconducted in the platform with elevation of 16m in 3massif 1 experiment is located on the northwest side of theplatform and 2 experiment is located on the north side ofthe platform -e diameter of the blasting holes is 115mmand the diameter of the explosive is 90mm -e detailedblasting parameters of the two experiments are shown inTable 2

In 1 and 2 experiment a single-hole blasting was set inthe last delay of the multiple-hole blasting to observe thedominant frequency attenuation law of single-hole blastingand multiple-hole blasting respectively Among them sixand eight surface blasting vibration measurement pointswere arranged in 1 and 2 experiment respectively -emultiple-hole blasting is detonated by holes MS3 detonatorsare used between holes MS5 detonators are used betweenrows and single-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting areseparated by theMS10 detonator MS3MS5MS10 representthe millisecond with 50110650ms as shown in Figures 8and 9 And a stereo sketch of the layout of measuring pointsis provided in the red-dotted frame

Figure 10 gives the typical time history curves of blastingvibration of the 1 measuring point in 1 experiment as anexample Blasting vibration is divided into two parts thefront part is multiple-hole blasting and the rear part is single-hole blasting In order to facilitate observation differentcolors are used to indicate the blasting vibration -edominant frequency of the two parts is marked in the figure

-e values of dominant frequency of single-hole andmultiple-hole blasting are given in Table 3

Since both 1 and 2 experiments were carried out in3 massif they were fitted together Multiple-hole blastingis different from single-hole blasting in vibration wave-form and spectrum characteristics due to the superposi-tion and the influence of detonator delay As a resultsingle-hole blasting and multiple-hole blasting are fittedseparately -e fitting results of the attenuation rule for thedominant frequency of single-hole and multiple-holeblasting by equation (16) are presented in Figures 11and 12 and Table 4

-e proposed equation (17) generally has obtained afavorably correlation coefficient in 3 massif -e dominantfrequency of blasting vibration in multiple-hole blasting isdecaying faster than that in single-hole blasting which is alsoconfirmed by Zhang et al [20] In addition the fittingcorrelation coefficient of dominant frequency in X-directionis generally higher than that of the other two directions andthe vertical direction obtains the worst relevance which is incompliance with previous discussion that the radial vibra-tion is normally perceived to be related to the P-wave whilethe vibration in vertical is normally considered to beinfluenced most by the R-wave reflected by the free face onthe ground [2] As a result for surface vibration the fittingcorrelation coefficient of radial vibration is higher than thatof vertical vibration

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

4 Comparison with Other Formulas

In recent years although the frequency of blasting vibration isbeing paid more attention and most of blasting vibrationcontrol standards are frequency-dependent the prediction offrequency is still the most dicult in terms of the numerousinuencing factors which is dicult to quantify But manyscholars still have conducted quantities of in-depth studiese blasting vibration frequency was initially put forward by

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

4 Comparison with Other Formulas

In recent years although the frequency of blasting vibration isbeing paid more attention and most of blasting vibrationcontrol standards are frequency-dependent the prediction offrequency is still the most dicult in terms of the numerousinuencing factors which is dicult to quantify But manyscholars still have conducted quantities of in-depth studiese blasting vibration frequency was initially put forward by

It can be seen from Table 8 that equation (17) generallyperforms better than most of other formulas and the fittingcorrelation coefficient is only lower than equation (22)However it is worth noting that although the fitting corre-lation coefficient obtained by equation (22) is generally the

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

e proposed equation (17) also has obtained a fa-vorable correlation coecient in 5 massif And the ttingcorrelation coecient of dominant frequency in X-di-rection is still higher than the vertical direction Moreoverboth of the amplitude and the attenuation speed of thedominant frequency in X-direction are larger than that invertical direction which is also in compliance with pre-vious discussion that the radial vibration is more related tothe P-wave while the vibration in vertical is normallyconsidered to be inuenced most by the R-wave In factthe amplitude and attenuation speed of the P-wave arelarger than that of the R-wave It can be seen that dishyerent

wave components have an important inuence on thefrequency

It can be seen from Table 8 that equation (17) generallyperforms better than most of other formulas and the fittingcorrelation coefficient is only lower than equation (22)However it is worth noting that although the fitting corre-lation coefficient obtained by equation (22) is generally the

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized

Page 16: Analysis of the Main Factors Influencing the Dominant

highest it is difficult to apply in engineer practice in result ofits too complex fitting parameters and calculation which needfour unknown parameters and multiple linear regression Incomparison equation (17) can not only obtain a favorablefitting correlation but also simple and brief in form

5 Conclusion

Based on the theoretical derivation of the attenuationequation of the dominant frequency induced by blasting andthe fitting analysis of the dominant frequency in ZhoushanGreen Petrochemical Base the following conclusions can bedrawn

(1) An equation reflecting the change of dominantfrequency induced by blasting has been derived bydimensional analysis combined with the theory ofradial spherical wave propagation Based on thefitting analysis of dominant frequencies measured inZhoushan Green Petrochemical Base favorablecorrelation coefficients have been obtained whichproves the feasibility of the proposed equation Bycomparing the different prediction formulas ofdominant frequency with equation (17) it is foundthat equation (17) performs better in general whichcan not only obtain a favorable fitting correlation butalso simple and brief in form

(2) -e fitting correlation coefficient of dominantfrequency in radial direction is generally higherthan the vertical direction which is resulted fromthe existence of surface free surface in cylindricalcharge blasting -e vibration in vertical is con-sidered to be influenced most by the R-wave re-flected by the free face on the ground which isperceived to be quite different from the radial vi-bration affected by the P-wave In other wordsdifferent types of waves will affect the dominantfrequency of blasting vibration

-is paper has proposed an attenuation formula fordominant frequency and it has found that the attenuationof dominant frequency is influenced by the component ofthe blasting wave Although the proposed equation hasobtained a favorable fitting correlation it has adoptedmany simplified assumptions such as that the rock isassumed to be linear elastic and the influence of freesurface in semi-infinite space is neglected -erefore theproposed equation still needs to be further improved andoptimized
