During blasting construction in tunnel engineering, an inclined fissure near the blast hole produces the “Z” type of over-excavation and subsequently affects the overall blasting effect and stability of the tunnel. In this work, dynamic caustics testing was used to study the burst propagation mode and penetration form of explosive cracks at different positions between holes under double-hole blasting conditions. Results showed that the existence of gently inclined cracks changed the propagation law of explosive stress wave. The dominant fracture surface was formed in the vertical direction between the borehole and the fracture. Finally, the crack penetrates to form “Z”-type over-excavation, which was analyzed by the dynamic caustics test. The expansion velocity of the burst crack reached the maximum under the reflection of the explosion stress wave and then decreased with the attenuation of the stress wave intensity. The peak propagation velocity decreased with the increasing vertical distance between the prefabricated fracture and the borehole, and the stress intensity factor at the crack tip immediately reached its peak value after detonation, and the oscillation then decreased. These research results can serve a basis for reducing tunnel blasting over-excavation under this condition and optimizing blasting parameters.

In order to study the effect which weak intercalated layer produces in the rock during the process when explosives transferring the energy, this research uses ANSYS/LS-DYNA toexplore the numerical simulation of the law which the stress wave of weak intercalated layer rock with different thickness propagates and decays. It also compares the effect to stress wave in certain position when the thickness of the intercalated layer is different or inexistent. The outbreak pheno-menon of the rock with weak intercalated layer occurs in the blasting process is analyzed as well, so the effect of weak intercalated layer should be fully considered when arranging blast hole around the tunnel. Then the research provides the theoretical basis for selecting blasting parameters.

In order to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings in the process of tunnel blasting excavation, taking Yangjia tunnel blasting through a five-story frame structure residential building as an example, the propagation law of blasting seismic wave was analyzed by using HHT method through on-site blasting monitoring. Then, the ALE algorithm in ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was used to establish a three-dimensional numerical model based on the surrounding rock-cutting section-structure coupling to study the dynamic response of adjacent buildings under the blasting vibration of tunnel. The results show that the HHT analysis method can clearly describe the energy distribution of vibration signals in the time and frequency domain. The energy carried by the blasting vibration signal is corresponding to the detonating section, and the maximum energy appears in the cutting section, which further verifying that the vibration effect caused by the cutting hole blasting is the strongest. In the process of tunnel blasting, the dynamic responses of beams, columns and exterior walls of adjacent buildings are not consistent and show different variation rules along the height direction. In addition, the stress centralization mainly occurs in the exterior wall of the building, the joint of the exterior wall and the column, the joint of the exterior wall and the beam, and the joint of the exterior wall and the floor and other non-weight bearing area, indicating that these parts are more likely to damage and crack in the process of tunnel blasting.

Steel strands are widely used in cable stay or suspension bridges. The safety and stability of steel strands are important issues during their operation period. Steel strand is subjected to various types of prestress loss which loosens the wedge anchorage system, negatively impacting the stability of the structure and even leading to severe accidents. In this paper, the authors propose a time reversal (TR) method to monitor the looseness status of the wedge anchorage system by using stress wave based active sensing. As a commonly used piezoceramic material, Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) with a strong piezoelectric effect is employed. In the proposed active sensing approach, PZT patches are used as sensors and actuators to monitor the steel strand looseness status. One PZT patch is bonded to the steel strand, one PZT patch is bonded to the wedges, and another PZT patch is bonded to the barrel. There are three different interfaces of the wedge anchorage system to monitor the steel strand looseness status. In the first method, the PZT patch on the steel strand is used as an actuator to generate a stress wave and the PZT patch on the wedge is used as a sensor to detect the propagated waves through the wedge anchorage system. In the second method, the PZT patch on the steel strand is used as an actuator to generate a stress wave and the PZT patch on the barrel is used as a sensor to detect the propagated waves through the wedge anchorage system. In the third method, the PZT patch on the wedges is used as an actuator to generate a stress wave and the PZT patches on the barrel is used as a sensor to detect the propagated waves through the wedge anchorage system, of which the looseness will directly impact the stress wave propagation. The TR method is utilized to analyze the transmitted signal between PZT patches through the wedge anchorage system. Compared with the peak values of the TR focused signals, it can be found that the peak value increases as the wedge anchorage system tightness increases. Therefore, the peak value of the TR focused signal can be used to monitor the tightness of the steel strand. In addition, the experimental results demonstrated the time reversal method’s reliability, sensitivity and anti-noise property.

In order to study the dynamic crack propagation law in fissured rock under the different fillings, a borehole with 7 mm diameter was processed in the center of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) specimen. The preexisting fissure with different angles (θ = 0°, 45°, and 90°) and different distances (L = 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 mm) was prefabricated around the borehole. Air, soil, and water were employed as fillings in the fissure, respectively. The experiment of explosive loading was carried out by a single detonator, and the dynamic crack propagation process of the experimental specimens was simulated by nonlinear dynamics software AUTODYN. The results show that the blast-induced cracks are the most favorable and unfavorable to propagate when θ = 0° and θ = 45°, respectively. The length of the far-end wing crack decreases with the increase of the distance L, and the length of the far-end wing crack in the air-filled specimens is larger than those in soil-filled and water-filled specimens. The damage-pressure curve of the far-end wing crack initiation point shows “S”-type change, and the damage-pressure curve shows two obvious damage evolution processes of initial nonlinear and later linear stages. With the increase of the angle, the distance from the borehole to the crack initiation point decreases and the compressive stress wave peak value should increase, but the tensile force peak value decreases. Meanwhile, the relationships between pressure and average velocity of the initiation point and L, θ, and fillings are established, respectively. The numerical simulation agrees with the experimental results well. It can be seen that the fillings types, angle, and distance have a mutual restraint relationship with the reflected and absorbed stress wave energy. The phenomenon of crack propagation under different fillings can be explained well from the viewpoint of discontinuity degree and stress wave energy, which reveals the general law of blast-induced crack propagation.

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation

The stress disturbance effect will significantly affect the propagation path of hydraulic fractures in the composite rock reservoir. To reveal the influence mechanism of stress disturbance effect on the hydraulic fracture propagation, several groups of laboratory tests and simulation tests were carried out. The test results showed that the hydraulic fracture tip formed a disturbing stress field because of the pore water pressure. Before the hydraulic fracture was extended to the bedding plane, the bedding plane had been damaged under stress disturbance, and the disturbed fracture zone was formed. The propagation mode of hydraulic fracture at the bedding plane was highly sensitive to the formation of the disturbed fracture zone. The sensitivity is mainly reflected from two aspects. (1) Under the action of the hydraulic fracture tip disturbance stress, many microfractures are generated and penetrated into the disturbance fracture zone on the bedding plane. This behavior is accompanied by energy dissipation causing the bedding plane material to be significantly softened, and the energy required for hydraulic fracture propagation is reduced dramatically. (2) The formation of the disturbed fracture zone improves the degree of fragmentation of the bedding plane, and the permeability of the local area increases significantly, forming the dominant circulation path. The higher the development of the disturbed fracture zone, the greater the hydraulic fracture propagation tendency along the bedding plane. According to the formation characteristics of the bedding plane disturbed fracture zone, the author proposed a nonlinear fracture model of the bedding plane disturbed fracture zone and established the hydraulic fracture propagation path criterion. This paper further analyzed the influencing factors of the disturbed fracture zone’s formation conditions and found that the bedding plane’s cementation strength was the main factor affecting the development degree of the disturbed fracture zone.

The measurement of rock joint parameters is a hotly debated and difficult problem in rock mechanics. Joints have great influence on the propagation of stress waves in rock mass. Since the multiple reflections of stress waves propagating inside the joints is not considered accurately, the reflection wave shape cannot be obtained by using a discontinuous displacement model to describe the deformation characteristics of joints. A joint is regarded as a rock using the first analysis of the stress wave transmission in the course of a single joint and the propagation law of a reflection wave. For rocks orientated in the same direction with the same type of wave superposition, stress wave parameters can be established through the multiple reflection effect of a single-joint analysis model. Further to this, analysis using an extended single-joint model can estimate a stress wave under the condition of a vertical incidence group parallel strata analysis model. Taking a single macro-joint as an example, a measuring line is arranged in the normal direction of the joint, and two measuring points on both sides of the joint are arranged in a line to record the waveforms of the incident and transmitted waves. According to the established single-joint analysis model, the calculated waveform of the incident side measuring point is calculated by using the measured waveform of the transmission side measuring point, and the measured waveform of the incident side measuring point is compared with the measured waveform of the incident side measuring point, and the joint elastic parameters with the minimum error are obtained by using the principle of least square method. Six tests were carried out through joints with a thickness of 0.04 m. The results show that the primary wave (P-wave) and secondary vertical wave (SV wave) velocity of joints obtained from many tests have good consistency, which indicates that the joint analysis model has good stability, and the test solution of joint elastic parameters based on the model is reliable.
