description In evaluating the construction safety of the building in the subway tunnel using the cover-and-cut method, the main objective is to analyze the diaphragm wall, the central pillar, and the roof. This article conducted a blasting vibration test based on the background of the Guiyang Metro Line 3 project and used the FLAC3D software to establish a three-dimensional numerical model. The results showed that the peak particle velocity (PPV) decreased with increasing distance from the blasting center. The PPV measured at the underground diaphragm wall was 1.424 cm/s, while at the bottom of the central pillar it was 1.482 cm/s. The predicted PPV on the roof was up to 1.537 cm/s, which met the safety standards. According to the cloud map of particle vibration velocity and the comprehensive analysis of particle vibration velocity, the degree of impact of artificial structures in the subway tunnel was the central pillar, the underground diaphragm wall, and the roof in order from high to low. After eight blasting operations per day, the vibration velocity trend at the vulnerable point of the central column increases, but it will not exceed the safety standard.
