Waveform Characteristics of Tunnel Blast Waves and a Wave-Blocking Method by Xianshun Zhou, Xuemin Zhang, Tianhe Ren, Xuefeng Ou, Wenchao Xiong, Liming Zhang, Lei Zhang

“…The impact of blast wave air overpressure (AOp) may cause damage to nearby structures and significant noise pollution. In order to minimize the impact of the blast wave on the buildings around the tunnel, a new wave-blocking trolley (NWBT) was proposed to control the AOp during the construction of the Baitacun tunnel, as the nearby villages were located less than 100 m from the tunnel portal. …”
