Rock breaking regularity of layered rock mass blasting under the influence of different resistance lines by Jianxin YU, Pengzhan MENG, Xin ZHANG, Zhenzhen LI

“…Resistance line is a key parameter affecting the effect of blasting, this study takes the minimum resistance line as a control index to study the blasting and rock breaking law of layered rock body under the influence of initial stress and joint angle. Taking the Class III surrounding rock as the geological background, the concrete specimens with different nodal parameters were prepared as the simulation material of layered rock body by layered casting method, and a series of blasting experiments under different blasting conditions were carried out, and the test process was monitored by the combination of high-speed camera, dynamic signal analysis system, and intelligent five-segment bursting tachymeter and other equipment; and the damage of layered rock body under the coupling of static geostatic load and dynamic blast load and the law of stress wave propagation were analysed by using the three-dimensional numerical simulation model of LS-DYNA. …”
