A key aspect of urban blasting engineering is evaluating the safety of the blasting dynamic load on the adjacent high-density polyethylene water supply pipeline and controlling the negative impact of the blasting vibration load on the pipeline. According to the special characteristics of the soil layer in Shenzhen coastal city, a field blasting test of a full-scale pre-buried HDPE pipeline was carried out, and the distribution characteristics of the blasting vibration velocity and dynamic strain were analyzed. The finite element model was established by LSDYNA, and the reliability of the calculation model and parameters was verified by comparing with the field test data. At the same time, the dynamic response characteristics of pipelines with different buried depths, operating water conveyance pressures, and diameters under blasting vibration loads were studied. Combined with the circumferential allowable stress control criterion of the pipeline, the safety control standard of the blasting vibration velocity of the HDPE water supply pipeline under different working conditions was proposed. The results show that the circumferential compressive strain of the HDPE pipe is the most affected by blasting vibration, and the pipe with the shortest blasting center distance has the largest response. The vibration velocity and equivalent stress of the pipeline increase with the increase of buried depth, internal pressure, and diameter. The vibration velocity and equivalent stress of the explosion side at the same section of the pipeline are greater than those of the back explosion side. Based on the dimensionless analysis, the vibration velocity prediction model of the buried depth, operating pressure, and diameter of the pipeline is proposed. The safety control velocity of the pipeline is 25 cm/s, and the vibration velocity of the upper surface is 22.5 cm/s according to the Mises yield strength criterion.
The construction of metro line energy management center (MLEMC) is one of the important parts of metro line, which is the key organization to realize the energy consumption management of the metro operation. To protect the safety of adjacent high-rise buildings during the blasting of subway foundation pit engineering, it is crucial to study the response characteristics of building structures. This paper takes the MLEMC vertical pit blasting project of Wuhan Metro Line 8 as an example. The law of blasting vibration attenuation along the earth’s surface and the vibration velocity response characteristics of the building structure were analyzed by small explosive test. LSDYNA numerical model was established, and the reliability of the model and parameters was verified by experimental data. Combined with the relevant specifications, the maximum charge in single delay was calculated and analyzed. The numerical model of the maximum charge in single was established, and the prediction model of the vibration velocity related to the floors of high-rise buildings was further proposed. Combined with the failure principle of reinforced concrete structure, the safety of high-rise buildings under blasting vibration was analyzed and evaluated.
Freeze–thaw effect is one of the most important environmental conditions that rocks may be subjected to. Through laboratory model tests, the damage characteristics of rocks under the FTC were studied. Based on assuming that the strength of rocks subject to the FTC follows the Weibull distribution, the cumulative damage variable of the number of FTCs was introduced. A cumulative damage constitutive model of shear strength attenuation of rock that meets the Mohr–Coulomb criterion is established. The rationality and applicability of the proposed damage constitutive model are verified by comparing the results of rock shear strength parameters under cyclic freeze–thaw loads.
