The blasting vibration signal obtained from tunnel construction monitoring is affected by the external environment, which contains a lot of noise that causes distortion during signal processing. To analyse the blasting vibration signal and determine the appropriate water seal blasting charge structure for construction, combined with wavelet threshold denoising method and HHT transformation, the blasting vibration signals of the four charge structures of conventional charge, water interval charge at both ends, water interval charge at the orifice, and water interval charge at the hole bottom are denoised and HHT is analysed. The results show that the wavelet threshold method can effectively eliminate high‐frequency noise in the blasting vibration signals and retain information carried by the vibration signal itself. The frequency and energy of the blasting vibration signals of the water interval charge at both ends are densely distributed in the range of 0 s to 0.9 s and below 100 Hz. The frequency and energy of the blasting signals of the other three charging structures are reduced within the same range, sparse areas appear, and the instantaneous total energy is smaller than that with a water interval charge at both ends, which shows that the water interval charge at both ends can effectively apply explosive energy to the surrounding rock and reduce energy loss in the explosive. The blasting vibration signal energy of the water interval charge at both ends is mainly concentrated in components IMF2 to IMF5, and the corresponding frequencies are concentrated at 6 Hz to 11 Hz and 20 Hz to 70 Hz, while the blasting vibration signal energy of other three charge structures is mainly distributed in components IMF2 to IMF4, corresponding frequencies are concentrated within 20 Hz to 70 Hz, and the distribution at low frequencies is not obvious. Therefore, when using the water interval charge at both ends, it is necessary to increase the main vibration frequency of the original vibration signals by reducing the single section charge and using frequency shift technology to avoid the natural frequency of the structure and reduce resonance‐induced damage.

Blasting excavation of rock masses under high in-situ stress often encounters difficulties in rock fragmentation and a high boulder rate. To gain a deeper understanding of this issue, the stress distribution of rock masses under dynamic and static loads was first studied through theoretical analysis. Then, the ANSYS/LS-DYNA software was employed to simulate the blasting crack propagation in rock masses under various in-situ stress conditions. The fractal dimension was introduced to quantitatively analyze the influence of in-situ stress on the distribution of blasting cracks. The results indicate that in-situ stress primarily affects crack propagation in the later stages of the explosion, while crack initiation and propagation in the early stages are mainly driven by the explosion load. In-situ stress significantly influences the damage area and fractal dimension of cut blasting. Under hydrostatic in-situ stress, as the in-situ stress increases, the damage area and fractal dimension of blasting cracks gradually decrease. Under non-hydrostatic in-situ stress, when the principal stress difference is small, in-situ stress promotes the damage area and fractal dimension of the surrounding rock, enhancing rock fragmentation. However, when the principal stress difference is large, in-situ stress inhibits the damage area and fractal dimension of the surrounding rock, hindering effective rock breaking.

Based on the blasting engineering of the subway tunnel, the overall dynamic response of the 28-story frame-shear-wall structure is studied by field test and numerical analysis. Field test is the blasting vibration monitoring and operational mode analysis (OMA). OMA used Ibrahim Time Domain method to extract the modal frequencies, the modal damping ratio of the structure, provided the basis for further analysis of the vibration response laws. The structure is simplified into a mass-spring-damper model. Based on the modal parameters extracted from the AVT, fixed the stiffness matrix and the damping matrix of the mass-spring-damper model, and set up the dynamic differential equation. So the modal parameters and frequency-response-functions of the building bending vibration can be calculated. SIMULINK dynamic simulation model was established based on the dynamic differential equation of the mass-spring-damper model. Based on the blasting vibration velocity signal, the overall vibration response law of high-rise buildings under tunnel blasting seismic is analyzed. The following conclusions are drawn: 1. Under the blasting vibration of the subway tunnel, the vibration response velocity of high-rise buildings presents: vertical vibration is the largest, lengthways vibration velocity is the second, and transverse vibration velocity is the smallest. However, the vertical vibration velocity peak and tangential vibration velocity peak at the higher floors is not much different. 2. On the higher floors, the velocity peaks fluctuated with floor increasing, and fluctuation is interrelated with the dominant mode. The peak value of vibration velocities distribution shows this correlation; 3, To simplify the high-rise building to be the mass-spring-damper model and set up the mathematical model of dynamic reaction. Then, the Simulink simulation model was established for simulation calculation. This method can adequately predict the response of the structure under blasting vibration.

The dynamic characteristics of the filling body are the key parameters for designing the filling ratio and evaluating the stability of an underground stope. The different environment (water-bearing state) of the filling body in the underground stope exerts a complex impact on the mechanical behavior of the filling body. Therefore, six groups of cemented filling body specimens with different states were formed and subjected to dynamic uniaxial impact tests. The effects of water content on the mechanical properties, fractal dimension, and deformation damage characteristics of the cemented backfill under dynamic load were analyzed in depth, and a dynamic damage constitutive model that considers water damage and the compaction stage was established. The results indicate the following: (1) Due to the change of the specimen from the dry state to the water saturation state, the dynamic compressive strength of the cemented filling body decreases from 5.03 Mpa to 1.79 Mpa; however, the ductility of the specimen generally increases, and the filling body specimens with different water contents mainly exhibit tensile failure. (2) There is a significant nonlinear relationship between the water content and the fractal dimension Db of the cemented backfill specimen, and the growth rate of the fractal dimension Db tends to slow down with the increase in the water content. (3) From the energy evolution perspective, the water content of the specimen exerts a significant effect on the elastic deformation and failure stage of the stress–strain curve, and the slope of the dissipated energy-strain curve decreases with the increase in water content. (4) Based on the Weibull distribution and damage theory, a statistical damage constitutive model of cemented backfill was established, and it was compared with the experimental curve to verify the rationality of the model. Therefore, the relationship between stress and damage and the strain curves is discussed, and it is inferred that the damage evolution curve of cemented backfill is a typical S-shaped curve that exhibits a stable development-rapid increase-tending to be gentle. This study can provide a theoretical reference for further understanding the dynamic behavior and stability of backfill under different water conditions.
