Monitoring the building blast vibration signal is an efficient way to determine the power of blast vibration hazards. Due to the harsh measurement environment, noise is inevitably introduced into the recorded signals. This research presents a denoising approach based on Improved complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise(ICEEMDAN) and Composite Multiscale Permutation Entropy (CMPE). First, the noisy blast vibration signal is decomposed into different intrinsic mode functions using ICEEMDAN; then multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) are separated into pure and noisy using CMPE, the noisy IMFs are denoised using wavelet thresholding; finally the blast wave is reconstructed using the pure and denoised mixed IMFs. The proposed approach was compared with four other approaches (CEEMDAN-CMPE, VMD-CMPE, SVMD-CMPE, and WST). The results indicate that the proposed approach has better performance and can be considered as an effective denoising method for building blast vibration signals.

During blasting in deep mining and excavation, the rock masses usually suffer from high in situ stress. The initial seismic energy generated in deep rock blasting and its attenuation with distance is first theoretically analyzed in this study. Numerical modeling of the multiple-hole blasting in a circular tunnel excavation under varied in situ stress conditions is then conducted to investigate the influences of in situ stress levels and anisotropy on the blasting seismic energy generation and attenuation. The case study of the deep rock blasting in the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) is finally presented to demonstrate the seismic energy attenuation laws under varied in situ stress levels. The results show that with the increase in the in situ stress level, the explosive energy consumed in the rock fracture is reduced, and more explosive energy is converted into seismic energy. The increasing in situ stress causes the seismic Q of the rock mass medium to first increase and then decrease, and consequently, the seismic energy attenuation rate first decreases and then increases. Compared to the condition without in situ stress, the blasting seismic energy decays more slowly with distance under in situ stress. Then the seismic waves generated in deep rock blasting are more likely to reach and exceed the peak particle velocity (PPV) limits stipulated in the blasting vibration standards. Under non-hydrostatic in situ stress, the generation and attenuation of the blasting seismic energy are anisotropic. The highest seismic energy density is generated in the rock mass in the minimum principal stress orientation. Its attenuation is dependent upon the in situ stress aligning the wave propagation orientation.

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.
