This study analyzes the blast resistance in triple-period minimal surface (TPMS) sandwich panel structures with a cellular structure. The explosion test of the TPMS sandwich panel was carried out, and experimental data verified the effectiveness of the finite element model. Four TPMS configurations, Diamond, Gyroid, IWP, and Primitive, were selected as the core of the sandwich panel to determine the dynamic response process of the TPMS sandwich panel under the action of a blast load. The effects of the thickness of the core material and the explosive charge on the blast resistance in the TPMS sandwich panel were investigated. The results show that the increase in core thickness reduces the blast energy absorption efficiency of the sandwich panel, and the energy resistance in the Diamond configuration sandwich panel is stronger than the other three configurations under the same blast load; the increase in explosive charge significantly increases the displacement of the sandwich panel, and the Gyroid configuration shows better energy absorption effect; different TPMS configurations and panel thickness have a significant effect on the deformation and energy absorption of the sandwich panel under the blast load. The results of this study can promote the application of TPMS sandwich structures in blast-resistant structures.
The reconstruction and expansion project of oil reserve base often faces the excavation and blasting of the slope and undercrossing tunnel at the same time. Due to the flammable and explosive liquid storage nearby, the tight construction period, and the high requirements of collaborative construction, once the blasting accident occurs, the consequences are unimaginable. To facilitate safe and timely cooperative blasting construction of the slope and undercrossing tunnel, a vibration monitoring test of the slope and tunnel surrounding rock is conducted. The vibration response characteristics of the rock surrounding the slope and tunnel are analyzed, and a mathematical prediction model for the peak particle velocity (PPV) with consideration of the influence of the relative slope gradient (H/D) is established based on dimension analysis theory, which improves the prediction accuracy of PPV at the slope surface. ANSYS/LS‐DYNA is used to establish a 3D finite element model for the slope and tunnel, and the dynamic response of the tunnel surrounding rock under blasting load is verified through field monitoring data. A linear statistical relationship between PPV and effective tensile stress (ETS) of the tunnel surrounding rock is established. The PPV safety criterion of the tunnel surrounding rock under blasting load is proposed to be 10 cm/s according to the first strength theory, and hence, the minimum safety distance from the tunnel working face to the slope surface is calculated to be 36 m. Finally, the excavation timing arrangement of the slope and tunnel is proposed, which has been successfully applied to the expansion project, and the construction period has been effectively shortened by 45 days while ensuring construction safety. The research results have great guiding significance to similar cooperative blasting excavation engineering for high slope and adjacent tunnel with safety and efficiency.
In the process of the evolution of rocky slope instability, the decay deterioration rate of cohesion c and internal friction angle φ are different, and there are also differences in the order and degree of their impact on slope stability; thus, it is of great theoretical value to propose a more practical calculation method for the reduction in slope degradation. This paper combines the Hoek–Brown criterion and an acoustic test method to estimate the mechanical parameters of slope rock mass; the correlative relationship within the double-strength parameter reduction was established by introducing advanced reduction steps (ARS), n, and correlation factor, λ, and a non-synchronous coordinated reduction (NSCR) method for the double parameters of slopes was proposed. Furthermore, methods for determining the comprehensive safety factor (CSF) of slopes during the coordinated reduction of double parameters are comparatively analyzed. The results of the application of engineering examples show that the strength of the slope rock mass is significantly reduced after several blast disturbances, and the equivalent cohesion is reduced from 1.05 MPa to 0.89 MPa, while the internal friction angle is reduced from 25.68° to 21.77°. The CSF calculated using the W. Yuan-2 method is closer to the results of the limit equilibrium method and is suitable for the calculation of the CSF of the NSCR of slopes. The slope CSFs show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the increase in n; FS = 3.349 when n = 50, with a relative error of only 8.1% compared to the results calculated using the limit equilibrium method. The NSCR method remediates the blindness of the traditional strength reduction method in double-parameter reduction and ensures that the reduction range of the internal friction angle is no lower than its residual strength limit value, making it practical and feasible for slope stability analysis.
