Blasting-Induced Vibration Response of the Transition Section in a Branching-Out Tunnel and Vibration Control Measures by Feng Cao, Sheng Zhang, Tonghua Ling

“…To examine the effects of excavation and blasting of the transition section in the posterior tunnel on the supporting structures of the anterior tunnel, the influences of the blasting-induced vibration in the posterior tunnel on the anterior tunnel were analyzed under different surrounding rock levels, excavation techniques, distances from explosive source, and net spans. This method was performed by combining numerical simulation with blasting-induced vibration monitoring according to the construction characteristics of the transition section in a branching-out tunnel of a highway. …”
