The hydraulic fracturing of rock mass cracking is one of the important influencing factors that causes rock mass cracking and leakage and even construction water gushing
which is also the research hotspot in geotechnical engineering field. The disturbance effect on crack propagation of aquiferous rock cracking by blasting excavation is analyzed based on fracture mechanics; and the results show that
under disturbance of blasting excavation
the cracking propagation of aquiferous rock relates to the strength and incident angle of blasting stress wave
the value and direction of ground stress
the value of pore water pressure
the crack dip
and the fracture toughness
etc. The effect of blasting stress wave equals to increasing the pore water pressure inside rock mass cracks
which means per 1 cm/s peak particle vibration velocity equals to increasing 0.1 MPa pore water pressure; and the larger the blasting vibration velocity is
the greater the blasting disturbance load will be. The change of ground stress and pore water pressure caused by rock mass excavation around rock mass cracks have complex influence on instability and propagation of cracks
which may change the instability and propagation model of cracks.
