Attenuation law of vibration induced by transient unloading during excavation of deep caverns
During drilling and blasting excavations of deep caverns
the transient unloading of in-situ stress on the excavation boundary can induce vibrations in surrounding rock mass. For circular tunnel excavation
the balance mechanism of strain energy
kinetic energy and work done by radical stress during the process of the transient unloading of in-situ stress is analyzed
then a new attenuation formula is established to analyze the attenuation law of vibrations induced by the transient unloading of in-situ stress based on the strain energy of excavated rock mass with the tool of unit analysis. Case studies of Jinping II and Pubugou hydropower stations are presented to show how to identify and separate the vibrations induced by the transient unloading of in-situ stress from the monitored vibration signals. Studies indicate that the amplitudes of vibrations induced by the transient unloading of in-situ stress are proportional to the square root of strain energy density of excavated rock mass
and the bigger volume of excavated rock mass is
the intenser vibrations are induced by the transient unloading of in-situ stress. Compared with the existing attenuation formula proposed by Lu and Hustrulid
the new attenuation formula has a wider range of application and higher precision.
