Study on the influence of blasting on the structural stability of newly-built and adjacent tunnels by Zi-qiang Li, Jia-shuai Zhang, Gui-quan Ma, Ze-lin Zhou, Sheng-peng Pu, Ceng Zeng

“…Using numerical models constructed with LS-DYNA and ANSYS, this study systematically analyzed the dynamic response characteristics of the blasting process of the newly-built tunnel and its effect on the structural stability of adjacent tunnels. Finite element simulation results using intelligent detection data matched the measured excavation contour with over 85% accuracy, revealing the correlation between the blasthole position offset and overbreak position and amount. …”
