Intelligent Control of Smooth Blasting Quality in Rock Tunnels Using BP-ANN, ENN, and ANFIS by Baoping Zou, Jianxiu Wang, Zhanyou Luo, Lisheng Hu

“…The following are the conclusions of this study: (1) This paper presented a method of constructing a tunnel smooth blasting quality control index system and established this system with seven criteria layers, namely, geological conditions, explosive properties, borehole parameters, charge parameters, method of initiation, tunnel parameters, and construction factors, as well as a total of nine indexes. (2) The comprehensive optimization control model of BP-ANN, ANFIS, and ENN for tunnel smooth blasting quality was established. (3) The uniform design method was used to optimize the blasting parameters of the tunnel section, which needs to be controlled, and verify that the construction of these comprehensive optimization control models can change the focus of tunnel smooth blasting quality control from the traditional single index control method into a dynamic, intelligent, pluralistic, and integrated control technology.…”
