Abstract:

To response to high difficulty and cost in the blasting operation for cutting vertical slots in sublevel stope, a mine in Shandong as the engineering background is used to conduct research on the blasting mechanism of the “pin”?shaped slotting without raise in sublevel stope. The LS-DYNA numerical simulation method is employed to analyze the differences between the “pin”?shaped without raise cutting blasting and the VCR method cutting blasting. The study reveals the multi?free?surface effect of the “pin”?shaped blasting for slot cutting. The numerical results show that under the combined action of lateral and bottom free surfaces, the blasting stress distribution of the cylindrical blastholes in the “pin”?shaped without raise cutting blasting method is more uniform along their length, enhancing the rock?breaking capability at the free surfaces, reducing damage to the unexploded area, and improving the utilization of blasting energy. Through comprehensive comparison, the overbreak rate of the “pin”?shaped without raise cutting blasting method is reduced by 23.2%, the effective rock?breaking stress is increased by 12 MPa, and the vibration values of the surrounding rock in the unexploded area are reduced by 16.7%, significantly improving the blasting effect of slot cutting in sublevel stope.
