“…These projects are constructed by drilling and blasting methods, and blasting vibration waves will inevitably be generated during the drilling and blasting construction process, and the unstable loading and unloading effect of blast vibration waves will also greatly weaken the stability and reliability of underground gas storages (Fan et al, 2021). Many scholars have conducted detailed studies on the effects of blast vibration on adjacent existing structures, and analyzed the disturbance response characteristics of structures under the excitation of external dynamic loads (Verma et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2017;Wu et al, 2019;Dai et al, 2020) and internal blast loads (Lu et al, 2011;Song et al, 2019;Huang et al, 2020). Meanwhile, the basic theories of the finite element approach, discrete element method and blast impact dynamics mechanisms have also been used to systematically investigated the factors (Qiu et al, 2020) affecting blast vibration velocity and vibration principal frequency distribution, such as blast source location, blast source distance, burial depth, surrounding rocks characteristics and in-situ stress level (Chen et al, 2016;Li et al, 2018a;Xia et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2020).…”
