The Change of the Spatial Parameters of the Destruction of the Rock mass by Borehole Charge with Low-Density Tamping

Abstract

Abstract. Explosive destruction of the rock formation is substantiated by several theories developed by well-known scientists. The improvement of quality of preparation of rock mass to excavation, by an excavator without an increase in the value of specific consumption of explosives is important in the present time. Traditionally, to increase the impact time of detonation products on the rock hard tamping was used. The problem is in the rational redistribution of the explosion energy due to the use of a borehole charge, and in particular, in the tamping of low-density, porous materials. The more intensive attenuation of the mass velocity of particles in the material of such tamping in comparison with the mass velocity of the rock mass particles contributes to the well channel compression and increases the impact time of detonation products on the rock mass. As a result of redistribution of energy of detonation products, the specific impulse of explosion increases. The value of the radius of the controlled crushing zone increases by more than 1.6 times. The results of industrial explosions in coal mines have confirmed the theoretical reasoning.
