Abstract

Blasting-induced seismic wave imposes cyclic loadings on adjacent buildings and structures with a combined loading mode of tension, compression, bending, shear and torsion, and it leads to flaking of floated coat, wall cracking, developing of original cracks, etc. This paper presents a blasting case study for the excavation of Wucun tunnel in Xiamen Success Avenue. Field monitoring and numerical calculation of a typical brick masonry structure are adopted to analyze the relationships among the maximum structural displacement, peak vibration velocity of blasting-induced foundation vibration and the change rate of crack width. On the basis of the study above, a method of calculating the safe vibrating velocity for single-layer masonry structure is proposed. Meanwhile, a suggested value of the safe vibrating velocity for single-layer masonry structure is given. All the research results can be useful for the similar construction and research. © (2013) Trans Tech Pudlications, Switzerland.
