Abstract
A physical model test is carried out to simulate the blasting disturbance on the underground tunnel. The test including four blasting events with different blasting locations, where two blasting angles (\(\left| \alpha \right|\)) and two blasting distances (D) are designed. The surface deformation characteristics of the physical model are observed by a DIC system. The deformation responses of four strain components during blasting are obtained. The influences of the blasting location on the surface deformation and failure characteristics are analyzed. The distributions of strain components εx, εy, εxy, and ε1 are obtained for different blasting locations. The different occurrences of failure are compared for cases where the blasthole is at varying locations from the tunnel. The results show that when the blasthole is far from the tunnel, the failure mainly occurs in the vicinity of the blasthole and the failure pattern of the physical model is conical. When the blasthole is close enough to the tunnel and is near the vertical wall, the surrounding rock fail in a V-shape. According to the failure patterns, the anti-disturbance ability of the arch is obviously stronger than that of the vertical wall.
