The negative consequences of the use of drilling and blasting technology in the tunneling of transportation tunnels are considered. The forms of mechanical energy of explosion are analyzed, which cause the occurrence of phenomena leading to environmental degradation, destruction of engineering structures and negative impact on humans. The classification of the negative impact of drilling and blasting operations on the environment is proposed.
The subject of the research was the state of safety of buildings of engineering structures and the environment, located in the zone of influence of mining operations, under the influence of seismic and shock air waves from the production of blasting operations. In the research work full-scale measurements of arguments of seismic and shock air waves in the requirements of production of mass explosions and lump crushing at different blasting schemes both on mining and geological and meteorological requirements were carried out. Optimal requirements to the organization and production of blasting operations are proposed.
