| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of the discrete element program UDEC for modelling underground explosions in a jointed rock mass. A field underground explosion test has been conducted and UDEC and AUTODYN were utilised in a coupled manner to predict the rock mass response due to the underground explosion. The dynamic equation for the state of the rock material obtained from impact tests was incorporated into the calibration modelling. The comparison of modelling results with test results and empirical formulas shows that UDEC is capable of modelling explosion wave propagation in jointed rock mass with high reliability. |
