Features: This book is divided into twelve chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the basic characteristics of blasting engineering; Chapter 2 introduces the main drilling methods and equipment; Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive introduction to industrial explosives, initiating materials, and initiation methods; Chapter 4 covers the fundamental theory of explosive detonation, including initiation mechanisms and detonation theory; Chapter 5 elaborates on the basic theory of explosive detonation in rock and soil, which is an ongoing field of research and development and serves as the theoretical foundation for blasting engineering design; Chapter 6 briefly introduces the physical phenomena and characteristics of underwater explosions; Chapter 7 provides a detailed description of cut-and-fill blasting, smooth blasting, and delay blasting in underground blasting engineering, along with their corresponding construction techniques; Chapter 8 discusses engineering geological issues, bench blasting, chamber blasting, and slope control blasting in open-air blasting engineering; Chapter 9 offers an in-depth discussion on the demolition blasting of foundations, chimneys, water towers, reinforced concrete frame structures, and buildings; Chapter 10 introduces the hazards that should be prevented in blasting engineering and the safety technical measures to be taken, as well as the commonly used instruments in blasting engineering; Chapter 11 covers relevant blasting testing technologies, including dynamic photoelasticity, dynamic moiré, and conical refraction methods, which are newly adopted testing techniques in recent years; Chapter 12 introduces special blasting technologies. This book is a planned teaching material for higher education institutions and is suitable for students and faculty of civil engineering in coal, metallurgy, railway, military industry, and urban construction systems. It can also serve as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in research, design, and construction.
