    Abstract

    The DBDP Hydropower Station, the largest hydropower station under construction in Pakistan, faces challenges related to blasting vibration affecting freshly poured concrete of the proposed intake tower of the diversion tunnel. Finite element calculation parameters were adjusted based on on-site blasting vibration monitoring data to address this issue. A numerical simulation method was utilized to analyze the blasting vibration response of the water intake tower under various blasting conditions and to identify factors influencing peak particle velocity (PPV). The study proposes measures to control blasting vibration. The results indicated that the maximum charge per delay, the delay time between blast holes, the advancing direction, and the detonation position significantly impact the intake tower's vibration. It is recommended that the maximum charge per delay and the delay time between blast holes be controlled to mitigate vibration on the fresh concrete. Additionally, adopting a backward blasting advancing direction and hole-bottom initiation is advisable.
