Abstract: This paper expounds the basic theory of rock mass blasting technology, the rock blasting excavation of Qianping reservoir project was taken as an example, by means of numerical simulation and experimental research, the finite element model for rock blasting excavation in Qianping reservoir is established. The rock blast on the upper section of the diversion tunnel for Qianping reservoir is simulated by using the dynamic analysis module LS-DYNA in the finite element method analysis software ANSYS, through the comparative analysis of blast testing and numerical simulation results. The results show that, the dynamic analysis results are in good agreement with the field test, the correctness and validity of the finite element model are proved, finite element dynamic analysis model is a general calculation model, rock mechanics parameters in the model can be adjusted in the calculation process, it can be used to simulate the blasting excavation process of different rock properties.

Keywords: diversion tunnel; blast testing; numerical simulation; LS-DYNA; parameters of hole arrangement; data of explosive filled.
