In order to eliminate the potential hazards of waste explosives and ensure the public safety of the capital,the Beijing public security organs have conducted a centralized destruction of 198 waste shells.The key destruction procedures,including the screening and destruction method of waste explosives,the selection of destruction site,the design of destruction blasting parameters and explosion pit,the stevedoring and transportation of waste shells,are analyzed and assessed.The propagation law of the destruction blasting vibrations is obtained through on-site monitoring and time-frequency analysis by HHT(Hilbert-Huang transform) method.The results show that the equivalent TNT weight of the waste shells is 47.72 kg.An abandoned mine pit has topographical advantages to be selected as the explosion destruction site for waste shells.And the explosion pits are located close to the rock slope in a reasonable layout.By using a delay time of 5 ms,the safe and successful completion of destruction blasting and the limit control of harmful effects are ensured.The seismic waves generated by the destruction blasting have the characteristics of low propagation speed,slow attenuation,and low frequencies.Compared with the underground blasting vibrations,K and α is smaller obviously under the condition of shallow buried blasting.The dominant frequency of the destruction blasting vibrations is mainly distributed in the low frequency band of 4~20 Hz,and the main vibration frequency decreases slightly with the increase of distance.The air shock wave can easily cause sudden changes of the amplitudes and frequencies of the measured vibration waveforms near the explosion area.The design,construction,and vibration monitoring and analysis of the destruction blasting can provide a reference for similar projects.
