Abstract

The plane and axially symmetric 2D numerical modeling of rock mass blasting is carried out using the Lagrangian tensor-based method. The results are compared with the actual direct measurements of rock mass permeability in the near zone of underground nuclear explosion Dnepr-1 in Khibiny in 1972. The post-explosion permeability of hard rocks is assessable at an admissible accuracy using the calculated shear strain intensity. A case-study of rock mass permeability change assessment in the near zone of blasting of a complex configuration charge is discussed.
