摘要

Underground structures are prone to cracks from aging, construction flaws, and geological factors. Increasing urban development near existing buildings, along with extensive drilling and blasting, raises concerns regarding blast-induced damage. This study utilized high-voltage pulse discharge (HVPD) technology as a simulated blast source to systematically investigate the dynamic response of cracked structures under blast loading. Controlled experiments were conducted on cracked structures to examine distance effects (30/45/60 cm) of structural cracks under cyclic blasting tests (five repeated blasts). A multi-parameter approach integrated vibration velocity, dynamic strain, and passive piezoelectric signals to characterize instantaneous structural responses, while visual inspection and active piezoelectric signals assessed damage evolution. Three key findings emerged: (1) Blast-exposed side cracks dramatically amplified vibration responses, with 56.8% higher x direction velocity, 113% greater dynamic strain, and 110% stronger passive piezoelectric signals when crack at 30 cm versus uncracked conditions. Peak arrival time demonstrated nonlinear acceleration, while decay rates increased exponentially with decreasing blast-to-crack distance. (2) Prefabricated cracks 30 cm from the source guided oblique crack propagation without affecting the inherent failure modes of blastholes. Piezoelectric active monitoring revealed distance-dependent microstructural deterioration, with cracked structures exhibiting: signal attenuation (15-fold) and frequency upshift (0–250 to 250–500 kHz) compared to uncracked conditions. This frequency-domain response, coupled with progressive signal attenuation, demonstrated a significant correlation between blast proximity and structural degradation. (3) Piezoelectric monitoring demonstrated dual efficacy for real-time response tracking and damage assessment, offering practical insights for protecting adjacent structures during blasting.
