Numerical Simulation of Parallel Cutting with Different Number of Empty Holes

The cutting blasting plays a key role in rock excavation construction, which determines the blasting effect and efficiency of the entire blasting project. In the cutting blasting, parallel holes are often used as the auxiliary free surface and the compensation space of blasting rock, and the empty holes have a great influence on the blasting effect. In this paper, Ansys/Ls-Dyna finite element analysis software is carried out to simulate four models with different number of empty holes. The simulation results show that the stronger the guiding effect of the empty holes on the crack propagation, the more obvious the inhibition effect on the crack in the remaining direction. The initial crack near the empty hole is generated by the continuous action of the stress wave, and the empty hole promotes the propagation of the explosion stress wave. The inconsistent guiding directions of adjacent empty holes are one of the reasons for the unsatisfactory blasting effect of multiple small diameter empty holes. The closer the empty hole is to the blasthole, the larger the maximum principal stress. By comparing the results of calculation with the numerical simulation, it is verified that the maximum principal stress near the empty hole is similar and the change rule is consistent. The above research has reference meaning to the location of the hollow hole in the actual blasting construction and the density of the empty hole

Under the different sectors: the relationship between low-carbon economic development, health and GDP

Developing a modern low-carbon economy while protecting health is not only a current trend but also an urgent problem that needs to be solved. The growth of the national low-carbon economy is closely related to various sectors; however, it remains unclear how the development of low-carbon economies in these sectors impacts the national economy and the health of residents. Using panel data on carbon emissions and resident health in 28 province-level regions in China, this study employs unit root tests, co-integration tests, and regression analysis to empirically examine the relationship between carbon emissions, low-carbon economic development, health, and GDP in industry, construction, and transportation. The results show that: First, China’s carbon emissions can promote economic development. Second, low-carbon economic development can enhance resident health while improving GDP. Third, low-carbon economic development has a significant positive effect on GDP and resident health in the industrial and transportation sector, but not in the construction sector, and the level of industrial development and carbon emission sources are significant factors contributing to the inconsistency. Our findings complement existing insights into the coupling effect of carbon emissions and economic development across sectors. They can assist policymakers in tailoring low-carbon policies to specific sectors, formulating strategies to optimize energy consumption structures, improving green technology levels, and aiding enterprises in gradually reducing carbon emissions without sacrificing economic benefits, thus achieving low-carbon economic development
