Abstract
Control of damaged zone caused by impact load is the challenging issue in blasting engineering. In this paper, a new rock breaking method using carbon dioxide ice powder is developed, which is characterized by weak disturbance. Then experiments on the \(\text {CO}_{2}\) pneumatic fracturing of concrete specimens were conducted. Generally, the \(\text {CO}_{2}\)-driven fracturing process generates medium strain rate (\(\varepsilon ^\cdot = 10^{0}\) to \(10^{1}\) 1/s), the large concrete specimen was fractured into 3–5 blocks, and no crushing damage occurred. The transient failure modes in the shock wave event were discussed, and the fragment size-strain rate relationship was established based on the cusp mutation theory. The theoretical calculation results are consistent with the experimental results. The research achievement may provide a new and safe rock-fracturing method for geological engineering.
