Drilling and Blasting for Slope Stabilization and Geotechnical Investigations. Trim blasting is used for controlled blasts in which explosive charges are placed in predetermined pattern of holes drilled into the rock face and then detonated. Potentially unstable masses of rock can sometimes be stabilized using rock bolts and long steel rods drilled into the rock to bind it together. Drilling is a common method of investigation to obtain geotechnical reports required for engineering design. 1, record 1, English, - trim%20blasting

Forage et dynamitage pour la consolidation des talus et études géotechniques. Le dynamitage de découpage est utilisé pour le dynamitage contrôlé dans lequel les charges explosives sont placées dans une combinaison prédéterminée de trous percés dans la paroi rocheuse avant la détonation. Les masses rocheuses potentiellement instables peuvent parfois être stabilisées au moyen de boulons d’ancrage et de longues tiges d’acier enfoncées dans les roches pour les lier ensemble. Le forage est une méthode commune d’exploration pour obtenir les rapports géotechniques requis aux fins de la conception technique. 1, record 1, French, - dynamitage%20de%20d%C3%A9coupage

Pour un forage de quelques mètres de profondeur, on pourra utiliser un outil manuel appelé «sonde de Palissy» qui comprend une tige carrée en acier, de 2 cm de côté, aux extrémités de laquelle sont fixés un trépan d’une part, une cuillère de l'autre. La rotation de l'outil est assurée manuellement par la manœuvre d’un manche transversal appelé tourne à gauche monté sur la barre d’acier. La cuillère fonctionne comme une tarière, le sol étant emprisonné à l'intérieur. Le trépan sert à désagréger certaines couches de sol plus dur. 1, record 2, French, - sonde%20de%20Palissy

La grenaille entraînée par la couronne, sous le poids du tube, roule et s’écrase tout en usant la roche par abrasion. Elle use également le métal du tube qui est en acier doux. Par le canal axial de la tige de sonde on injecte de l’eau sous pression et de temps à autre, on y jette de la grenaille : l’ensemble gagne le fond du trou. Pour permettre à l’eau de refroidissement de passer de l’intérieur à l’extérieur du tube, on ménage, à la base de ce dernier, une encoche latérale.
