In　order　to　analyze　the　initial　shock　pressure　of　hole　wall　with　air-decked　charge,　the　column　charge　is　equivalent　to　a　certain　number　of　the　spherical　charges　with　Starfield　method.Considering　the　attenuation　and　superposition　of　the　pressure　in　the　axial　direction,　the　theoretical　solution　of　the　initial　pressure　acting　on　the　hole-wall　can　be　obtained　for　the　charge　conditions　of　up-air-deck　and　middle-air-deck,　respectively.The　stress　monitoring　is　carried　out　with　the　numerical　modeling　by　the　software　of　ANSYS/LS-DYNA.Meanwhile,　the　stress　field　of　explosion　around　the　blast　hole　is　also　measured　for　the　concrete　model　via　the　high-speed　dynamic　stress　testing　system.The　comparison　is　conducted　between　the　results　obtained　from　the　numerical　measurements　and　theoretical　solutions.Results　show　that　the　maximum　stress　occurs　in　the　charging　section　for　the　up-air-deck　charge　condition.With　the　increase　of　the　distance　away　from　the　charging　section,　the　stress　presents　a　sharp　decrease　first　and　maintains　a　relatively　constant　value.For　the　middle-air-deck　condition,　the　minimum　stress　occurs　at　the　middle　of　the　air　column　and　the　maximum　stresses　occurs　at　the　both　end　of　borehole.The　relative　errors　between　the　initial　impact　pressures　obtained　from　the　theoretical　solution　and　numerical　model　are　relatively　small　for　both　the　two　charging　structures.The　above　mentioned　results　indicate　that　the　pressure　distribution　is　nonuniform　along　the　axial　direction　of　the　borehole.Meanwhile,　the　stress　distribution　characteristics　for　the　two　charge　structures　agree　well　with　the　theoretical　results,　which　verifies　the　rationality　of　the　theoretical　solutions.　©　2017,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　China　Coal　Society.　All　right　reserved.
