The Kingery-Bulmash equation is the most common equation to calculate blast load. However, the Kingery-Bulmash equation is complicated. In this paper, a modified equation for surface blast load is proposed. The equation is based on Kingery-Bulmash equation. The proposed equation requires a brief calculation process, and the number of coefficients is reduced under 5. As a result, each parameter obtained by using the modified equation has less than 1% of error range comparing with the result by using Kingery-Bulmash equation. The modified equation may replace the original equation with brief process to calculate.

PURPOSES : In this study blast furnace slag, an industrial byproduct, was used with an activating chemicals, Ca(OH)2 and Na2SiO3 for carbon capture and sequestration as well as strength development. METHODS: This paper presents the optimized mixing design of Carbon-Capturing and Sequestering Activated Blast-Furnace Slag Mortar. Design of experiments in order to the optimized mixing design was applied and commercial program (MINITAB) was used. Statistical analysis was used to Box-Behnken (B-B) method in response surface analysis. RESULTS : The influencing factors of experimental are water ratio, Chemical admixture ratio and Curing temperature. In the results of response surface analysis, to obtain goal performance, the optimized mixing design for Carbon-Capturing and Sequestering Activated Blast- Furnace Slag Mortar were water ratio 40%, Chemical admixture ratio 58.78% and Curing temperature of 60℃. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with previous studies of this experiment is to some extent the optimal combination is expected to be reliable.
