Disclosed herein is a rock blasting method using air bladders embedded in explosives. The rock blasting method includes the step of drilling a plurality of loading holes into a rock to predetermined depths in a predetermined arrangement. Thereafter, the loading holes are loaded with a plurality of initial explosives, a plurality of primers and a plurality of explosives in such a way that one or more air bladders are inserted into each of the loading holes and surrounded by the explosives. Thereafter, the loading holes are stemmed with stemming materials in the portions of the loading holes situated over the explosives. The primers are detonated so that the initial explosives and explosives are blown up. Hence, the loading lengths of the explosives are increased in proportion to the lengths of the air bladders so that a projection area formed on the free face of the rock is increased.

1. A rock blasting method using air bladders embedded in explosives, comprising the steps of: drilling a plurality of loading holes into a rock to predetermined depths in a predetermined arrangement; loading the loading holes with a plurality of initial explosives, a plurality of primers, a plurality of explosives and at least one air bladder in such a way that the at least one air bladder is inserted into each of the loading holes and surrounded by the explosives; stemming the loading holes with stemming materials in the portions of the loading holes situated over the explosives; and detonating the primers so that the initial explosives and explosives are blown up; whereby the loading lengths of the explosives are increased in proportion to the lengths of the air bladders so that a projection area formed on the free face of the rock is increased. 2. The rock blasting method according to claim 1, wherein said air bladders each have a predetermined length and a diameter less than that of the loading hole, and are fabricated in the form of elongated cylinders. 3. The rock blasting method according to claim 1, wherein said air bladders each have a predetermined length and a diameter less than that of the loading hole, and are fabricated in the form of balls. 4. The rock blasting method according to claim 2, wherein said air bladders are made of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or polyamide. 5. The rock blasting method according to claim 2, further comprising one or more bladder supports for positioning said air bladders in the center of the loading hole and forming two or more openings, said bladder supports being fitted around each air bladder and inserted into the loading hole, together with the air bladder. 6. The rock blasting method according to claim 5, wherein said bladder supports are each and integrally comprised of a ring portion provided at its center portion with a center hole for accommodating the air bladder and two or more support projections regularly spaced apart from each other, projected from the ring portion and supported on the wall of the loading hole. 7. The rock blasting method according to claim 1, wherein said explosives are ammonium nitrate fuel oil or gel-state bulk explosives in the form of powder.
