Application of directional blasting in mining and civil engineering, 1986

Book ·
OSTI ID:5611570
The author describes the mechanism of breaking mineral rocks through blasting and offers recommendations on the application of directional blasting in mining and civil engineering. He also introduces criteria for cost-effectiveness of transporting rock mass from stope to pile by means of energy of explosion. And, the book presents ballistic tables to be used in constructing the trajectory of movement of a rock fragment during blasting operations while taking into account the topography of the land. In this edition, the author presents a more detailed theoretical treatment on the mechanism of fragmentation of a monolithic or fissured rock mass through blasting.
