rock masses, they will result in very varied levels of fragmentation [10]. Literature explained that due to the fact that each rock mass has a unique propensity to resist being broken up by blasting, a property known as blastability [11, 12]. Rock fragmentation using Explosive energy has been thoroughly investigated through tests other techniques.
This paper evaluates the fragmentation of in-situ rock blasting, and further introduces a unique approach to evaluate rock fragmentation on the ROM pad and the impact …
Underwater rock blasting and surface blasting differ primarily in the environment they interact with water and air, respectively [].One significant difference is the acoustic impedance, which is a measure of how sound travels through a medium [14, 15].Water has a much higher acoustic impedance compared to air [].Secondly, we must consider the effects of …
Several studies are available in the literature to estimate the radius of crushed zone, deterministically. ... Estimation of Damage Induced by Single-Hole Rock Blasting: A Review on Analytical ...
The radius of the failure area after a blasting fracture process of burnt rock is affected by joint fissures, does not conform to the existing theoretical calculation formula and the distribution law of the failure area also changes. The fracture area is large, and the fracture extension and expansion area are small. Therefore, in order to describe the damage of blasting …

This paper presents a review of the existing models for the estimation of explosion-induced crushed and cracked zones. The control of these zones is of utmost importance in the rock explosion design, since it aims at optimizing the fragmentation and, as a result, minimizing the fine grain production and recovery cycle. Moreover, this optimization can …
A conceptual model for the urban flow of excavated soil and rock was developed and a literature review concerning the management of excavated soil and rock was conducted. ... is mainly focusing on the metabolism of excavated soil and rock which consist of all materials generated when digging/blasting in the ground for urban construction ...

Rock Fragmentation by Blasting – a review The rock fragmentation process in mining currently being practiced in India needs re-examination to improve the productivity of the mine.
The conventional blasting rock excavation method is the main means of rock breakage because of its high productivity, and it is relatively inexpensive compared to other methods. However, it raises safety concerns and can negatively impact the environment. The major disturbances that may be induced by this method include flyrock, gas emissions, and vibrations. This review …
Despite the ever-growing massive consumption of aggregates, knowledge about their environmental footprint is limited. My literature review on aggregate Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) highlighted many shortcomings, such as low-quality inputs and fragmented system boundaries, and estimated that gravel consumption is responsible for 0.17–1.8% of the …
Accurately estimating the blastability of rock mass is crucial for precise blasting design, enhancing blasting efficiency, and minimizing unnecessary damage to the rock mass. Despite the development of various methods for blastability evaluation, none has gained wide acceptance due to the complexity of rock masses. This paper aims to systematically review the …
Blasting is an effective method of rock breaking in deep engineering activities such as excavation of tunnels and exploitation of underground resources, and the ideal section of blasting ...
For example, the radius of crushing may be used to define a volume of crushed rock around individual blastholes. ...

Transmission of explosion waves through a rock medium causes a severe vibration that stimulates the mechanical behavior of rock mass. This stimulation imposes highly concentrated stresses on the ends of existing fine joints and depending on the toughness of the rock, causes them to propagate rapidly. Consequently, the propagation and joining of cracks …
