Burden is one of the major influencing blast design parameters which should be optimised for the extraction of narrow vein ore bodies. Numerical simulation-based approach has been …
Burden is one of the most important parameter which plays an immense role in rock breakage using explosive energy. It is very difficult to select the optimum burden under …
Expansion of seaports often necessitates demolition of old berths near newly constructed berths. The 'Underwater drilling and blasting'technique is generally preferred for demolition …
The optimum utilisation of explosive energy in the rock blasting operation is a prime challenge for the blast designers. The explosive energy in this operation is used for …

According to various human needs, such as mineral supply, transportation, and underground storage, tunnel excavation has become commonplace today. However, one of …
The mineral industries have shown a significant shift from openpit to underground method of mining due to extinction of shallow depth ore deposits. The openpit mining is preferred for …
The drivage excavation in underground mine is done to make the access to the orebody. The excavation is dominantly performed using drilling and blasting. The burn-cut blasting …
Underground blasting for hard rock mining consists of three main stages as drivage development, slot raise excavation and production ring excavation. The nature of challenges …
This book enriches the readers with the advances in rock blasting techniques for mining and civil construction rock excavation projects, including the need for and importance of rock …
