Drilling and blasting is still the most widely used method for tunnel excavation in hard rocks.
However, this method causes damage to adjacent buildings and structures mainly because …

The blasting technique is widely adopted to break rock in civil and mining engineering, and
its operation is generally subjected to static pressure due to tectonic and gravitational …

Recent technological advances to trigger high-energy seismic waves from within the
wellbore have spurred interest in their potential application to induce fracturing within deep …

In this study, dynamic photomechanical blasting experiments were conducted to investigate
the interaction mechanisms of dual cracks induced by explosions at different relative …

The dominant technology in hard rock mining is drilling and blasting; therefore, the
importance of fragment size estimation is an essential problem in the mining industry. By …

The complexity of blasting designs and the extensive computational cost pose significant
challenges in accurate prediction using three-dimensional numerical methods. This paper …

Modelling the dynamic mechanical response of rock mass under sequential explosive
detonation, especially the fracture and energy evolution characteristics, is the key to …

This study investigates the directional blasting of a 90° slit charge structure using laboratory
experiments and field tests. A 90° slit charge suitable for the corner of roadway is proposed …

During the blasting process, a fracture zone is formed in the vicinity of the blast hole. Any
damage that extends beyond the excavation boundary line necessitates the implementation …
