In this research work, a comprehensive study is conducted to predict flyrock as a typical and
undesirable phenomenon occurring during the blasting operation in open-pit mining …

Backbreak (BB) is a detrimental outcome of blasting activities in mineral extraction
processes within mines. It involves the development of fractures and cracks at considerable …

Flyrock is known as one of the main problems in open pit mining operations. This
phenomenon can threaten the safety of mine personnel, equipment and buildings around …

The fragment size of blasted rocks considerably affects the mining costs and production
efficiency. The larger amount of blasthole diameter (ϕh) indicates the larger blasting pattern …

This study aims to make a unique contribution to the existing body of knowledge about rock
strength and deformation parameters and crack stress thresholds through intelligent and …

Strength and stiffness characteristics are major concern for selecting any geomaterial.
However, laboratory testing of these characteristics is time associated, laborious, and high …

Nearly 51.8 million hectares of land area in India is covered with expansive soils (mainly
