The use of explosives is a common and economical method to fragment and/or displace
hard rocks in tunnels and surface and underground mines. Ground vibration, as a side …

Back break is an unsolicited phenomenon caused due to rock condition, blast geometry,
explosive and initiation system in mines. It does not help in creating a smooth high wall and …

Blast-induced ground vibration (GV) is a hazardous phenomenon in open-pit mines, and it
has unquestionable effects, such as slope instability, deformation of structures, and …

Back-break is one of the adverse effects of blasting, which results in unstable mine walls,
high duration, falling machinery, and inappropriate fragmentation. Thus, the economic …

This study considered and predicted blast-induced ground vibration (PPV) in open-pit mines
using bagging and sibling techniques under the rigorous combination of machine learning …

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 …

Longhole stoping is a productive exploitation technique for underground metalliferous
deposits. The method consists of deep-hole blasting with increased explosive charges to …

Boulder blasting is a different process from conventional bench blasting. Fly-rock produced
in boulder blasting is a major safety concern due to the presence of 360° free-face which …

There are several methods (empirical, statistical, and machine learning tools) to calculate
blast-induced ground vibration. Still, due to complications in the blasting procedure, under …

Air overpressure (AOp) and peak particle velocity (PPV) are the most undesirable effects of
blasting in mines. It is an urgent need to design a predictor model for AOp and PPV for …
