Flyrock is an adverse effect produced by blasting in open-pit mines and tunnelling projects.
So, it seems that the precise estimation of flyrock is essential in minimizing environmental …

Blasting is a common method of breaking rock in surface mines. Although the fragmentation
with proper size is the main purpose, other undesirable effects such as flyrock are inevitable …

One of the most undesirable consequences induced by blasting in open-pit mines and civil
activities is flyrock. Furthermore, the production of oversize boulders creates many problems …

Flyrock is one of the most important environmental and hazardous issues in mine blasting,
which can affect equipment and people, and may lead to fatal accidents. Therefore …

Blasting is the process of use of explosives to excavate or remove the rock mass. The main
objective of blasting operation is to provide proper rock fragmentation and to avoid …
