This topic mainly works on the study and evaluation of optimum blast and blasting parameters. In mining industry OPENCAST mining, the DRILLING AND BLASTING is …
In any blast design, the burden and the blast hole depth (or bench height) must be reasonably compatible. The rule of thumb for bench blasting is that the hole depth-to-burden ratio should be between 1.5 and 4.0. Hole depths. Figure 19-13.—Staggered blast pattern with alternate delays (blast hole spacing, S, is.
The importance of drilling and blasting has been briefed in this chapter with the help of statistical data. The progressive advance-ments in underground blasting have also …
Additionally, the blasting methods for narrow vein mining and excavation in ore-waste combination have also been discussed in this chapter. 8.1 Introduction Production enhancement and improving grade of the excavated mineral are two main goals of a mining engineer. Optimization of blasting pattern has significant contri-
The method for calculating drilling-and-blasting parameters can be used only during underground mining using emulsion explosives, while determination of stoping operations parameters requires modeling of compression and fracturing zones, studying the changes of emulsion explosives density and mass as well as detonation velocity along the charge ...

The future of mining lies in increased automation. Robots are playing an increasing role in the industry, replacing workers in dangerous and increasingly deeper and remote environments. This article has provided a brief exploration of automated drilling and blasting systems in the mining industry. Automating these operations will bring …
The most common method of partial-. face blasting is the heading-and-bench method, wher e the top part of the tunnel is blasted first, at full width, followed by blasting of the rema ining bench ...
Drilling and blasting as a key activity in the mining cycle have a key role in operational risk management. Many empirical methods have been developed to determine blast design parameters or the prediction of blast outcomes. However, these methods cannot cover all associated parameters and factors in design or prediction.
Abstract. To optimize the drilling and blasting process in underground mining using the Holmberg method to create the drilling-and-blasting mesh design. The method it is an experimental applied-type and correlational-level inductive method. The Holmberg method showed good efficiency of 95% because it works with the rock mass …
Abstract. This paper discusses a systematic approach to underground ring design as well as a methodology for the continuous improvement of designs as conditions change. The methodology is applicable to designs for prefeasibility and feasibility stages as well as designs for currently producing mines. The proposed method still recognises the ...
