EXPLOSIVE AND BLASTING DESIGN AND SAFETY MEASURE: TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFE ROCK BLAST AND EFFICIENT USE OF EXPLOSIVE
Blasting Design, safety and Explosive handling and Storage: Many scholar contribution worldwide [07/06, 8:33 p.m.] Hanif Ullah khan: The purpose of a good open pit blast design (production blast) is to achieve the following at acceptable costs...: -fragmentation, muckpile profile for safe and efficient loading and hauling and other downstream processee -wall stability -minimum environmental impacts (undesirable effects of a blast): ground vibrations, noise, airblast, _flyrock_, dust and fumes. [07/06, 8:33 p.m.] Hanif Ullah khan: I will be throwing in some of the rules of thumb for open pit blast design. A rule of thumb is basically a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate but can be quite handy in coming up with sound and economic designs [07/06, 8:33 p.m.] Hanif Ullah khan: -Mining equipment: equipment also has a say in the blast deasign process. Drilling equipment dictates blasthole diameter and depth limits. Loading ...
