Numerical modeling of destress blasting for strata separation

Destress blasting (DB) implemented along the perimeter of safety pillars is a special application of destressing in coal longwall mining. The goal is to separate relatively more deformed mined areas from safety pillars, such as shaft pillars or cross-cut pillars, to reduce the transfer of high stres...
