Empirical relation to evaluate blast induced crack development zone while using explosives of different detonation pressure in opencast bench blasting

The optimum utilisation of explosive energy in the rock blasting operation is a prime challenge for the blast designers. The explosive energy in this operation is used for movement of burden. The optimum fracturing of the rock mass to meet the production demand takes place along tension. In the proc...
