Optimizing blast design and bench geometry for stability and productivity in open pit limestone mines using experimental and numerical approaches
Abstract Optimizing blast design and bench geometry is crucial for enhancing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of open-pit mining operations. This study examines the effects of blast design and bench geometry adjustments on bench slope stability through numerical modelling under static and...
