Effects of Rock Mass Conditions and Blasting Standard on
2015-4-16 As, especially, the cracks in the rock mass are heavily developed at the limestone quarries in Japan, the joints and/or cracks in the rock mass have big impacts on the blasting effects such as the size of fragmented rocks. Therefore, if the joint system and/or crack density in the rock mass can be known and evaluated in quantity, the blasting operation can be done more effectively, efficiency and safety. However, the guideline for designing the appropriate blasting standard based on the rock mass


Collaborative blast optimisation in a limestone mine Quarry
2021-4-9 Boral’s Limestone Mine near Marulan in southern New South Wales is the source of limestone for up to 60 per cent of all cement products used in the state. It has operated since the 1830s, and today it is Boral’s largest mining operation in Australia. The mine blasts 3.5 million tonnes of rock a year using modern open-cut hard rock drill and blast techniques.


Analysing the Ground Vibration Due to Blasting at
One of the most fundamental stages in open pit mining is drilling and blasting. A good fragmentation and a minimum ground vibration are characteristics of a successful drilling and blasting operation. In this study, 78 blasting events of AlvandQoly limestone mine located in Kurdestan cement company in west of Iran were investigated. The vibrations


MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF BLASTING
2014-9-5 This research has been carried out in the limestone quarries of Assiut Cement Company (CEMEX). Ground vibrations and airblast overpressure induced by bench blasting in the quarries of the company have been measured and evaluated to find out the site-specific attenuation and to assess the risk of structural damage. Statistical treatment has been applied to the measured data. From the regression analysis of the individual peak particle velocity components (longitudinal, transverse, and vertical) and vector sum, attenuation relationships have been established. These relations can be used in predicting the peak particle velocity as well as to calculate the maximum allowable charge per delay. Also, the measured
