Introduction Blasting is a critical operation in mining, quarrying, and construction that involves the controlled detonation of explosives to break rock into manageable fragments. The fundamental principle behind blasting lies in understanding the interaction between explosive energy and rock mechanics, particularly the propagation of shock waves and the subsequent formation of fractures. The Shock-Wave Theory […]

Part 3 Blast Design What are the causes of Excessive burden in blast design and how to identify blast fragmentation that result from excessive burden or other ill blast design using WipFrag 4. Starting with this quote from Singh et al. (1998), the mentioned that “Drilling errors are frequent but undesirable occurrences in mining operations […]

This article answer the question below: What happens to your blast fragmentation when you have excessive inter row distance (Burden)? Introduction – Excessive Burden According to Prasad et al. (2017), Rock fragmentation size is very important parameters for economical point of view in any surface mining. Excessive inter-row distance, often referred to as an increased […]

Excessive burden in blasting refers to having too much rock mass in front of the blast holes. This is relative to the designed blast parameters. The burden is the distance between a blast hole and the free face. If this distance is too large, it can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the blasting […]
