Ground vibration generated from blasting activities is a major problem in mine open-pit
slopes and nearby properties, and it can endanger the inhabitants in the surrounding …

Our research looked at the effect of explosive maximum instantaneous charge on ground
vibrations and noise levels during blasting operations at the Calaba limestone quarry in …

Prediction and parameter optimization are effective methods for mine personnel to control
blast-induced ground vibration. However, the challenge of effective prediction and …

Two fundamental fracturing mechanisms act as the primary drivers for burden removal in
rock blasting: the propagation of radial cracks from the borehole due to the internal …

One of the most critical complications of blasting in open-pit mines is blast-induced damage
such as back break, which affects various aspects of safety and economy. Recognizing the …

Explosive blasting is commonly used for the retrieval of usable materials or to excavate
underground spaces. One of the most significant side effects produced by the explosive …

Sammanfattning Since 1989 the Swedish Standard for blasting induced vibrations has been
based primarily on distance and overburden. However, there is an uncertainty about the …

Blast induced ground vibration is one of the key concerns from safety view of nearby
structures. There are many direct and indirect parameters responsible for blast induced …

The current thesis project was done in collaboration with Terrafame, which is a large-open
pit mining company located in Sotkamo, Finland. Terrafame extracts and process nickel and …
