The flow behavior of the ore and waste significantly affect the dilution in sublevel caving
(SLC) mines. Drill and blast issues are identified as having a substantial impact upon SLC …

This paper attempts to study dolomite failure using small-scale blast tests. The experimental
setup consisted of a cylindrical specimen with a central borehole fitted with a detonation …

Cut blasting is one of the most essential processes to reduce blast-induced vibration in
tunnel blasting. The long and large-diameter uncharged hole boring (LLB) method is an …

A study of dolomite rock material failure using a simple small-scale blast setup is presented.
Laboratory tests were conducted using disc specimens drilled with a borehole in the center …

Over the years, the cost of production at Peak Mine Midlands, Zimbabwe, has been high due
to oversized rock fragments. This led to increased mining costs far above what was planned …

The conventional bench blasting method uses the bottom initiation in all blast holes in a
round, whereas the MDS (mixture detonation system) method applies the bottom and top …

Основни недостатак методе подетажног зарушавања је релативно високо
осиромашење садржаја метала у ровној руди услед прилива јаловог материјала …

In this paper the Hoek-Brown (HB) failure criterion is integrated into the Holmquist-Johnson-
Cook (HJC) concrete material model to reflect the inherent characteristics of field rock …
