Surface Mine Blasting. Proceedings: Bureau of Mines Technology Transfer Seminar, Chicago, Illinois, April 15, 1987

摘要

The Bureau of Mines has sponsored a comprehensive research program to enhance the safe, effective, and efficient use of blasting technology by the mining industry. Recent research results of the surface mine blasting program were presented at a seminar on April 15, 1987, in Chicago, IL. Many of the topics discussed at the seminar are presented in the proceedings. The new research described in these papers includes computer monitoring of rock motion, the influence of blast delay times on rock fragmentation, blasting effects on Appalachian water wells, blast vibration measurement near structures, and the reduction of accidents through improved blasting safety.
