Abstract

Email to a Friend
It has been recently argued that rock strength has little effect on the final results of pre-split blasting and is of only minor importance when blasting rock in general. However, it can be shown that the maximum borehole separation for optimal perimeter blasting results with constant borehole and loading configuration is strongly dependent on the tensile strength of the rock.
