Instrumentation was again placed 5-meters behind the presplit row. The peak gas pressure measurement was a positive 67 kPa and the velocities from the presplit blast measured 685 mm/s. With this data, assessment of damages was done and comparison of production blasting versus wall control (presplit) blasting were made. First assessed was the PPV.

Designing Blast Patterns Using Empirical Formulas A Comparison of Calculated Patterns With Plans Used in Quarrying Limestone and Dolomite, With Geologic Considerations By Joseph M. Pugliese Twin Cities Mining Research Center, Minneapolis, Minn . . US Department of Interior

WALL CONTROL BLASTING TECHNIQUES -----The best approach will be to initially design the presplit shot, using the air-deck approach, on …

Detagel™ Presplit is cost effective. The purchase price of the product is the total product cost. No need to add cord, tape, couplers, makeup labor or additional accessories. Each case contains splicing ties for attaching string loads. Detagel™ Presplit can be easily loaded by one person.

pre-splitting A method of blasting in which a planar crack is propagated by blasting to determine the final shape of a rock face before holes are drilled for the final blast pattern; firing with a minimum time scatter can then be used. The crack helps to screen the surroundings from ground vibrations during the firing of the main round. Source for information on pre-splitting: A Dictionary of ...

Among the total damage, the blasting of the production hole is the main resource, followed by the smooth and buffering holes. For the presplit blasting, the final damage of rock slope is mainly induced by presplit blasting itself. The spatial distribution characteristics of the final damage zone of two methods are compared.

normal blasting procedures. It was believed that the inability to presplit in a horizontal direction underground was a direct consequence of the static stress conditions. If the in situ stress is due primarily to the weight of the overburden, the vertical

Equation (2) was used for calculation of presplit. ... The blasting frequency could be reached to hundreds of times, so the frequency is the major reason decreasing the cohesion of rock mass ...

blast will be granted based upon the results of the meeting. Tests blasts may be required and may ... base of a column of presplit powder. (7 C.C.R. 1101-9) Battered Production Holes – The row of production holes closest to presplit line, drilled at the same angle as the presplit holes.

To understand differences of smooth and presplit blasting for the excavation of rock wells, two field experiments using these two techniques are implemented at the same test site, respectively. The ground vibrations induced by them have been monitored with the different distances through the corresponding devices. The vibration results illustrate that at the same monitoring distance and ...

Presplit blasting involves drilling a single row of holes along the back of the final excavation zone . Unlike smooth wall blasting, the presplit holes are fired on the first delay of the production blast. The presplit technique is the most commonly used controlled blasting technique for surface operations. 3.

"Precision Presplitting is a widely used method of presplit blasting for the mining and construction industries. In recent years considerable effort has gone into the development of empirical equations based on field data to be able to better design the Precision Presplit for various rock types and structural environments. However, the most widely discussed theory about the mechanics of the ...

The vibration induced by middle-drift or expanding excavation is cut off by the reasonable use of presplit blasting. Thus, the MEP method in the high side wall zone can be evolved into five types [ 14 ], as shown in Figure 27 and Table 5 .

DW Drilling & Blasting, LLC is a licensed distributor for Maxam of North America, for Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. We offer a full line of blasting products for Construction, Mining and the Oil exploration and development industries.

2. Blasting parameters theory and the theoretical basis of buffer blasting A Aperture Generally, aperture is based on the size of the drilling equipment of a open-pit. If the aperture smaller,it will increase the cost and boulder yield is high near the presplit face,the effect of blasting is also bigger,so the appropriate aperture should be ...

Presplit Blasting: Presplit blasting, or presplitting, is used before production blasting to protect the final rock face from damage caused by the production blasting. Presplitting creates a fracture plane along the final slope face, which prevents the radial cracks created by production blasting from penetrating into the finished face; without ...
