  Application of High-Speed Videography in Assessing the Performance of Blasts

  By Vedala Rama Sastry, G Raghu Chandra, N Adithya, S A Saiprasad

  Abstract: Abstract Blasting can be considered as the most crucial process in an opencast mine. It is therefore important for mining engineers to understand the effect of geological discontinuities and blast design parameters on the results of blasting. Bench height and burden are very important parameters affecting stiffness of bench. Joints alter the results of blasting, by making explosive energy utilization ineffective. Modern tools like high-speed videography reveal many aspects of …
