Abstract
Highlights
-
A simulation approach consisting of the finite element method for blast loading calculation and the bonded-particle method for bench blasting simulation was applied to study the blast-induced rock movement. All simulation procedures were introduced in detail.
-
Most of the rock strips shows a fold-back stacking phenomenon in open-pit bench blasting, and the rock strips near the bench face may form a state of forwarding flapping due to the naturally accumulation under gravity.
-
Blast-induced rock movement becomes obvious with the increasing bench height, descreasing burden, and the decreasing distance form the bench face to particle.
