Features of forming an explosive fracture zone in a hard rock mass

Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of extended discontinuities in a hard rock mass on regularities of forming explosive fracture zones is considered. The comparison of the numerical and in situ experimental results permits to conclude that, in common with the known effect of seismic blast wave screenage, transformation of the wavefront configuration is of drastic importance. In a number of cases, that results in the generation of complex-structured fracture zones: new fractured zones can form beyond unbroken areas. It is demonstrated that the similar effects may cause redistribution of the blast energy and, as a consequence, the higher seismic efficiency produced by flat charge blasting as compared with concentrated charge blasting.
