THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE CONTOUR EXPLOSION METHOD FOR PREPARING SLOPES IN CAREERS

Abstract

 Explored theoretically the interaction of explosive charges in the preliminary gap formation in quarries. A methodology has been developed for conducting experimental studies of blast well contour explosions on models, which allows one to investigate crack formation on volumetric models and wave interaction using high speed video recording of the explosion process in transparent models, as well as determine the parameters of explosion stress waves in samples of real rocks.
