Abstract:When researching rock blasting, the design parameters used for the analysis are usually the ge-ometric and charging ones. This study is based on a different approach, and focuses on the effect of timing, in specific the role of delays in the initiation sequence. The data come from the results of full-scale blasts. The experimental setting and location allowed to consider all parameter other than the number of delays as a constant. The experimental results are analyzed relating the delay var-iables to fragment… Show more
