Tracks: FRAGBLAST: Modeling and Image Analysis

In this research, image analysis software was used to determine size distribution of blast muck pile in a sandstone quarry. Also, blast fragmentation models were applied to predict size distribution of the blasted material. The results of the fragmentation models were compared to the results of image analysis.
