Speaker(s): Bill Adamson

Establishing a measurable and repeatable methodology for describing a causal model of rock mass damage or degradation due to physical blasting impacts is a valuable capability for both blasting and geomechanical disciplines. The paper reviews unpublished work that explores the application of crosshole seismic scanning to this end.
