46th Annual Conference

Modeling Blast Induced Damage in Open Pit Mines with Numerical Models (Room Capitol Ballroom 1-4; Fourth Floor)

28 Jan 20
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM

Tracks: Session 6 - Rock Fragmentation

Speaker(s): Jason Furtney

Understanding the effect of blast induced damage on wall stability is critical to safe and economical operation of a large open pit mine. Numerical modeling is used to demonstrate the mechanisms that cause to high wall damage.
