Author Description

Flyrock is a serious environmental hazard and is often a cause of fatalities, serious injury to people, and damage to equipment, building, and property. Estimation of blast safety area is an important item in any blasting operation. This book presents a method of investigation blast safety area before blasting operation in boulders and also compares result of empirical methods with real data of flyrock distance. This book is a useful source for undergraduate and postgraduate students in field of geotechnics, geological and mining and also is applicable for blast designer, since investigation of effective parameters in flyrock distance plays a great role in designing blasting patterns.
