Title: RESOLUTION OF SOME COMMON PROBLEMS IN HIGHWAY BLASTING
Accession Number: 00468625
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: In this paper is presented a description of several problems associated with highway blasting that continue to recur with undesirable results. Suggestions are offered for handling such problems so as to mitigate or eliminate their impacts on future projects. The problems discussed involve selected aspects of presplitting of slopes, oversized rock in required excavations or quarries, design and excavation of benches, blast effects, and seismic data processing. The suggested solutions require a better understanding of geology, rock mechanics, and seismology and involve all parties to the work--designers, specification writers, explosives users, and those who monitor blasting effects. The examples selected for discussion reflect actual experiences on real projects. However, neither the projects nor the individuals involved are identified by name.
