Description

Rock Blasting and Explosives Engineering covers the practical engineering aspects of many different kinds of rock blasting.

It includes a thorough analysis of the cost of the entire process of tunneling by drilling and blasting in comparison with full-face boring.

Also covered are the fundamental sciences of rock mass and material strength, the thermal decomposition, burning, shock initiation, and detonation behavior of commercial and military explosives, and systems for charging explosives into drillholes.

Functional descriptions of all current detonators and initiation systems are provided.

The book includes chapters on flyrock, toxic fumes, the safety of explosives, and even explosives applied in metal working as a fine art.

Fundamental in its approach, the text is based on the practical industrial experience of its authors.

It is supported by an abundance of tables, diagrams, and figures.

This combined textbook and handbook provides students, practitioners, and researchers in mining, mechanical, building construction, geological, and petroleum engineering with a source from which to gain a thorough understanding of the constructive use of explosives.
