Abstract
ABSTRACT The blasting process in surface mines involves extremely complex interactions. Utilizing Finite Element (FE) analysis, the affect of rock mass properties and discontinuity data can be fairly idealized and assessed. The purpose of this paper is to present the application of finite element methods to fragmentation due to blasting in surface mining operations. As a result, the prediction and extent of blasting will help the engineers engaged in surface mining and construction operations to use explosives efficiently.
