SEISMIC EFFECTS OF BLASTING AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE STABILITY OF SLOPES IN SURFACE MINES
Blasting represents a fundamental technological operation in the surface exploitation of mineral resources, however, it also generates dynamic loads that can effect on the stability of bench slopes. During mass blasting operations in open pit mines, seismic vibrations are generated, leading to damage in the rock mass and the formation of secondary ...
