Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the scientific principles and practical applications of rock blasting in mining, quarrying, tunneling, and other engineering projects. It challenges traditional theories and formulas, which often proved inaccurate in real-world scenarios. The author argues that previous approaches neglected crucial factors like rock cohesion, chamber shape, and the influence of gravity on the blasting process. Through meticulous experiments and analysis, the book establishes a more precise understanding of the forces at play during rock blasting. It introduces concepts such as the modulus of shearing and the chamber coefficient, providing engineers with reliable tools for calculating charges and optimizing blasting efficiency. The author emphasizes the importance of considering the specific properties of the rock, the desired outcome (e.g., shattering versus controlled breakage), and the available explosives. Detailed discussions cover various explosive types, their characteristics, and best practices for their use. Safety aspects, including tamping techniques and electric shot firing, are also thoroughly addressed. By offering a comprehensive and scientifically grounded approach to rock blasting, this book equips engineers and practitioners with the knowledge to achieve greater precision, safety, and cost-effectiveness in their operations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332050437_0
