Abstract

The recommended explosive weight for secondar:Y blasting using internal charges is 0.1 kg/m3 (Olofsson, 1991). An alternative technique using small explosive charges is being developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This technique uses common explosive products and has reduced boulder scatter, flyrock and airblast
