MODULE 7 Part I Blasting and its effects

Dr. Gideon Chitombo Dr. Italo Onederra Dr. Frederic Vanbrabant (Tricomin Chile)

About this course


This course is a collation of current understanding of blast induced damage The course combines both theory and practice and provides practicing engineers with necessary reference material to help understand the mechanisms of damage, the way in which it can be practically controlled, predicted and modelled. The courses benefits from both published literature, case studies including the authors experience in this area

Course authors and presenters


The overall course has been prepared by Dr. Gideon Chitombo, Dr. Italo Onederra and Dr. Frederic Vanbrabant. These authors combined, have international experience in mining geomechanics which includes blasting and rock mechanics in a wide range of mining and rock mass conditions. They include operations in Australia, Africa, North America, Europe and South America.
