This book traces the progressive evolution of ancient black powder to modern high-velocity detonating explosives initiated by precise electronic detonators. 12 chapters cover the basic principles of blasting, as well as practical aspects for many situations, including surface and underwater excavation, underground coal and metal mining, civil tunnerls and agricultural blasting. Explosive-related accidents have been cited and analysed to highlight lessons learned, and the need for adequate training and certification of persons involved in blasting operations. |
