Rock Blasting Fines: Mechanisms Explained by Bruno Goes is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document reviews experimental and theoretical studies on the generation of fines during rock blasting, challenging traditional geometric models that attribute fines primarily to a crushed zone around blast holes. It proposes a new statistical model emphasizing dynamic crack growth and the branching-merging mechanism of crack tips as significant sources of fines, particularly in hard rock. The authors call for further critical experiments to validate this new mechanism and improve understanding of rock f
