Abstract

At the studied quarry, limestone is extracted for its exploitation as construction material. The main functions of production blasts are to obtain, by using civil explosives, a suitable block size for the crushing plant, to achieve a stable, well-marked and rectilinear slope, to guarantee the stability of the operation and to minimize the vibrations in the surrounding structures and areas of interest. For this, a type blast is defined in which the main design parameters are simulated and evaluated using JKSimBlast software, a 2D profiler and two seismographs, seeking to reconcile optimal production with a minimum level of vibration in the areas to be monitored.
