Distance from Blast Hole to Nearest Perpendicular Free Face or Burden Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Burden = sqrt(Diameter of Borehole*Length of Borehole)
B = sqrt(D_h*L)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Burden - (Measured in Meter) - Burden is the distance from the blast hole to the nearest perpendicular free face.
Diameter of Borehole - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Borehole is any straight-line segment that passes through the center of the borehole.
Length of Borehole - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Borehole is the longer dimension of the borehole.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Diameter of Borehole: 10.1 Foot --> 3.07848000001231 Meter (Check conversion here)
Length of Borehole: 20.2 Foot --> 6.15696000002463 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

B = sqrt(D_h*L) --> sqrt(3.07848000001231*6.15696000002463)

Evaluating ... ...

B = 4.35362816751174

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.35362816751174 Meter -->14.2835569799683 Foot (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

14.2835569799683 ≈ 14.28356 Foot <-- Burden

< Vibration Control in Blasting Calculators

Velocity of Particle One at Distance from Explosion

LaTeX Go Velocity of Particle with Mass m1 = Velocity of Particle with Mass m2*(Distance of Particle 2 from Explosion/Distance of Particle 1 from Explosion)^(1.5)

Velocity of Particles disturbed by Vibrations

LaTeX Go Velocity of Particle = (2*pi*Frequency of Vibration*Amplitude of Vibration)

Wavelength of Vibrations caused by Blasting

LaTeX Go Wavelength of Vibration = (Velocity of Vibration/Frequency of Vibration)

Velocity of Vibrations caused by Blasting

LaTeX Go Velocity of Vibration = (Wavelength of Vibration*Frequency of Vibration)

Distance from Blast Hole to Nearest Perpendicular Free Face or Burden Formula

LaTeX Go

Burden = sqrt(Diameter of Borehole*Length of Borehole)
B = sqrt(D_h*L)
