Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Blasting Space = sqrt(Burden*Length of Borehole)
S_b = sqrt(B*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

Blasting Space - (Measured in Foot) - Blasting Space denotes the lateral distance on centers between holes in a row.
Burden - (Measured in Foot) - Burden is the distance from the blast hole to the nearest perpendicular free face.
Length of Borehole - (Measured in Foot) - Length of Borehole is the longer dimension of the borehole.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Burden: 14 Foot --> 14 Foot No Conversion Required
Length of Borehole: 20.2 Foot --> 20.2 Foot No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_b = sqrt(B*L) --> sqrt(14*20.2)

Evaluating ... ...

S_b = 16.8166584076623

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5.12571748267598 Meter -->16.8166584076623 Foot (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

16.8166584076623 ≈ 16.81666 Foot <-- Blasting Space

< 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)

Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting Formula

LaTeX Go

Blasting Space = sqrt(Burden*Length of Borehole)
S_b = sqrt(B*L)

What is Spacing and Burden?

Spacing and burden are important parameters and have immediate impacts on rock fragmentation in blast design. Excessive burden creates resistance to penetrate the explosion gases into the fracture and displace rock, and will also produce excessive vibration level.

How to Calculate Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting?

Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting calculator uses Blasting Space = sqrt(Burden*Length of Borehole) to calculate the Blasting Space, The Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting is defined as the spacing provided in blasting when burden and length of borehole is known. Blasting Space is denoted by S_b symbol.

How to calculate Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Spacing for Multiple Simultaneous Blasting, enter Burden (B) & Length of Borehole (L) and hit the calculate button.
