Oct 26, 2013 In presplitting blast method, the main emphasis is placed on incipiently cracks which are the major cracks in rock blasting process. The developing of three blast zones in presplit holes largely depends on the spacing between blast holes and explosive loading

met by the technique of presplitting, developed in the United States in the late 1950s. Basically, this technique consists of creating a continuous crack (or presplit) at a desired finished excavation line by initially firing a line of closely spaced, lightly loaded holes

(1) In presplit blasting, rock fracturing is the product of the synergistic action of stress waves and detonation gas. The study found that the presence of empty holes between blast holes can improve tangential stress distribution and guide crack propagation

Why was presplitting beneficial to the final wall face? It was suggested by Peterson that the blast pattern can be setup in such a way that the blasted rock moves along the presplit face instead of into the remaining rock. This limits thrust and movement of the remaining wall

Presplitting is often used to control the highwalls. Millions of pounds of explosives are used every year for this. Dykon Blasting Corp. is a rock blasting contractor and offers drilling and blasting programs for all these highway projects both large and small
