Abstract

Rock blasting model includes two kinds of models, empirical models and theoretical models. In this chapter some models for bench blasting, including empirical models and theoretical models, will be introduced briefly. Computer-aided design (CAD) packages for drilling and blasting operations is designed to perform procedures with preparation of technical documentation for drilling and blasting operations of rock excavation, especially for open pit production. Some successful CAD programs are introduced as well in this chapter.
