Abstract: This paper presents the application of dynamic modelling for designing bench blasting patterns. By combining the terms of bench blasting design pattern, production planning, noise, vibration, fly rock, and estimation of drilling and blasting costs, as a decision making tool for planning bench blasting efficiency, reducing the environmental impacts of noise, vibrations, and fly rock from the bench blasting can be created.
The results of a prototype model can be used to design bench blasting patterns following mine production planning and are based on the theory of the bench blasting as well. The developed model is incorporated in the assessment of drilling and blasting costs, it also makes it easy to compare the results of the design in terms of the underlying model for the design of the bench blasting. Therefore, this model is one of the alternatives that can be used to support the decision making in planning of bench blasting design patterns effectively.
Key Words: Bench Blasting Design / System Dynamics Model / Prototype Blasting Model
