Abstract: The application of dynamic modelling for designing surface coal blasting patterns is presented. By combining the terms of open cast blasting design pattern, production planning, noise, vibration, fly rock, and estimation of drilling and blasting costs, as a decision making tool for planning surface coal blasting efficiency, reducing the environmental impacts of noise, vibrations, and fly rock from the surface coal blasting can be created.
The results of the model can be used to design surface coal blasting patterns following mine production planning and are based on the theory of the open cast 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 surface coal blasting. Therefore, this model is one of the alternatives that can be used to support the decision making in planning of surface coal blasting design patterns effectively.
