    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book enriches the readers with the advances in rock blasting techniques for mining and civil construction rock excavation projects, including the need for and importance of rock blasting, related theories, challenges in rock blasting operations, and rock blasting methodology for excavation of coal and overburden benches of opencast coal mines. It also discusses methods to estimate charge factors and dimensional parameters for different rock types of iron ore mines, blasting methodology for rock strata and the blasting technologies for civil construction projects.


    The book:


    Provides comprehensive review of the prediction methodologies of blasting results.


    Reviews insights into advanced blasting methodologies for rock excavation near sensitive structures.


    Includes case studies of coal mining, iron ore mining, limestone mining and civil construction projects.


    Explores the detailed theoretical background of rock blasting.


    Discusses methodologies of secondary blasting.


    This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mining, geotechnical, and rock engineering.
