Abstract
Blast-induced fracture networks largely control the degree of rock fragmentation and final outcome of blasting operations. Precise laboratory-scale single-hole blast experiments have been carried out in cylindrical samples of a well-characterized granitic rock to study stress wave induced fracture patterns. The rock samples measured 144 mm in diameter and 150 mm in length. Detonating cord was employed as the explosive source in the centrally...
