Fundamentos para simulação dos desmontes de rocha por explosivos

Abstract

This article shows some results of the doutorate thesis about blast simulation. It's looked for the development of blast simulation estabilished in Kuz-Ram and TCM (Two Components Model) models. For that was developed a software called SIMBLAST. The data for this test of simulate was took in the iron mine in Carajás owned by CVRD - Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, located in the south of Para State. The simulator was tested firstly in blasting of hard hematite (HD) and soft hematite (HM) with the intention of compararison of the models
