摘要：With rampant growth and improvements in drilling technology,drilling of blast holes should no longer be viewed as an arduous sub-process in any mining or excavation ***,it must be viewed as an important opportunity to quickly and accurately measure the geo-mechanical features of the rock mass on-site,much in advance of the downstream *** is well established that even the slightest variation in lithology,ground conditions,blast designs vis-à-vis geologic features and explosives performance,results in drastic changes in fragmentation *** in mind the importance of state-of-the-art measurement-while-drilling(MWD) technique,the current paper focuses on integrating this technique with the blasting operation in order to enhance the blasting designs and *** paper presents a preliminary understanding of various blasting models,blastability and other related concepts,to review the state-of-the-art advancements and researches done in this *** light of this,the paper highlights the future needs and implications on drill monitoring systems for improved information to enhance the blasting results.
