The 11th International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting (FRAGBLAST11) was held 24-26 August 2015 in Sydney, Australia. It was organised by the AusIMM, with support from the International Society of Explosives Engineers (ISEE) and the European Federation of Explosives Engineers (EFEE)._x000D_
This volume reflects the incremental improvements and breakthroughs made at 11 global meetings. During the conference keynote speakers provided a range of insights and depth of experience spanning the fundamentals of rock fracture through to the practical implementation of blasting knowledge and know-how. A further 87 papers delved into many facets of the blasting industry, including blast modelling, blasting in challenging environments and geology, management of vibrations, airblast, dust and fumes, rock fragmentation - models, measurements and control, case studies/practical solutions to real-world problems, blast-induced damage - models, measurement and control, blasting impacts on downstream processes, recent research and developments in surface and underground rock blasting, specialised blasting methods for civil works and other applications, new and novel explosives and initiation systems, innovative blast measurement techniques, and rock dynamics and economics of blasting - production, technology and environment.
