The main objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of blast-induced acceleration on the stability of slopes at Arakli-Tasonu limestone quarry where a planar shear failure has recently been observed. The planar failure occurred within rock layers consisting of limestone and clayey limestone. The triggering mechanism of the planar …

Dust emissions from quarry blasting can travel high into the atmosphere, carried by air currents that may be monitored by regulators miles beyond the site line. The DustBoss DB-100 can be placed downwind with a 0-50º vertical throw and a 70º horizontal oscillation range to fill the blast area with mist for a few minutes before detonation.

Rock fragmentation due to blasting depends upon many parameters. The properties of the explosive are one of them. In limestone quarries, ammonium nitrate–fuel oil (ANFO) or site mixed emulsion (SME) are generally used for rock fragmentation. Both these explosives cause substantial changes in the breakage mechanism of rockmass …

The quarry becomes deeper with each subsequent bench, with stepped benches reaching up to the original surface. With few exceptions, modern quarries rely on drilling and blasting to fragment the rock, which is then loaded onto offhighway trucks or belt conveyors for transport to a processing plant of some sort.

He grew up near a limestone quarry in Russellville, Alabama. "I've known about it since I was 5 years old," he says of the quarry. His father worked at the quarry. His grandfather worked there, too. The quarry opened in 1884 as the Rockwood Limestone Company, and in 1956 quarrying moved underground. "It was drills, it was loud, dusty."
