2016/11/9 Chapter 5: Mechanics of rock blasting 6 Expansive action of expansion gases Tensile action of reflective stress wave Comprehensive action with expansion and tension Essence of comprehensive action： By A.H.XaHyKaeB , three classifications of rock : (1) Rock of high impedance(MPa·s/m), from 15 to 25, is failed main by incident and reflective stress wave. (2) Rock of medium impedance, from 5 to 15, is failed mainly by comprehensive action of incident stress wave and explosion gases. (3) Rock of low impedance, lower than 5, is failed mainly by expansive action of explosion gases. The initial crack is produced by shock wave and stress wave and filled with explosion gases which force the crack to grow further with quasi-static pressure. Quasi-static energy, produced by explosion gases, is the main force of rock failure. Section 1: Fundamental theory of rock failure（3）
