    This document provides a spreadsheet to calculate the configuration of a single blast hole for coal mining based on parameters like coal seam depth, rock type, blasting agent density, and distance to nearby structures. The spreadsheet calculates values like hole depth and diameter, burden, spacing, stemming, powder column, charge weight, powder factor, scaled distance, and peak particle velocity. Required information includes the rock type, blasting agent density, distance to structures, and hole depth.

    Coal Mine Single Hole Blast Design

    The following spreadsheet will calculate the configuration of a single blast hole. The calculations are based on the following parameters: coal seam depth, rock type, blasting agent density, and the distance of the nearest structure. Rock Type (SH, SS, LS) Blasting Agent Density (r) (g/cc) Distance to Nearest Structure (D) (ft) Hole Depth (H) (ft) Hole Diameter (d) (in) d(in) = H / 7.5 Burden (B) B(ft) = 2.5 * d(in) Spacing (S) S(ft) = 1.5 * B(ft) Stemming (T) T(ft) = 0.7 * B Powder Column (PC) PC(ft) = H - T - F(ft) - T d (ft) Loading Density (LD) LD(lb/ft) = 0.3405 * r * d 2 Charge Weight (CW) CW(lb) = PC * LD Powder Factor (PF) PF(lb/yd 3 ) = CW / (B * S * H / 27) Scaled Distance (SD) SD(ft/lb 1/2 ) = D / CW 1/2 Peak Particale Velocity (PPV) PPV(in/s) = 438 * SD -1.52 0.00 Blast Hole Cross-section 0 0 0 0
