The
International Symposium on Rock
Fragmentation by Blasting, Fragblast9 will
take place September 13-17, 2009 in Granada,
Spain. The Symposium is organized by the
Fragblast Section of ISEE, also known as the
Committee on Fragmentation by Blasting.
ISEE's Fragblast Section was established to
organize Fragblast symposia, develop the
Fragblast Journal and to share information
among scientists and engineers working in
the field of fragmentation by blasting. The
governing committee members of the Section
serve as permanent members of the
International Organizing Committee.
The Fragblast Conferences
The
Conference is an unparalleled combination of
scientific advances and practical
applications. The primary goal of the
symposium is to bring together an
international community of researchers,
educators and blasting engineers to promote
the understanding of explosives-rock
interaction and to exchange research and
field experience in rock fragmentation.
The Fragblast conferences are the
worldwide forum for a scientific and
technical update on all aspects of rock
blasting and explosives engineering:
rock fracture and movement, explosives
design, testing and properties, detonics,
blast design, blast seismics, numerical
modeling, economical aspects, etc.
Through their history, beginning in
1983, the Fragblast conferences have
served the blasting community with an
unparalleled combination of scientific
advances and practical applications. The
most well-known models, analysis tools
and doctrine-driving experiences have
been presented in the Fragblast
symposia, which has made them a unique
opportunity for exchanging knowledge,
ideas and experiences among the
participants. The proceedings of the
Fragblast symposia are must-have
literature on the working desk of
researchers, scholars, consultants,
field engineers and blasters.
The Fragblast movement has been regularly
meeting at the conferences of the same name
approximately every three years. In the spirit of being
truly international meetings, the Fragblast
Symposia have been shared among countries
and continents through the years:
(1) Sweden, 1983
(2) United States, 1987
(3) Australia, 1990
(4) Austria, 1993
(5) Canada, 1996
(6) South Africa, 1999
(7) China, 2002
(8) Chile, 2006
The 9th edition will go
back to Europe, to the monumental city of
Granada, Spain on September 2009. Fragblast9 will meet the attendees’ expectations of
scientific and technical excellence, and
charm.
