An interactive tool for determination of maximum charge, or minimum distance, for a selected threshold value of peak particle velocity (PPV), given appropriate values of site-specific parameters.

An interactive tool for determination of peak particle velocity (PPV) for a given charge, distance and site parameters for assessment of vibration damage potential.

This tool graphically determines peak particle velocity PPV and distance thresholds for varying levels of potential discomfort and damage for a given distance R and specified values of charge weight W and site factors k and b.

DSS is a decision support system tool for mine planning and design. It provides planning advice, technical reference and case studies for strategic and tactical mine planning and design.

Selection of mining method based on orebody characteristics. This interactive tool is based on the Nicholas method, as modified by the Rock Mechanics Group of the University of British Columbia.

This tool determines the inter-ramp angle for a specified bench geometry and the approximate change (%) in excavation volume due to a change in inter-ramp angle.
