About Fragblast 10
The FRAGBLAST (short form of Rock Fragmentation by Blasting) conferences are the worldwide forum for scientific and technical update on all aspects of rock blasting and explosives engineering: rock fracture and fragmentation, explosives system design, tests and procedures, detonics, blast design, tunneling, blast vibrations and noise, numerical modeling, blast diagnostics, mine economics, 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 wellknown models, diagnostic tools and procedures, and sound practices have been presented in the FRAGBLAST symposia, representing a unique opportunity for exchanging knowledge, ideas and experiences among the participants. The proceedings of the FRAGBLAST symposia are to be found on the desks of researchers, consultants, field engineers and blasters. The FRAGBLAST community has been associated with the International Society for Rock Mechanics as Commission on Fragmentation by Blasting. Currently, it is a section of the International Society of Explosives Engineers. Its main goal is to promote understanding of explosive-rock interaction through exchange of research and field experiences in rock blasting. In the spirit of being truly international meetings, the FRAGBLAST Symposia have been shared among countries and continents through the years. The first symposium was held in Sweden in 1983 and since then it has been convened at intervals of 3-4 years at different locations around the world. These locations, selected by a standing International Committee from among several competing submissions, are chosen on the basis of prominence of mining activities and R&D initiatives of the host country. The 10th International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting FRAGBLAST 10 is scheduled to be held in New Delhi during November 24 - 29, 2012. The Fragblast Symposia represent the most important event in disseminating the latest advances in the science and technology of rock fragmentation by blasting and other related means.

The current Symposium is being organized by the Central Institute of Mining & Fuel Research (CIMFR), a premier organization of India providing basic research, R&D backup, advisory services and help in technology upgradation & adaptation to coal and mineral based industries to reach the targeted production with high standards o f s a f e t y, e c o n o m y a n d c l e a n e r environment. CIMFR is a constituent laboratory of the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) which is an autonomous body of the Government of India. An ensemble of 37 state-of-the art institutes, CSIR today is amongst the foremost publicly funded scientific and industrial research organizations in the world.
Workshops
It is planned to hold four workshops on key topics of interest to practitioners. These would be of two-day duration, and will immediately precede the main Symposium. Each workshop will be moderated by two leading researcher/ captain from industry on each of the four specific topics. The topics chosen for the workshops are: 1. Explosive Performance and New Developments 2. Blasting in Mines New Trends 3. Fragmentation Monitoring Techniques & Analyses 4. Tunnelling in Rocks
