Mining and civil engineering

Besides borehole sealants for the oil industry, CBS may have other mining and civil engineering applications. These include reinforcement of mined out structures, water shut off, and underground and underwater construction, etc. 

Since detonative explosives are kept in various types of vessels used for different objectives such as warheads, bombs, and industrial mines and civil engineering, the performance of the explosives is dependent not only on the chemicals and mass of explosives but also the physical shape of explosives. When a detonation is initiated at a point in an explosive charge, the detonation wave propagates spherically in all directions. When a detonation is initiated at a point at one end of an explosive charge, the detonation wave propagates semi-spherically in the charge. Thus, the... 

Two other more dilute and much less easily worked sources of solid fossil fuels are oil shale and tar sands. Each of two relatively small areas of the North American continent have amounts of oil bound in shales and sands which, when retorted out, could produce more oil than the total of all of that of the Middle East (5), Billions of dollars have been spent and are being spent to implement the work of a thousand chemical, mechanical, mining, and civil engineers, geologists, and other scientists working for 15 to 20 companies. Climate problems add to the material problems of having to mine, process by extraction and/or retorting, and then replace ten times as much solids as products. The oil shales are in an almost barren semidesert and the tar sands are in a very wet (in summer) area within 10° of the Arctic Zone.

As an illustration of practical methods of using explosives it is proposed to describe in some detail the way in which a tunnel may be driven through rock. This is a process common to all mining operations and frequently used in hydroelectric and civil engineering work.
