Resumen:
In this seminar graduation thesis the prediction of the fragmentation of the open pit mines, We have taken Calcareos Huayco quarry like a example , the lack of application of different methods of predicting the fragmentation of material flown in different quarries of Ecuador specifically from quarries near the city of Guayaquil and the great benefits of control of fragmentation in the blasting has prompted us to develop a simple procedure to control fragmentation. For this work we require the following data, geology and physical properties of solid mechanics to study, method of calculation for the development of grid blasting method of Cunningham to get the rock factor A, Development of equations of the method KUZ RAM selected for this case of study.
