- Abstract
- Geo-engineering problems are known for their complexity and high uncertainty levels, requiring precise definitions, past experiences, logical reasoning, mathematical analysis, and practical insight to address them effectively. Soft Computing (SC) methods have gained popularity in engineering disciplines such as mining and civil engineering due to computer hardware and machine learning advancements. Unlike traditional hard computing approaches, SC models use soft values and fuzzy sets to navigate uncertain environments. This study focuses on the application of SC methods to predict backbreak, a common issue in blasting operations within mining and civil projects. Backbreak, which refers to the unintended fracturing of rock beyond the desired blast perimeter, can significantly impact project timelines and costs. This study aims to explore how SC methods can be effectively employed to anticipate and mitigate the undesirable consequences of blasting operations, specifically focusing on backbreak prediction. The research explores the complexities of backbreak prediction and highlights the potential benefits of utilizing SC methods to address this challenging issue in geo-engineering projects. © 2024 Tech Science Press.
