overbreak

[′ō·vər‚brāk]

(civil engineering)

Rock excavated in excess of the neat lines of a tunnel or cutting. Also known as backbreak.

overbreak

Any excavation beyond the limits set by the neat line.

Unplanned dilution consists of waste, which is mined due to overbreak, which may result from poor drilling or blasting or as any waste incorporated during mucking.

ABSTRACT: Discontinuities are an integral part of the rock masses and pose special problems in blasting operations in mining and civil industries resulting in high excavation cost due to underbreak and overbreak problems.

INFLUENCE OF GEOLOGICAL DISCONTINUITIES UPON FRAGMENTATION BY BLASTING

Our aim has been to reduce the risk of people working beneath unsupported ground during heading development, as well as to cut the amount of heavy manual handling that face crews need to do when installing supports such as steel arches." The MR341 can be equipped for PLC control, which then allows cutting profile control to be included--an important feature where arch support is being used, since both under- and overbreak must be minimized.
